I'm actually a AI optimist. I think it'd be great to have everybody getting around in self driving vehicles.
replyIf all that AI brought resulted in just taxi/bus drivers being phased out of their jobs in a thoughtful way, then that would be more manageable at the society level. But we're talking about almost all sectors of the economy.
If the magnitude of changes that OpenAI and Athropic believe will be delivered with increasingly powerful AI (and robotics) comes in a time frame that significantly worsens a large proportion of people's lives, this is a different situation. Can super powerful AI not be developed in a way that minimizes such disruption?
What I’m hearing is “it’s ok when other people lose their jobs…”
replylol right. The nonchalance in referring to taxi/bus driver jobs.
replyRemember when we all said it's a good thing when the coal mining jobs are going away and that they should all just learn to code? Maybe a little more of that energy right now.
the thing with all this innovation is that it seems to be inextricably linked to rent extraction, so where is this "cheap" you speak of?
