There seems to be zero reason for anyone to invest any time into learning anything besides trades anymore.
AI will be better than almost all mathematicians in a few years.
- andrepd 11mo agoI'm very sorry for anyone with such a worldview.
- throwaway0123_5 11mo agoAre you saying this because you think that people should still try to learn things for personal interest in a world where AI makes learning things to make money pointless (I agree completely, though what I spend time learning would change), or do disagree with their assessment of where AI capabilities are heading?
- muldvarp 11mo agoOk. Can you explain why?
- never_inline 11mo agoSuch an AI will invent plumber robot and welder robot as well.
- muldvarp 11mo agoRobots scale much worse than knowledge work. But yes, I'm not bullish on trades either. Trades will suck as well when everyone tries to get into them because it's the only way to still earn a living.
- stOneskull 11mo agoBut don't you see, I came here to find a new job, a new life, a new meaning to my existence. Can't you help me? Well, do you have any idea of what you want to do? Yes, yes I have. What? (boldly) Lion taming.
- muldvarp 11mo agoThe underlying assumption here is that you won't have to earn a living anymore. Unless you already own enough to keep living off of it, you'll still have to work. That work will just suck more and pay less.
