AI should, in theory be a huge bonus for mankind, but alas, as you say, the effects on the workforce will, in time, be catastrophic. If life and economies ran to a fairer model, we would all reap the benefits but of course the profits will end up in the same few hands, I am certainly not a socialist and in fact very pro capitalism, but I am certain you know exactly what I mean.
The idea of the drudgery of most jobs and the dry research being taken away by the terminators AIbot's to free up the minds of the masses to conduct more fulfilling, creative roles is appealing but in reality, we know how it will go.
so while people might be losing jobs, their damn costs don't go down, they freaking go up! Fuckers. lol.
Amen brother, ain't it the way of the world?
Good to hear that you have thought far enough through to have built-in contingency plans, (I would expect nothing less). I always enjoy the humble, reality of your words, that is something AI could never replicate.
Take good care of you and yours man, happy August 🌻
Yeah dude, I know what you mean. Corporate fascism is alive and well in the world today! By the real meaning of the word, not this silly trope that people toss around without really understanding what the meaning is.
Yes for sure the whole AI thing is being sold to us as a release from the banality of many jobs, but in reality it is just one of the most intense control mechanisms possible. That is what many of us fear, but the important thing is that many, many people are speaking out against it. The more we collectively say NO, the higher the chance that the worst will not come to pass. We should never become lax in our desire to fight the madness, but we have to celebrate the wins when we get them!
Cheers mate, happy August! Hope it's a month full of progressive walk milestones and you'll be at a few kilometers before you know it!
Nailed it man!
They do a dis-service to the idea of protest and speaking out from a position of knowledge and understanding and so often, love to shut down debate with a sly slogan orr two.
I would far rather have genuine debate and maybe learn a thing or two from the other person, I have many friends with whom I disagree strongly on many things, but after spirited debate, we go back to being regular friends and hopefully both learn a point or two that we hadn't considered before.
I am convinced we have many similarities in how we see the world, politically and philosophically but probably a few points we could happily disagree on without
cancellingeach other 😁Just imagine how much that collective defiance would be if we all operated from similar principles, that NO! would ring fear to the people and organisations that need to hear it most...
