Yeah bro, its been three years. We are just beginning. We will replace the vast majority of professional service workers in 10 years including lawyers as Ai shifts to local and moves away from the cloud.
- sarchertech 8mo agoIf we wipe out the vast majority of white collar jobs in just 10 years, we’re talking complete economic collapse. No society can possibly absorb that kind of disruption over such a short time. Also even assuming AI could completely replace lawyers. Lawyers control the legislature. They may not be able to stop your local model from telling you how to do something, but they can stop you from actually doing it without a lawyer.
- nine_k 7mo agoEven subway train operators in NYC, whose job can be safely automated away, and has been for like 20 years, were able to legally mandate their jobs. I bet lawyers will, too. But the numbers of junior partners, and of paralegals, will dwindle.
- uxhacker 7mo agoBut then will we not need more judges and courts?
- ArchieScrivener 7mo agoCorrect, which is why we will have the first worldwide revolution as people realize their democracies are fake, they are simply enslaved by capitalists; which is exactly what they told us Commies would do.
- sarchertech 7mo agoThe chances of all of those revolutions not touching off world war 3 and decimating infrastructure and trade to the point that we can’t produce the chips to run AI is what now?
- ArchieScrivener 7mo agoVery low. I didn't say French Revolution. Political swing away from capitalism towards socialism.
- sarchertech 7mo agoYou said “the fist world wide revolution”, which implies a bit more than a swing toward socialism. My guess is we have a low chance of peacefully transitioning to socialism if we lose 40% of jobs in under a decade. Someone is going to take advantage of that the way Hitler did.
- coldtea 8mo agoThat's 70% of the population living in ghettos and the economy collapsing through lack of people with disposable income with extra steps.
- overgard 7mo agoI'm glad we have intelligent, mature, uncorrupted politicians who will be able to work together to make sure that this doesn't cause a depression so profound that the entire economy ceases to be viable. Oh..
- fragmede 7mo agoHey. I voted for the other one.
- gamblor956 7mo agoLawyers, doctors, and accountants aren't just paid to be knowledge workers. They're paid to accept responsibility for when they fuck up (even when it's not intentional). Programmers aren't held responsible for their screw-ups. If they were, software wouldn't be the buggy mess it is today.
- ArchieScrivener 7mo agoUntil you get firms willing to take on the risk and remove the human element. That is a hell of a war chest for fighting actionable incidents.
