AI is all good until your Baldwin County Orange Beach condo Rocket Mortgage property taxes aren’t paid and it’s put on auction without you knowing.

This is the concept I cant understand how they dont grasp.
Building large factories or data farms yeah but who will have money to pay to get a remodel done on their home if Ai took their job? Where is the money to support all of these hands on jobs?

I work for a fortune 500 company, about a year or so ago, they roled out a an advanced version of Copilote. Over all it was very underwhelming, especially when trying to use for technical work. Two weeks ago a new AI program was roled out that is light-years more advanced, scary how advanced. If the next role out will have the same amount of advancement as this one did compare to Copilote, it will easily replace 50% of the company if not closer to 75%.
That's what I'm hearing from people in a few different fields that are in senior positions at the end of their career. This will be exponential, not gradual, and we're all just along for the ride.

Can you even imagine how much more productive we will become, how well we will feel mentally, physically, and spiritually? We will no longer be confined to the desk, munching cheetos, fritos, or doritos.
I can't wait to get pushed out of my desk job as an SAP consultant to have to go work in some sweatshop factory because by the time AI gets to what I do that's just about all that'll be left.
Imagine all the exercise I'll get. It'll be great, they said!

You have five years to become rich or settle for the basic income. Nobody is immune. Robots can do surgery, build houses, run a refinery, etc... all without the mental mistakes by 80% of the human population.

The bugger story is Companies have stopped hiring for about 3 years now while AI investment grows
Young people are graduating and going to jobs that aren't enough to buy a home. The jobs that survive won't pay enough. Less families and marriages. Less consumer spending as the middle and upper class lose their office jobs and cant find another

I hate when the computer takes your order at a Fast food joint. I know it doesn't come with an attitude. It just has a hard time understanding exactly what you are asking for. I prefer just ordering on an app ahead of time

AI/robotics will be able to do repetitive jobs very well. Even your surgeons will eventually push a "self-driving" button to dissect straight down to a tumor/mass. Sure, you'll still want a "co-pilot" in the room with the patient, but THAT person could be any moderately skilled troubleshooter. The "surgeon" will be sitting in a room in Dubai or something operating on a dozen people at the same time
This is already happening with some models of da vinci robots

I have built many houses with an item punch list counted on one hand. I find it hard to believe humans will become nothing but observers.

This is what I keep thinking because if for no other reason than people will get very bored at some point. Then I also think that there will be huge segments of the population willing to just sit on their device and collect UBI all day.

I’ve always believed that some of the most advanced and wealthy industries will be the most vulnerable-
Law, medicine, insurance, finance, tech… all require analysis of data to produce an outcome. AI already does some of this better than humans and is advancing.
Actual physical application is where the crossroad lies. Moving objects, building structure, electricians, plumbing… Will all require some form of robotic and that will take longer to marry with digital AI but is and will continue to happen. It’ll just take longer.

Elon knows. We have a lot of folks on here with their heads in the sand regarding AI, Automation, and advanced robotics. AI is going to decimate every advanced field be it Legal, Medical, IT, Finance/Accounting etc. Instead of an IT depot or Legal department needing 5 to 10 people they will need one or maybe two live bodies. Now, multiply that across the whole country for Fortune 500 companies. Its going to be brutal.

Agreed, there will be new jobs in the future, who knows what they will be.
One of the biggest differences though is that the rarity of said jobs and their exorbitant pay will disappear.
Lawyers and doctors may wind up being 4 year degree people making near average levels of money.
Or more specifically, most jobs in

Though I imagine someone will still own such business.

I know most on this board aren't a fan of him, but Andrew Yang has been raising the alarm on this for close to a decade.
Companies will not hold on to people over profits.
Educated workforce will be laid off with no where to go.
Companies that laid people off will find they don't have customers that can afford their services anymore.
The middle class revolts.

Mid-career office workers will be fired in droves. Right now, there are about 70 million white-collar workers in the United States. Expect that number to be reduced substantially, by 20 – 50% in the next several years. Even a reduction of several million would be tectonic, and I fully expect it to go well beyond that level. Major firms are firing people right now. I spoke to the CEO of a publicly traded tech company. He said, “We’re firing 15% of workers right now. We’ll probably do another 20% 2 years from now. And then another 20% 2 years later. After that, who knows?”
quote:
Personal bankruptcies will surge. Americans are in general already on unsteady ground financially, but that’s going to get much much worse. Millions of Americans of every walk of life are about to see their way of life threatened. If you lose your job, you typically can get by for a little while on savings, but then it gets rocky pretty quickly.
Even if you’re not an office worker, you may be affected. Let’s say you’re a drycleaner or a dog walker or a hairstylist. If people in your community stop going to the office, your business is going to suffer because there are fewer business shirts to launder, people will walk their dogs themselves and cut back on trips to the salon, etc.
People and families are going to be left behind in large numbers.
Of course, where financial ills and stresses increase, social ills follow in terms of broken relationships, addictive behavior and despair.
I’m sorry I don’t have better news here. But it’s going to get very rough out there for a lot of people. Make a plan. Be adaptable.
quote:
Pessimism and anger will rise up. I saw a note on social media that said, “Do you really think politicians will let millions lose their jobs? They’ll ban AI first.”
Has this person been paying attention? Go talk to the manufacturing workers or the journalists and see how it worked out. Hundreds of billions of dollars have not been spent on this technology for corporate juggernauts to stop now, and most officials have been cheerleading what they see as progress. The genie is out of the bottle.
But yes, people are going to be pissed.
The social contract of ‘study hard, go to school, get a good job, live a decent life’ is about to be vaporized to smithereens. Upward mobility for most will be a thing of the past.
People are not going to take it well. Particularly educated people who think that they deserve better. That’s an ingredient for revolt.
There’s been a lot of talk this past year about how young people are lurching to the left, the growing popularity of socialism in the Democratic Party, and Zohran Mamdani as emblematic of the next wave of leader.
Imagine what people are going to think when we all feel like serfs to AI overlords that have soaked up the white-collar work?
Everything that has preceded this will be tame compared to what’s coming in terms of anger, despair and unrest. It won’t be very clear or organized, but people increasingly will feel like they have less to lose.
I argued in The War on Normal People that capitalism has done a lot to bring people out of poverty, but capitalism plus AI will be no one’s idea of a desired result, and that we have to advance the economy to revolve around people.

AI is such a big unknown I don't know if anybody truly KNOWS what's going to happen, but so far the most obvious rule of thumb looks to be true: if your work can be done on a keyboard, you should be concerned.
A good friend of mine is an investment banker, doing very well for himself and nearing retirement. His grind years were all analysis, using financial tools to curate and collate to figure out the right path. He's been using AI for various tasks now for some time now and was always amazed.
At the suggest of another friend of ours that's in the AI world he fed in his job description. Not "find me all the companies with X P/E ratio", which is how he'd been using it, it was more "this is what I'm expected to accomplish in my position". He said no question it can do damn near all of his job outside of certain communications with his clients. And when AI is doing all the heavy lifting you don't need NEARLY as many people to schmooze customers.
He now expects to retire in a couple of years if not sooner because he knows what the banking industry will do to save a buck.
