My son pivoted his last semester in college and is learning a skill. I think he'll be fine in the medium term, maybe longer because the public will want actual people to do the job. My daughter.....she needs to meet an AI Robot. Love her to death, but she thinks dad is telling ghost stories.

Since we didn’t live on the farm and I have a buddy who ran framing crews I got our son a job framing houses when he was 15, he hated it at first but he’s thanked me. He learned what work is plus he’s building his 4th personal house which will be paid for once it’s done.

People will have to learn to work with their hands, only so much an artificial brain can do.

I don't think anything is safe except maybe pushback for public service and civics. Advancements in robotics coupled will AI will eventually make everything obsolete. The big hurdle will be cost, but mass production and more automation will bring down the costs, and maybe resources. Perhaps the biggest roadblock for implementation in a lot of industries will be unions.

Getcha gun licenses and stock up boys and girls. UBI isn't coming, we can't even fund Social Security that is paid for by the working class.
My only thought is AI was known about and was perfected pre-covid and covid was supposed to be a semi-mass extinction event for the most of us.
If you think elites want us alive, when we aren't needed you're wrong.

My company's head of IT comes in to my office last week and tells me that we are not seriously planning for the impact of AI to our company and to the economy at large. The number of jobs that will be eliminated over the next 25-50 years is astronomical. AI is already writing code that he says is as good as the professionals doing it now. He went down the list of occupations that will practically disappear, everything from school teachers to truck drivers to banks. With the advent of robotics a lot of tasks, especially in manufacturing will go away. Imagine no pilot in the cockpit of your Delta flight to Maui.

It really shows its stuff in research. Our business involves the analysis of business entities for sale or purchase. Our best people are the ones who get into the numbers and tell us the total truth about a company, not just what the owners claim. We do written reports and even determine value. The IT guy tells me AI can already do most of that work in a small fraction of the time. So we are having him do an AI generated analysis to compare with one we are doing normally. This could be life changing for a lot of people in our company.

As we were standing there, I had the IT guy ask his phone for a clause in a contract to resolve a specific kind of post-transaction adjustment based on earnings. It gave us one in 5 seconds. I couldn't have typed the request into my standard search program in the time it took to answer.

So what is everyone going to do for income or do we just figure the machines will wipe us out when they become sentient?

There will always be human pilots flying our planes... even if they only serve in a backup role. AI and computers are amazing but not foolproof. Moreover it's the psychology of such situations that will rule personnel decisions (human v. AI).

But, yeah, robots are coming for our jobs, in general.

You likely will be one of the first humans replaced by "AI".

Austerity could be coming for your retirement funds too. Lock and load, smoke ‘em if you got ‘em and all that kind of 💩

Why would anyone need a gun license? Heck, I don’t even know what that is.

President Donald Trump is directing every federal agency to cease using technology from American AI company Anthropic, the latest development in a high-stakes dispute that could shape the future of how artificial intelligence is used.

The Pentagon, which uses Anthropic’s Claude AI system on its classified networks, wants to be able to use it for “all lawful purposes.” But Anthropic has two redlines for the Pentagon: that Claude will not be used in autonomous weapons, and that it will not be used in the mass surveillance of US citizens.

Trump is an ethically-devoid scumbag. Now he's going to slam the door on the most advanced AI company in the United States and likely the world. Obviously, Trump has evil (yes, evil is the accurate description here) plans which either include autonomous weapons or mass surveillance of our populace by our government.

There is no other explanation.

This is your manchild, MAGA cultists! Destroying our economy and the future of the United States one day at a time.

Putin's wire to Donnie's Swiss bank account clicks again.

The patriot act should be repealed

A private company can 100% say they’re not gonna allow their product be used to create a surveillance state

And the government can 100% say then we aren't using your stuff


I'm not for this to be used in a nefarious way but to be shocked the government doesn't want to be told how to use the product it is buying from you shouldn't be surprising

Absolutely

I’m not shocked. I believe a surveillance state has been in the works for a long times and it should piss people off. This to me is basically the government openly admitting to it

I think the surveillance train sailed long ago. IMO this is all about autonomous weapons

I just wish us private citizens could do the same.

It’s already illegal (yeah I know thats a joke) for the feral government to mass surveil US citizens.

Sadly it doesn’t matter

I don’t understand how the patriot act hasn’t been ruled unconstitutional
