no matter our computational techniques, the diminishing returns in predictive precision is reached far sooner than we achieve general intelligence
Thar very bold presumption. How can they be so sure of this, that any future models can tackle the issue? have they got proof or something.

who fucked up the handling of Mandatory Palestine in the first place.
The British didn’t fuck up. It was done exactly as intended and designed by the Zionist movement to give the Israel the strategic leverage to occupy more and more land after the initial partitioning.

I am quite disappointed. I also think same exact question as my native language is not gender based. I expect to see answers based on studies or research. Much that I see here are opinions. Lemmy doesn’t seem to have subject matter experts.

I wish to re-live my school life with better career counselling experience. Career counsellors were non-existent during my school years. I supposed, my career path will be a lot less complicated if someone could direct me to the right career based on my inclination instead of me choosing jobs that has nice titles.
- Comment on Google Removes App That Helps People Boycott Pro-Israel Companies 5 months ago:
kinda agree with this, to some extend. We can only do selective boycott, those that won’t directly affect our life given that there are other options, like not going to Starbucks or McD. If we really want to boycott Israeli products and techs, we won’t get access to modern tech at all - they are everywhere.
- Comment on Fears of employee displacement as Amazon brings robots into warehouses 6 months ago:
Finally, I get a realistic answer.
Anyway, if I am a capitalist like Bezos, I will discreetly implement the full automation system to a new factory instead of rebuilding the system in already existing factory. By doing that, the system is there by design and its introduction won’t impact any prospective workers, because there won’t be any (existing) worker anyway. However, its impact to the society can’t be neglected, because it’s. a lost opportunity for low-skilled people.
If there are enough number fully automated facilties built this way and if there is no social system in place to help them, the unemployable lower skilled workers will be doomed. As a capitalist, I don’t care. The politicians won’t bat an eye, as they’re no issues being raise as it is done discreetly. The low-skilled people will become more.and more impoverished without them ever realize.
- Comment on Fears of employee displacement as Amazon brings robots into warehouses 6 months ago:
Automation is not the point of argument. That going to happens no matter what. Inm fact I touch about it in my other comment.
The point to ponder is how to address the impact of automation. As far as I know even without full automation, the US (and many other capitalism based) don’t have a good record to address the difficulty faced by low skilled workers, e.g. depicted by Nomadland. To simply give utopian solution won’t address the issue and would be premature.
Unless we are talking about Scandinavian countries social system, that’s a whole different issue.

The kind of. answer already expected. Keep dreaming, dear Don Quixote.
- Comment on Fears of employee displacement as Amazon brings robots into warehouses 6 months ago:
Not a word that you wrote I didn’t agree upon. In fact that leads to whay I am very cautious about in the future.
Philosophically, if the middle class ceases to exist were fucked.
What you pointed above covers my last sentence.
Even the white collar job won’t be spared.
The way the world. is moving right now is roughly: agriculture -> industrial -> service. Now, when the service sector. is dominating the market, agriculture and industrial sectors still play big roles but with a different twist - the utilisation of automation. So now we have drones, GPS-equipped agriculture machinaries, big fully automated factories to do the works more efficiently that require less and less worker. The more. automation we get, the less low-skill workers we are going to need. So the job markets will shrink and we will need less. and less people for a particular work. Thus, we are going a new kind of jobs to cater for workers that where their jobs has become obselete. Just imagine that a container tanker that is the size of a football field will need the same amount of. crew members (around 30) as compare to very small ship decades before.
Fortunately, more. and more people were able to access education and become the middle-class, and propel industrialization and service industries further. The middle-class during this time will be relatively safe and enjoy quite confortable lives. But, those lower skills are under threats because more and more of their jobs are taken by machines. They have nowhere to go simply because they have no education. Right now there are still safe. The can works with amazon, they can drive ubers, ride door dash etc. And the ability to have this kind of odds jobs (I forget the term) and gain easy and fast will make them complacent and dependable on these jobs and less eager to gain education. This is the trend that we are seeing more. and.more happening to generation Z.
The problems is this kind of jobs will not stay static. Somewhere along the ways, automation will. come in their way and grasp the jobs from them. We are still in the infancy period, but once we are able to perfect the technology, automation is. going to stay. So the pioneering tech that we ees happening in California like pioneering techs in California like self-driving ubers, automation in amazon warehouse, self-flying drones are going to be prevalent scenes, not in the near future, but somewhere in the future. When that happens, we need a new kind of jobs to cater the low-skill workers. What kind of jobs? I don’t know. But we need to have them. Or we need a different kind of society, more social oriented. If not, they will be doomed.
However, the middle-class won’t be safe at all, for the same reason that happens to the low-income class: automation. In the future, automation will complement service industry by the utilisation of AI. Certain jobs will become obselete. We are going to nerd less workers, analogous during the industrial period. It will be easier to write a book, writer will be less dependent to proofreader/editor, less. teachers, less lecturers, less customer-facing workers etc. It is slowly happening now. More and more we will be using automated system (e.g. bots in chat apps) and will liaise with more human. Internet itself is a great example. Those who would be safe maybe are scientists and researchers, system maintainers, or technology developers. Simply say AI will take over many jobs. It won’t be happening now, as the AI technology is still in infancy but I bet will happen sometimes in the future. During that time the middle-class will be fucked up. Rent will no longer be in parity with earnings, life will become harder, in fact middle-class will cease to exist and merging with low-income class as a result of automation.
Where will automation have the greatest impact? Sorry to say, but the developed nation will first suffer the consequences due to higher level of competition, high wagers and disparity of cost of. loving wrt earnings. The developing nation will slowly learn from that.
That’s my take. The impact of AI if the development of technology is not in parallel with the development of societal values.
That why I really disagree with the top OP - nonchalantly trivializing the impact of automation towards the low-income workers. Automation can be a gift or a curse, depending on how it is utilised.

There’s a difference between being idealistic and quixotic. With the introduction of machanization, the problem is not unemployment due to not enough jobs but there won’t be any job at all. The real question is how to accommodate these people when there won’t any job for them? The seemingly scary solution is this current real capitalist world is to leave them on the street. Unless you can provide the better solution to this real world problem, I suggest to keep your utopian world in your dream.
Just head up: the future is scary for the next generation inline. Even the white collar job won’t be spared.
- Comment on Fears of employee displacement as Amazon brings robots into warehouses 6 months ago:
What a short-sighted view. Some people sacrifice themselves to be treated like machine because that the only option for them to. earn a living. You take the job away from them, they’ll end up on the street. I fear for them.
We need to find a better ways for them not to be treated badly, not ways where they’ll end up badly.

- Comment on What if the Gaza Strip declared independence? 7 months ago:
They are not going to declare independence from the whole Palestine, very unlikely so. Even though they are separated from the West Bank, they have a lot of supporters there. People in the West Bank even voted in majority for them in 2006. The only reason they can’t rule the West Bank is because Fatah has greater number of henchmen there and Fatah got the support from Israel and the West to cling to power.
Currently if you study the maps, their forces is moving towards the West Bank, at one time just 10km from it. And they have been making many pleas in the social media to invite those in the west bank to join them. So, they’ve been quite a number of incidence of attack in the area around west bank, indicating that they are gaining more support.
So the trend now is for them to unite instead of separated into different entity.
