Mental ilness has nothing to do with unemployment. In fact Mental ilness is a product of low understanding of yourselve and how the mind works. Many people don't even know why they are depressed in the first place and don't seek help.

    25:39 My father began working as a computer programmer in a lab exactly like this at the San Diego Union-Tribune in the same year, 1968. I remember those machines well. They were loud, and the A/C fans even louder. There were seemingly miles of cables underneath the 3' ceiling tile-type false flooring. I once rolled over them on my roller-skates to hear the hollow.

    Computers did take people's jobs.Telephone operators lost their jobs in the 1960s. Typists lost their jobs in the 1970s, in the 1980s data entry operators and computer operators lost their jobs, in the 1990s, many forms based processes became computerised and the clerks who used to process the forms lost their jobs so did many factory workers and assembly line workers. In the 2000s clerks and some accounts lost their jobs. Now it is large truck drivers in the mining industries and train drivers losing their jobs and some managers and some computer programmers.

      You are right. And the banker who was confident that "service industry" employment would not be affected by computerisation got it wrong, ATMs have made banker tellers lose their jobs in large numbers and has seen numerous bank branches be replaced by a set of ATMs in shopping centre walk ways. Ticket machines saw bus and train conductors lose their jobs and train station masters, baggage handlers at train stations, and ticket sellers all lost their jobs too, replaced by machines or just nothing in the case of the baggage handlers. Of course new jobs have been created, and new services are wanted so people get new jobs but it is usually new people in the new jobs and many of the old job holders end up as the long term unemployed or are forced into early retirement.

    I distinctly remember back in 1983 in my school we had one computer - an Apple IIe - that only two people knew how to use. My teacher who was the head of mathematics and myself who had expressed an interest in learning how to use it. Our school woefully under-prepared its students for any form of computer knowledge in the workplace.
    When I joined the workforce in 1984 there was zero computer knowledge amongst most people I worked with and to this day I still encounter people at my work who are technology illiterates except for knowing how to use social media on their smartphones. Australia should be at the forefront of technology, manufacturing, and STEM learning yet we have devolved to be a services country that digs minerals out of the ground to keep our economy running.

      ,_, Im disappointed.
      Edit: WHYYY does humanity keep doing this to me?
      (Why is humanity destroying every thought I have about it being able to think?)
      We were literally made for survival and social adaption.
      AI is about training towards doing something the right way to achieve a certain goal.
      Of course it can adapt to humans in a way that its actions are not just a little shifted for the social part.
      But there are physical laws and although the optimum in solving problems may be very impressive it isnt magic.
      You can only do so much in a certain time period from your current state.
      Its not about either wanting or not wanting to help humans, its about the optimum solution to problems (I think ai right now most of the times just rolls down the hill and tries to get to the deepest point of a valley with it being hard to know whether the hill next to it has a deeper valley on the other side), which often is a balance between many things and as long as they wont achieve their goals as well, because we dont let them to, because they dont do what we want, they will have to adapt to that.
      The question is whether they as singular systems will be able to find smart solutions to problems without having had to try something similar to check whether it works and use that to do something that allows them to effieciently succeed in what they have to do without us being able to stop them at the right moment.. but:
      1. Backups and switches, they wont be able to use magic to prevent you from using it. (Very strong auto activation when they get too close to certain objects?)
      2. Finding a way to get a clear overview of what they will do. (Maybe something that changes them based on how we feel or think, but the information stays seperate from the ai, something interpretes the data from us and the ai and affects the ai with it.
      The ai needs to be incapable of changing based on the observed change in itself (maybe, but maybe not).
      If its capable of that then maybe its own processing of that needs to be seperated from the events that happen by making it observe it with a changing amount of time between it. (Random would be nice, but. Processing and magic ai) This has disadvantages (Im saying dodo-water the whole time and will continue to do this)
      3. Literally make its model to process worse for specific things (like, naaaah, who wants that and it doesnt even work with magic ai, so??)
      4. 2 again, because understanding what the values in their network mean is super useful. If you're wondering "Why would we make ai in the first place if we can understand the optimum solution?", well, because to me it seems like checking the optimum solution for the values it has usually costs less work than finding out what it is. (Jep.. (help, Im disappointed in both humanity and myself)).
      So, this is my brilliant plan, because duhhh, it works this way.
      Oh, and the four laws of robotics really make sense 👍
      Yes yes yes.. mm. They do.
      Exponential growth in smartiness seems cool.
      But please, no talking about magic ai (I accept prepared ai, or not, you can do both but I'd be disappointed), maybe talk about clearly physically capable of solving problems in annoying ways ai, but real rules.
      Movies in which someone does something in a very precise way to start a chain of events that ends with the desired outcome only works for a lot of spread possibilities/chaotically spread possibilities (magic (or lucky) ai required)/luck for location? (Maybe there are so many initial location possibilities (also chaotic) with there being a small chance that the location to do it has the right possibilities for it to be able to go right there (luck of location) that there are still quite some locations that have the possibilities that are needed so magic ai can find them???)
      You better read this confusing mess
      (=. = )
      Second Edit: Im talking about magic ai, but what I mean when I say it is half the (seemingly ._.) impossible kind that is able to glitch the universe and half the kind that is able to just find the beeeest solution to a problem fast without having to try the other ones.
