- GPerson 2y agoUnlike with farms, there’s not an alternative way of life in the city to run to.
- kridsdale1 2y agoSure there is. When your knowledge work is automated, go farm.
- throwaway290 2y agoYou mean the big cos that develop all those LLMs and robots that we give free pass for profiting by slowly killing programming/intellectual/creative jobs with ML trained on our work, you will be totally safe from them if you do farming? Why? If farming is safe from it then why intellectual/creative work isn't?
- giantg2 2y agoWhat alternate does farming have?
- GPerson 2y agoIn the 20th century American farmers moved to cities as their jobs were displaced by increasing mechanization.
- whatshisface 2y agoThat's not tractors so much as the benefit of owning a lot vs. a few risks.
- giantg2 2y agoOne benefit of owning a lot is that we see the big players using self driving tractors, bigger machines, etc. The point was that farming has consolidated over and over during the past 100 or so years. The point was that "no one asked farmer to do less work", but now you need fewer farmers to do it. That means those jobs need to go somewhere. That's going to be true of the jobs supplemented by AI - they aren't going away, but you'll need fewer and they will likely be concentrated with the big players.
