Practically everyone’s job is going to be automated away before long, the important thing is that production is socialised before practically 1 guy owns everything and has to pay no one.
At that point things end up pretty concrete.
These opinion pieces that pop up saying “ha-HA! Behold the petard they’re hoisting themselves with!” Kinda miss the importance of preparation.
They falsely expect an easing to an exponential curve.
The cat leapt out of the bag decades ago, we all need to make sure we’ve got something left at the end of it all

We haven’t yet made an AI that can replace anyone’s job, so it might be better to hold off on resigning ourselves to that fate.
It doesn’t have to be AI. automation has already made a lost of jobs trivial or irrelevant, which is why we are so productive as a species and yet still do 40hr weeks.
Try searching for the theory of “bullshit jobs”. It’s all just patchwork to keep global capitalism based economy going in circles.
For sure, I was just pointing out the absurdity of saying it when machines like computers already do.
AI its current form is nowhere near general intelligence even when you string several different platforms together.
Like any tool it has it uses and misuses. I really could see an basic local AI on every personal computer that is like a help desk and secretary built in. Unfortunately that is not what these companies seem to be going for.
Oh no. God beware we would get really useful shit out of AI. Where’s the profit in that…
Recently installed a mod for Cyberpunk, which used generative AI to voice 5 trillion text-thingies so you could actually hear the lore while continue gaming. One single person was able to voice tons of thousands of text-lines with many different voices, accents and flairs. THAT was an excellent use for AI and it is even very good voice-“acting”.
So yeah, there are some really good ways to use it. But not in my toaster or toothbrush. And yeah, a basic LOCAL(!) AI on every computer I would appreciate. Focus here is LOCAL though. But again: where’s the profit in that.
Replace CEOs with AI. They will be just as crazy and incompetent, but we can pay them a lot less.

Let the tech giants have AI & all of human knowledge. They subsidize UBI with their bubble profits. They stole everything, so seems fair?

ah yes chatbot seller says these things will become so capable, they’re gonna destroy the world, just you wait and see, but need trillion dollars in financing first. op have you eaten your daily recommended pebble today?
Who can lead us to cooperative ownership of datacenter and internet hard infrastructure? Who will organize the collective digital workforce? Who will assemble the fund?

I’m sure those billionaires will be crying into their money when they’re finally “replaceed”.
Well as long as people will be using tech monopolies products, alternatives will be underfunded and there will be AI development. No movement or article can stop it.

Dude. It hasn’t even reached the capacity of a mildly intellectually challenged mouse.
Most calculators exceed human capacity.
Not intellectually. But mathematically. Most humans at least. Me for sure, I can’t even add two 1-digit-numbers in head without thinking :-)

I’m sure after Nvidia pay themselves again though openAI we will get AGI

Huge comfort to the starving masses.
