I think we should not try to forcefully preserve jobs that are no longer needed, AND I think it could cause harm in the short term, and lead to further transfers of wealth.
- Avicebron 3y agoI'm curious as to your solution to providing comparable (better?) options for those people who have been displaced? Agreed this will cause further transfers of wealth, but with the caveat that this will probably be upwards (it always seems to be) and in denser concentrations leading to long term harm.
- jazzyjackson 3y ago(not the parent poster): Treat data like oil, a public resource, and redistribute the profits to everyone equally. I don't love the idea of taxing profits and letting the government send checks out, so being creative, how about we force dilution of the stockholders of whoever wins the AI wars and make every citizen a beneficiary of dividends.
- Avicebron 3y agoI see no problem with this as long as the dividends are equal to the potential of anyone displaced or otherwise having their marketshare impacted. EDIT: otherwise, if I lose a 120k+ (or whatever) job a year programming because one engineer and a cadre of llms is 'good enough' for management, and all I get is $15 a month for my portion of the collective dole, it's not really a solution.
