You can calm down, even those with machine learning knowledge and most of those working for the AI labs won’t be needed anymore if models are capable to improve themselves.
In the end, having a machine replacing the work of a human is a good thing - in most of the cases we don’t work because of the work but to make a living. If too many people can’t make a living anymore the system is going to change. For the better or the worse.
- GPerson 1mo agoI believe what happens in the aftermath of a capitalist-driven revolution is most people who were climbing the class hierarchy fall back down again and wealth inequality increases. Maybe things will improve in the future, but GP is rationally contending with the fact that most of us will lose out because of this and if we’re lucky our grandchildren will have easier lives in certain ways, but different lives than we would live.
- epestr 1mo ago> If too many people can’t make a living anymore the system is going to change. They seem to have not yet come to believe the "is" part.
- Chinjut 1mo agoI'd be happy to not work anymore with a strong welfare system redistributing society's gains to the leisured masses, but absolutely nothing I've seen of the direction of politics in any recent years gives me hope for this kind of situation coming about.

- threethirtytwo 1mo agoNo it is good for humanity, but not necessarily good for individuals who built technical foundational skills on things that will be taken over by automation. AI as it is now and as it will be projected into the future WILL automate many skills. But not all skills. MANY MANY people will retain skills that cannot be replaced by AI. One career track that will be replaced is definetely the SWE. Or at least massively reduced in capacity if not eliminated all together.
- Miner49er 1mo agoI'm not sure this adds up. If SWEs can be replaced, what jobs are safe?
- threethirtytwo 29d agoPlumber, server. There are a huge amount of these jobs.
- Miner49er 27d agoFor like 3 years until we have humanoid robots.
- threethirtytwo 23d agoNah battery power and meat based hardware will stay intrinsically ahead indefinitely. That being said metal based robots can replace many human jobs (like server) but something like a plumber or construction worker is extremely hard to do.
- reeredfdfdf 1mo agoWhen AI can replace most SWEs, it can cost-effectively build systems that can replace most other white-collar workers as well. It's mainly skills involving physical work that cannot be replaced without major advances in robotics. Anything done with a computer in a office will be gone if SWE is gone.
