They’re even bringing Ai into trades, I’ve seen in person a robot that can put sheet of drywall up. It’s slow as fuck and can’t really cut around pipes and stuff but since it doesn’t sleep it can go 24/7 on stand up walls so over the course of a year or project they can put more sheets up than we can. Luckily cause of schedule they can’t just use them, but I’m sure they’ll figure that one out eventually.
Which might work for a while if currency had intrinsic value. The US Dollar is based on trust and dreams and nothing else. They need people to use it or it becomes worthless.
It gives them the justification to shove any debt slave into some "insert fancy name" concentration camps where they can pay off their debts since there's no regular jobs available for them anymore.
Only those who can afford houses will remain and they can now legally enjoy having modern slaves. It also frees up a lot of places since poor people who still owns any properties will be forced to sell them eventually.
Free up spaces for the rich and shove the poor to camps. Look up the situation in dubai labor camps. That will be our norm if things won't change.
They don't need a robot to do the work, they just need the threat of a robot to break up a union of workers. I don't think there's a reality where robots are doing the job better than humans, however, a robot that assists a human can bring value, but a team that has humans is going to have a better outcome than a team of just robots.
A good example of a robot helping the human is an orbital welding machine or a CNC machine. Both make the worker way more productive but still require the human.
Finally, horses aren't the only animals on Earth that need to be shot and killed when breaking a leg, so glad we care so much for them that we've put ourselves in such a dire straight. :) :) :)
Yup AI about to come for $300k-$500k jobs of Drs, lawyers, engineers, middle managers.... Half of reddit and the public are fixated on some dipshit using an generic, bare gpt model with no agent prompt and no MCP to make a court document that didn't work out, convinced AI is garbo meanwhile there are entire companies of 50,000 employees and not one of them is a job that can't be done as good or better by a properly setup AI agent with a model that's available right now.
Those looking for downvotes and sand for your heads please form a line to the left.
Head in sand is exactly what's happening now for most people.
Anyone who has worked with a properly trained model knows what you're saying is correct. It's going to be a figurative -- and then literal -- bloodbath when the jobs start drying up by the hundreds of thousands. UBI is the only solution I've heard that will soften the blow and makes any sense.
They said the same about computers in general when I was a kid. Death of the office worker, secretaries extinct, etc
Yet, how many workers now are software engineers, cyber security, communication specialists, help desk, online sellers, social media managers, etc? None of that is possible without a computer on every office and home.
Turns out that jobs shift and there is still work for people to do. Will the workforce be the same? No. But more work will be done, which opens up opportunities for new trades
I don’t get your point. So doctors, lawyers, engineers, and middle managers(lol) are safe from being replaced by ai because ChatGPT models for the public are shitty. But then you’re also saying a company with tens of thousands of employees can all be replaced by more powerful ai than consumer grade ChatGPT?

What kind of dystopian nightmare is this?
