First, I seriously doubt AI will replaced 55K people by 2030. However, even if it turns out to be a mess and we look back and laugh at it like we do with BTC. The negative side of this type of corporate behavior will only push more and more people away from the traditional work force or just work force completely. I'm not a big fan of modern capitalism and its overworking culture, but societies in generally can't handle massive amount of able body people who simply don't work. Monetary issue is one thing, but mental health will significantly impact our society safety.
- goofy_goober 3y agoBTC isn't even a good comparison in this case. We can talk about its intentions endlessly, but the fact of the matter is that you can buy some actually useful stuff with it at the end of the day (pornography, VPN services, domain names, computer and electrical equipment from NewEgg, etc), pay state taxes with it in Colorado (and taxes in the Swiss canton of Zug), and it has even gained legal tender status in some countries. Generative AI and stuff like that will be much easier to judge the success or failure of. If we are ripping our hair out when contacting customer support 15 years from now (roughly the amount of time Bitcoin has existed), generative AI (I assume that's what you're talking about) for the purposes of customer support is a failure. Beyond that, sophisticated generative AI is the digital equivalent of discovering nuclear fission: it destroys online human discourse and pollutes the areas it infects with artificial garbage (fallout). I know I'm not the only one who's sick of seeing DALL-E stuff on Instagram and DeviantArt, and seeing stuff obviously written by LLMs in internet comment sections.
