You're engaging with it as though AI is actually going to revolutionize jobs. I think that's highly unlikely.
What AI is likely to do is distract people from the continued accumulation of wealth and power. Reinforce the notion that it's "fair" (everyone else can be automated after all). And provide a cap to your wages (if the machine could do it with 50 MWh of power, then your salary will logically have to be lower than that, even if the machine doesn't actually exist YET).
- thrashh 3y agoHow does that not describe every technology? The cotton loom didn’t present itself as a means of accumulating wealth and power, but yet it did. Why would you pay a group of people that much to weave when a cotton loom can do the work of 10? Anything that makes things easier will reduce the number of jobs.
