In the end it wasn’t AI will take a job. It was “somebody using AI will build systems that will remove the requirement of thinking to a degree that you become unemployable.”
@Jimburgess I watched odyssey and eating the lotus of forgetfulness while banging Charlize Theron for 7 years is the most apt description of what lack of hope does for you.
Unfortunately for the rest of us there’s no Charlize Theron involved usually :)
@Jimburgess When humans feel there’s no future they prioritize short term hedonism. There was a similar current in the 80s during peak of Cold War when ppl felt nukes are imminent.
@Jimburgess So both expectations things will be amazing and little in ways of sustaining yourself, build a family and accumulate some wealth longer term.
@Jimburgess I’m against victim mentality but truth is our youth have it worst of both worlds:
- fake unrealistic expectation everything will be amazing (social media)
- economic reality of being unemployable even with higher degrees and assets being overpriced to levels not seen in 100 years
