@MattWalshBlog Don't you think people said the same thing about the automobile?
I often feel insanely privileged that I got to be a kid in the 1980s and a young adult in the 1990s because I feel those were the golden age of modern civilization. Right now we’re just in a decline and I don’t see that decline ending any time soon. Don’t get me wrong I love AI and other modern tech but those days were the best. Not a freaking worry in the world.
You are either super bullish on AI or are expecting a large-scale recession in the US. These are the only two choices.
The o-series models are so fried they can barely speak. Every second word is a jargon reward hack.
No. AI is not at all like going from a carriage to a car. Both the carriage and the car needed a human to drive them. It’s just that with the car the human is going faster and farther. AI removes the human from the equation completely. That’s what people aren’t grasping. This technology is different in kind from anything else that has ever existed or ever been invented in the entire history of humanity. Prior to this, we invented better tools for humans to use. Now the tool has its own brain and doesn’t need humans at all.
People say that we shouldn’t worry about AI wiping out jobs. The jobs will just change, they say. But the whole point of AI is that it removes the human component entirely. The jobs aren’t going to change. They’ll just disappear. AI will make like 10 people into trillionaires. Almost everyone else will be screwed. Mass unemployment. Millions of workers rendered irrelevant all at once. That’s what’s going to happen. Not maybe. Not might. It’s going to happen. And it doesn’t seem like we’re doing anything at all to prepare for it.
People said the EXACT same things about industrialization in the 19th century and automation in the 20th. Weird how none of their luddite predictions and worries came to pass.
Nvidia, $NVDA, CEO Jensen Huang says AI will ‘probably’ bring 4-day work week
It's weird that we can all clearly see how AI is about to wipe out millions of jobs all at once, destroy every artistic field, make it impossible for us to discern reality from fiction, and destroy human civilization as we know it, and yet not one single thing is being done to stop it. We aren't putting up any fight whatsoever.
