Is anybody else getting seriously depressed at the rate of advancement of AI? Why do we believe for a second that we’re actually going to be on the receiving end of any of this innovation?
Software developers and lawyers will probably have significantly lower incomes, and so to some extent, we'll lose status relative to everyone else. But software and legal work will become cheap as hell. This ought to reduce prices generally on just about everything. Even housing prices should go down, as the median worker will be making less money. Governments will probably try to counteract the ensuing deflation with massive stimulus programs. Optimistically, this could culminate in new UBI programs. A happy outcome is not by any means guaranteed, but seems likely in the long term.
So, IDK, maybe there will be killer robot dogs, but I’m not going down without a fight.
Not saying this is what’s happening though, I don’t think it was ever great to be poor or have low opportunities, or that it’s more lethal now than it ever was.
it can get much more lethal now compared to the past 50 years in US.
This seems to be opposite of reality though. The poorer you are the more children you are likely to have. Both in the US and globally.
If you mean beyond anyone’s imagination a way to push narrative propaganda ideology advertising sales BS… yea. I’m far less worried about my kids being bullied than I am being manipulated to a degree we just can’t imagine - and it’s bad now without AI.
Isn’t the entire point of Gemini bringing AI to the plebs ?
