If AI can do all the basic cognitive work, and robots can do all labor, then the cost for basic needs will be near zero. The jobs remaining would be to create new ideas and new frameworks for the machines. Others would take jobs doing human-to-human services that machines cannot.

During a vanity search earlier I found this quote on @daringfireball which I never even knew about. The funny part is how poorly my words held up over time. https://t.co/7q5o1XTVuk

I was just thinking how cool it would be if we could train robots with humans by making it a game people could play. Like window washer simulator. @elonmusk

AI is going to take over all our jobs, just like we had Flying cars in the 50s, Nuclear-powered everything in the 60s, Moon Bases in the 70s, Paperless offices in the 80s and VR dominance since the 90s.

@davezatz It’s fun to read old prediction posts, then I felt compelled to account for it. No payment necessary.

[Ben Drawbaugh @bjdraw]

I wrote something for the first time in a long time. About a 14 year TV prediction editorial I looked back on. Excuse the lazy formatting (literally). https://t.co/EITC2eSbLS

How can @burtonsnowboard claim to care about sustainability if they don't even sell replacement liners for boots? My two year old boots are fine, the liners are shot.

@samsheffer They are a real downer, if I wasn't watching live I would skip so I could enjoy the rest of my day without feeling depressed.

The Texas vs OSU game on Fox One in 4K looks great. Sure it would be better if it was true 4K, but still looks better than 1080p.

[Ben Drawbaugh @bjdraw]

@crf11111 @TVAnswerMan Actually, Fox was the first to go digital and the first to have progressive scan, instead of interlaced. And now they broadcast more higher res games than anyone else — but no, not real 4K.

Good to see Samsun Onyx back in the news. The reason people don't go to the movies is because the technology (even Dolby Cinema) is outdated. https://t.co/o2vRJLRCba

I get an email from @Xfinity because they increased my download speed by 100Mbps, meanwhile my upload still really sucks at 40Mbps. An upgrade is an upgrade, but who really needs more than 1Gbps down?

See what a competent run game can do for you? All of a sudden those safeties come up, the linebackers come up, the corners are hesitant and Bo puts one on the money!!

Run. The. Rock.

@Jason That is so ridiculous, like who would even notice another white man on the long list? Fighting racism with racism is like saying two wrongs make a right.

@ericwgreen @nflnetwork @YouTubeTV @DenverChannel The close-ups almost always look better, because you don’t need as much resolution to make a close-up look good as a wide angle.

[Ben Drawbaugh @bjdraw]

The Broncos at Bangles game on @nflnetwork looks terrible. Low resolution and blocky. Both on @YouTubeTV and @DenverChannel WTH

[Ben Drawbaugh @bjdraw]

@TeamYouTube Figured it out. The @nflnetwork feed on @YouTubeTV looks great, it was the @DenverChannel feed that is fuzzy. Must be 1080p to 720p conversion degradation. (YTTV UI defaults to the local channel)

[Ben Drawbaugh @bjdraw]

@TeamYouTube

[Ben Drawbaugh @bjdraw]

@ericwgreen @nflnetwork @YouTubeTV @DenverChannel It looks just as bad over-the -air (im in Denver) as it does on YouTube TV, so it must be the NFL network and my expectations.

[Ben Drawbaugh @bjdraw]

@TeamYouTube Thanks for the help, but it looks the same over-the-air on @DenverChannel via ATSC 3. So it must be the feed from @nflnetwork
