It's crazy living a normal life knowing this is coming. And that nobody around you in your daily life is aware it's coming.

Problem is not AI taking jobs. Problem is people need money to stay alive

[zcuveje]

Told my gf I'm not 'unemployed', I'm just 5 years ahead of the trend 😀

A flaw often seen in the “AI will never empathize as a human” argument is that is assuming or simplifying to “humans always empathize” and is not true. A human can easily give 0 fks about other human problems, and a human most likely not align 100% to other humans goals.

When you realize it's the endgame of the simulation and you stop everything to meditate.

I'm still skeptical as to how the economy will work when nobody is working. Whats the incentive to pay us to just be? The AI only benefits the corporations who will monopolize it and they dont give a damn about us.

Everyone realizes that even plumbers are at risk, right? Even if only 25% of jobs are lost, then that 25% will flood into unaffected careers/fields, catastrophically driving down labor cost there also. (And regardless, that’s just kicking the can down the road… robots are coming for *all* jobs eventually.)

Stop misinforming people. This person is not a top AI researcher. This person is a writer and a "researcher" in political philosophy. Please correct it, it’s annoying.

I do not think unemployment causes people to have mental issues, poorer health, or makes them sadder, sicker and more anxious at all.

Not having money, the fear of all that entails - like losing your home because you can't afford rent, not being able to afford to eat, being threatened with having water, gas, electricity and phone cut off, not being able to afford to keep clean without water and heating. Not being able to afford clothes or travel to get to places. Being pressured by government agencies to find jobs that are not there.

Poverty is what causes people to get sick and mentally break down.

That shame aspect is brainwashed into children at school. Training them to be little productive economic units instead of promoting real life-long learning to help them become well rounded, critical thinking, smart humans

Are we just going to ignore how much energy these AI systems need?
This technology is surely going to be limited by its energy consumption

[calvingrondahl]

Star Trek future, you are not your wealth you are your integrity.

The real issue is the people don't own the AI infrastructure, AWS, Google, Microsoft, as such do. If you are replaced by AI, this really means the cloud providers replaced you . Why would they give it away for the betterment of society.

Having worked with Palantir data modeling / data enrichment / developing data ontology workflows for data ingestion (big structured and unstructured data sets) I will state again what a developer from Palo Alto told me in 2011/2012

“Be careful of data streams you allow Palantir access to to model from and rip down to a VERY granular form - Pandoras Box will forever be open”

I read it when it was 1st published. It was well written, She's competent, accomplished, and intelligent, no doubt, but she is very young and is viewing the world in the kind of way that some young people in high positions often do, she thinks she has got it all figured out.

The thing about life, the longer you live it, you learn over time that it throws curve balls and the things you thought you knew, you actually never knew.

[flickwtchr]

I find it so damn predictable, that she, a wealthy person who no doubt has plenty of shares in companies being invested in that are part of this AI revolution, that she finds it convenient to just assume that a UBI will be distributed, thus choosing to just ponder "meaning of life" questions about having so much time on her hands for yoga, hiking, reading, dodging homeless people, etc.

The predominant economic philosophy of AI revolutionaries especially in the large corporations and startups (open source advocates or not) is a combination of libertarianism and neoliberalism, thus the chances that they will be distributing themselves from their profits a sufficient UBI, or that they will lobby Congress in the US for the passage of a UBI where they are taxed to pay for it, is almost zero.

If some UBI indeed is somehow implemented, the chances that it will be sufficient (whether you are in a large city or rural town) to pay for housing, food, healthcare, dental care, utilities, transportation, etc etc etc is also almost zero.

The existing safety net in the US will of course loose funding because fewer people will be paying taxes on wages, so Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, all of it will collapse.

Those of you who think that would be a good thing? Well if you are in your 20s, 30s, 40s, and your parents aren't wealthy enough to already have a solid retirement where they don't need those benefits to stay independent in their late 60s, 70s, and 80s, well you better start making plans to provide them with housing, healthcare, food, etc etc etc. ( in other words, their needs will be taxing your income at a much higher amount than whatever you would have paid into the system)

You think the homeless problem in the US is bad now? Check back in a few years. Think it can't happen to you because you pay for some AI preparedness course? Uh, okay, sure become a prompt engineer! Oh, wait, AI systems will be writing the best prompts, never mind. I'll become an AI entrepreneur!! Oh wait, the large AI corporations came out with another model that destroys the business model where we were the needed service provider. It will be a very long list of disappearing opportunity.

But hey, if you have a very large bank account, it might take a few years for it to affect you, or you might end up being in the top 1% looking down on everyone else dealing with some dystopian hell of societal breakdown. Then of course those at the top will utilize AI systems, robotic systems, mass surveillance (mostly already in place) to try to control the desperate masses. Authoritarianism will rise all across the globe, and especially in the US to counter that little problem.

Good luck to most people who are going to really need it.

I sorta went through the full range of emotions on this one. Being unemployed I identified with the dark beginnings of the article. Towards the end it was a little more inspiring. Being an android developer, I'm working on my own projects trying to keep motivation finding things to do.

[aaronhhill]

People are so shortsighted. Just because these models can't do these things now, does, in no way, mean that they will not do them in the future. Every new technology goes through a period of development. Did anyone think when the first silver nitrate film came out that it would lead to 4k IMAX movies? Did they scoff at the simple photographs and say, "Nothing will replace painters!" (Maybe some did, especially Luddites, but the majority marveled at the future possibilities!) I am reminded of some people who said computers were a fad. Foolish, thoughtless and shortsighted! AI is going to revolutionize the world! And in a MUCH shorter amount of time. There is no profession in the world that is safe from it. None. And personally, I'm here for it!

[pwagzzz]

Given corporations switch from investing in people for work to AI technology then they will destroy income, taxation, and consumer models. Is AI going to replace consumers to make up for the loss from people with no income? Will AI pick up the taxation loss to governments? There has always been an optimistic view that technology will free people with more liesure time. There is no social model that supports this. Corporations are driven by profits, not social equality.

Check your facts. The person behind the article has no tech background, so it not an AI expert in the technical sense. Her background is in philosophy. And she is Chief of Staff at Antrophic. Just because work at an AI company, that does not make you an AI expert right away. I read her articles. She is not educated to judge the advancement of AI on a technical level. If she would have enough technical knowledge, she would know that LLMs are basically just predicting the next word. No matter how much text and CPU you give, this fact will not change. And if you believe by simply predicting words, you are able to recreate reliable cognitive abilities, you are mistaken. The way she talks about hallucinations shows that she is not aware of how flawed AI still is. And not flawed due to the data or CPU, but due the fact of how LLMs work. Everything that is corrected know is through human guardrails.

The real problem is that we were sold the dream of never having to work because of automation. Automation is already here and as it moves forward it will begin (rather continue) to take jobs away from people. But the problem is that we can't live in a system where the jobs we used to do have been automated and capitlism is still the only economic system. Capitalism is all about who owns the means of production, the capital, the robots and the AI systems. Most of us won't own any of it. Which means we'd be displaced without some sort of universal basic income. But I can imagine lots of wealthy people continuing to influence the very people we elect to federal and state government not to pass laws in favor of universal income. Also, we're so used to living in a tier economical system that it's going to be so difficult to get out of thinking that way. To some extent it seems like the advent of AI and robotics will force us to live in a system akin to communism. I guess as long as someone figures out a way to have our basic needs met in a very humane way, then we can have lots of time to enjoy early retirement, even if you're in your 20s.
