AI might be creating a ‘permanent underclass’ but it’s the makers of the tech bubble who are replaceable | Van Badham

  (AI will) reach or exceed human capacity” by 2027

  Dude. It hasn’t even reached the capacity of a mildly intellectually challenged mouse.

    Have you people spoken with 60% of humanity?

    Lying like this will get us nowhere.

      Actually. You’re right. I kinda retract my previous statement. With a heavy heart, I might add.

    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 :-)

  This is kinda cope

  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.

      I replaced all of my online contractors with AI. Our business will only hire local people from now on.

      It is well worth the money, and we just had it write a few programs that do what those contractors did.

      It sums up our email inbox for us.

      It writes near perfect customer responses (trained on our business data).

      I’m not sure what to tell you but some of you are going to be blindsided.

      It’s just a small business, too. Now that we don’t need to pay those contractors (who did a worse job than what we get now) we are scaling up.

      Believe me or don’t but i can’t be the only one doing this.

      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.

  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?

  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.

  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”.

  Huge comfort to the starving masses.
