AI will be the death of capitalism. Once there’s not enough jobs for people to work things will need to change. Even people on the right, that I’ve talked too, indirectly admit some form of socialism would need implemented if AI companies run the world.

If a company is making enough profit to take majority of the jobs, that company will need to support majority of the people. We can’t all just die poor and hungry cause a company is profitable

There are always going to be roles that will be easier to fill with a man than a machine

Bold of you to assume that the powder grid could actually handle millions to billions of AI worker bots. It’s already pushing limits of what is sustainable energy wise and this is just the beginning

and there will also be roles that due to the nature of their work will be filled with men regardless of if machines are more capable because you cannot hold a machine accountable for their actions

I think AI will surely change the nature of how we work but it won't end it entirely

Either the bubble breaks and shit falls apart or it takes over and shit falls apart. For it to take over either careers will start implement coding and programming on their own or Computer scientists/engineers will run everything. It’ll be CompSci with specialties in Business/Communication/advertising and so on. Idk why general business and communications majors think excel spreadsheet work will be needed when AI is a thing

But the people who work with AI are not the people in today’s workforce. As AI is more implemented it’s more reliant on computer scientists and coders than people in the field itself. A computer scientist specialized in advertising will outcompete any general advertising major in the workforce. Majority of careers will be taken by a small fraction of people, and I don’t see Americans as education hungry enough to compete with gifted programmers.

In my field(neuroscience) it’s already heavily dominated by computer scientists for neural coding and modeling. I need to work twice as hard to compete with someone who’s already specialized in that field. My general knowledge of the field doesn’t generalize to their applied knowledge of coding and whatnot

It's not like AI doesn't require any raw materials. We need microchips, scaled up power grids, more powerful cooling tech, etc. It has the potential to boost the entire tech and materials sector from low end shit like engineering circuit boards for tech or steel manufacturing for materials to really high end shit like quantum computing for tech or sputtering tech for materials.

Sure maybe some day we will have those entire supply lines and production lines automated by an AI but we are a long way away from that

But AI can’t do physical things in your field. AI can’t do mice research or any model organism research. There’s physical labor involved in almost every field that can’t just be computerized

Yea but Taiwan makes majority of microchips and an even more significant amount of the advanced microchips(up to 90%). The one thing I’ll agree with Elon Musk on is that America doesn’t value “nerds” as much as other countries. We are not the intellectual superpower of the world. America is a business and business is what’s being replaced by AI. Most Americans aren’t itching to be A+ Ivy League students. Majority of Americans barely understand what a Bit of information is let along how AI works

Taiwan does make the majority of microchips but they are still reliant on the US for materials technologies involved in the manufacturing process for microchips (namely sputtering/thin film deposition tech)

You can’t expect every career and field to adapt to AI and and the modern age, they’re going to be replaced by younger foreigners if we wanna advance that way

Honestly, nobody knows wtf is gonna happen with AI. But I’m making sure I try to stay behind the curtain of how it works and recent breakthroughs cause no way in hell a general business major or someone with general field knowledge will compete with an experienced coder gunning for their job.

They’re going to figure out a way. They’re already raising residential electricity prices in order to expand the grid to support more datacenters. They’re restarting nuclear power plants that were decommissioned. There’s a ton of money behind this

I assume you’re talking about from a liability standpoint? I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a legal framework for that at some point. With Waymo they already have traffic tickets billed to Google (although it’s a slap on the wrist compared to giving an ordinary driver the same fine). More progress needs to be made in that area
