I keep hearing about the potential of "new jobs" coming from ai but can anyone actually describe one? My gut says they will be something similar to converting middle class knowledge workers to do DoorDash drivers or trained artists becoming dog groomers. What a cool future, at least my parent's can watch racist ai slop videos on their iPads.
- Ntrails 8mo agoIt's simply a case of looking back and deciding this technical revolution is identical to the ones preceding it. Thus jobs destroyed will be replaced with new jobs, it always happens that way. Of course past performance is no guarantee of future success...
- tuatoru 8mo ago> jobs destroyed will be replaced with new jobs Not for horses though, or at least not the majority of them. Some were kept as pets or essentially status objects. In this case we are the horses.
- eli_gottlieb 8mo agoHorses couldn't revolt.
- jondwillis 8mo agoAnd we won’t. Uber Eats Burger Reich and all.
- voisin 8mo ago> In this case we are the horses. This is assuming the conclusion. The entire question is whether we are the horses or every other example of humans in the past who found other employment that was inconceivable previous to the technological revolution that rendered their old job irrelevant.
- Gud 8mo agoBut you are ignoring the substantial difference between previous technical revolutions, this time technology not replacing a mechanical operation.
- array_key_first 8mo agoAnd glue, you forgot glue. Maybe we'll get the Matrix plot line where we become human glue. Or, uh, batteries.
- laterium 8mo ago95% of human farmers lost their jobs because of industrial revolution. What happened then? No jobs were created and we still have 95% unemployment, right?
- navane 8mo agoHorses don't pay tax. The reason we have jobs is to pay tax.
