Meanwhile in the US they're replacing artists, writers, and teachers
- jfengel 6mo agoJobs everyone thinks are easy and nobody likes the people who do it.
- Ancalagon 6mo agoWhy would people not like artists?
- kube-system 6mo agoRampant anti-intellectualism and machismo
- jfengel 6mo agoSome think of art as the ridiculous "fine art" market for snobs and money launderers. Some think of the kind of people who use Macintoshes for a living, and are therefore pretentious latte-sipping slackers who couldn't get a real job. And various other negative stereotypes.
- TurdF3rguson 6mo agoI agree with the teachers one. Having one lady in charge of educational instruction for that many kids will be looked back upon as barbarism.
- gentoo 6mo agoSo the solution is to have less ladies in charge? Who's going to wipe snot off the kids' noses, pull legos out of their mouths, and tell them not to hit each other?
- TurdF3rguson 6mo ago> Who's going to wipe snot off the kids' noses, pull legos out of their mouths, and tell them not to hit each other? The robots? That's what we're discussing in this thread.
- FridgeSeal 6mo agoThe solution is more teachers, smaller class sizes and not underpaying and abusing teachers to function as nanny’s also charged with raising your children. This isn’t exactly a mystery problem, we’ve understood clearly how to educate humans well for quite a while. It’s just that doing it properly is “eXpEnSiVe” as if the alternative, isn’t quietly orders of magnitude worse, and more costly.
- TurdF3rguson 6mo agoEven if you doubled the number of teachers (which you won't), we're still not getting to anything that resembles individual instruction. We're still basically warehousing those kids, and we can do better.
- tehjoker 6mo agoclass sizes of 15 is better than 30 and 7 is better than 15.
- akudha 6mo agoI want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes. From: https://x.com/AuthorJMac/status/1773679197631701238 https://x.com/AuthorJMac/status/1773679197631701238 As a species, we need to evaluate our attitudes to work. The quote above resonates at some level, but maybe there are some people who enjoy doing dishes and laundry, who knows. Most people are just surviving. It is a constant battle between slaving away in jobs (and have healthcare tied to our jobs) we don't like and rest of our lives, including relationships, hobbies, even health. Most people do not have the time or energy to think about anything else other than just getting through the day.
- TurdF3rguson 6mo agoThe funny thing is that dishes and laundry are already automated and people are still complaining about them. Do we need a humaniform robot to move the clothes from the washer to the dryer? Maybe we just need smarter appliances.
- acuozzo 6mo ago> laundry [is] already automated Partially. Ironing/steaming is only partially automated. Folding/hanging is not.
- shiroiuma 6mo agoNot for that task, you don't. Just get a washer/dryer. They're very common where I live: the machine both washes and dries your clothes, and uses a heat pump system on the dryer side for high efficiency. What's missing is a robot that will take the clothes out of your washer/dryer, fold them up, and put them away for you.
- TurdF3rguson 6mo agoYeah, that's Rosie from the Jetsons. Still a few years away unfortunately.
