AGI-Proof Jobs: Navigating the Impending Obsolescence of Human Labor in the Age of AGI

WRITING STUFF

[PirateOfTheWastes]

I agree, in my experience with mental health (bachelors in psychology and 15 years getting therapy)…an AI will be far superior than a human therapist in a LOT of aspects. Not all, but a LOT. And not even in direct ways, chatGPt has given me confidence in ways a lot of therapists couldn’t figure out, like, by helping me write my resume and cover letters I got over this impossible confidence hump and sort of masked and mirrored the “professional” language ChatGPT used that I wasn’t really capable of, it pointed out skills I had, qualities and stuff that a therapist COULD do but simply didn’t have the time to intensely work directly with me in the way I could interface with GPT.

I work in the funeral industry. I'm just saying. That's some pretty stable job security.

One thing we have to remember is, no matter what happens, even *if* you get an artificial general intelligence in a human-like replicated body, it cannot dream or experience out of body travel when entering deep meditation. The future of humanity is looking inward toward consciousness as much as it is outward toward space.

I have found my conversations with GPT4 to be far more insightful and helpful than any session I've ever had with a therapist.

Just as vinyl records saw a resurgence in the digital era human creativity is probably going to become more valuable. As AI-produced art grows more common, the authentic 'human touch' in creative work becomes rarer, and thus, more prized. It's not a rivalry but a dance between AI and human creativity, each with its unique, valuable place in the world of art. The future will value both, with human creativity becoming even more appreciated for its irreplaceable authenticity.

When food is 5 dollars per year, there will be premium nutrient paste that costs more but eases the itching of the cybernetic implants you mortgaged your sleeping pod for.

AGI: Why I'm I here?
Rick: You pass me butter.

Thanks! Can anyone share info on the self reflective journaling app David mentions, if you found it? Sounds cool. Is it a private tool i.e. not for sale? is it open source?

[patatepowa]

youre describing an era that will be very shortlived before we reach the age of human augmentation

[innerpull]

Seriously thanks for making all of this David. Between you, AI Explained, Ben's Bites, & Matt Wolfe alone, I feel actually equipped to engage/grapple with & respond to this new era we're thrusting into.

I’d love to see a video on advice for future parents. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the future of education. It seems like the traditional path of high school to college for a regular career won’t be present in the future if the job economy looks totally different.

Dave's uncanny ability to articulate all this content in its lowest common denominator instills a sense of well being that I haven't found elsewhere.

Lack of freedom and privacy is what I'm scared about. Imagine what companies and governments are going to do with this AI technology in their hands.

We here hope that any AI medical staff will not be programed by Big Pharma to use medicines when other modalities work as well or better and with fewer side effects.

I love how us tech nerds get to live out a scifi movie in our lifetime. hopefully its regulated and uplifts humanity! stay positive guys big change good or bad are coming quick.

The expectation that consumer demand can be sustained without an employed work force relies on implementing a Universal Basic Income (UBI). However, wealth is going to be created and concentrated in those who own and operate the robots. Political power will follow wealth and economic power. This creates a problem: UBI is necessary to sustain demand, but low incentive for government to install and pump up UBI because taxes will be shouldered by the wealthy producers.
Result: the bulk of humans will not be consumers of luxury items, which will be priced even higher to balance purchase capability of the massively wealthy (yachts, land, second homes, expensive health care). There will be fewer haves, and many more have nots.

Have you made a video about this reflective journaling you speak of? It’s a very interesting concept

[hooptychoo]

Goddamnit you know it's bad when the walle world looks pretty good

If people really understand heart math (go to heart math institute or listen to joe Dispenza), then anything related to the human experience is indeed staying with humans, things like mirror neurons, energetic connections and psychic experiences that are not of this 3rd dimensional field, but the “divine”…..those experiences are staying with humans for sure!

Kind of seems like we will simultaneously become very fascinated with robotic and holographic creatures and also become very sick of generative content after a while. For example, ai will give pretty much anyone to ability to produce music at a professional level, but I imagine people will also become increasingly reverent of live bands and people that can play instruments.
