Even jobs in the tech sector are likely under threat. Remember that guy a few weeks ago showing an AI platform be built to design logos for customers? We're not far from having AI build our web pages, and then simple web apps, and then probably native apps, and before long, finding and patching bugs in software, and eventually writing the software itself
- nradov 10y agoYou don't need much in the way of AI to design and build simple web pages. Existing templates and wizards already do that; those jobs were automated away years ago. Patching all but the simplest software bugs will require real AGI. Understanding a bug and the side effects of a patch goes way beyond current AI technology, and there is still no defined R&D path which is likely to produce an AGI.
- cylinder 10y agoEven finance is being upended actively by automation and AI. The narrative will follow the "drug war." When it's the poor people (factory workers::blacks), they're just "losers" who need to try harder or should be locked away for decades. When it's happening in upper middle and middle class suburbia (opioid epidemic::white collar automation), then it's a "public health crisis that commands our empathy!"
- hshhdshdh 10y agoWe already are automated. It's called C. Python. Java. Go. How many programmers would it take to write Windows in Assembly?
- roryisok 10y agoIt's automated to a certain level, sure - but it's silly to assume we've reached maximum amount of automation possible in the space.
