It is very obvious there is a mass unemployment wave coming - or at least a mass "retraining" wave, though the new jobs "teaching AIs" or whatever remain to be seen. I hope everyone currently just questioning whether this will happen now is prepared to state it with conviction in the coming months and fight for some sort of social protection program for all these displaced people, because the profits from this new world aren't getting distributed without a fight.
- psychphysic 4y agoIf not unemployment and retraining then a lot of people are going to need to miraculously become better at their jobs. I somehow imagine it'll be the worst of both worlds but I'm a glass half empty kind of guy.
- moffkalast 4y agoWell it won't be miraculously, it'll be by using the AI tools to augment their work if anything. But probably unemployment.
- JohnFen 4y agoRetraining only works if there are jobs available.
- KevinGlass 4y agoAI doesn't have to better, or even 90% as good. It just has to be cheaper.
- carlosjobim 4y agoThere should be no tax payer money to these people. AI can never perform physical labour, so there is still a market for physical labour open for those replaced by AI. There will still be people working physical jobs as there are today, and you demand that they support those who are too lazy to work a physical job? No, they have to work as well. Everybody who doesn't have to do physical labour - including me - should be happy and grateful for that privilege - not try to rob even more from physical labourers, who in the end, create everything.
