I have a question anons? Once AI starts automating driving jobs, entry level white collar jobs, service industry and other economic sectors what will happen in your opinion? I know its a case of when and not if so what are your predictions?

They will invent new jobs that only exist to give people work but don't actually have any material objective. Same thing they always do when a new technology comes out.

Apple barely has any good AI plus we arent referring to everyday chat bots but many other AI agents. >>81682259
Why would they do that?

I'm not certain why, but I know they always do this when a job becomes obsolete. I guess they need to keep people in daycare so they don't have kids or something.

the libertarian ideal is that people will just expand the supply of jobs that AI cant' do, or can't do as well. So more personal trainers, more masseurs, more nurses, more dental hygienists, etc. This will suck for the people in those jobs already, but it'll be good for consumers, cause things will get very cheap. Like, people might treat the dental hygienist like a barber, and walk in for a cheep cleaning every month.

People will also create new jobs that we'd never though of existing. Bullshit idea, but gets the point across; imagine if it became normal to have a sand-artist come by every week to build a beautiful sandcastle in your front lawn; and this became as normal as having a landscaper come and cut your bushes.

the reality is that things won't go so smoothly. There will be a lot more NEETs. The government will probably have to create a lot of bullshit jobs, like putting a teacher's assistant in every classroom. They also might do cool stuff like building all sorts of monuments, just to employ people. Pyramids in the Mojave desert is an idea that i like. But before monuments, we should build more infrastructure and housing. We should also employ people to maintain and beautify the infrastructure that we already have.

We can also create artificial scarcity, by banning things. If you ban AI, the problem is that national competitors jump ahead of you in power. So you ban things like mass-produced shoes, in order to create a domestic cobbler industry (which will employ, who knows how many people).

The rich will live in bunkers and they will let the masses starve. And they don't need to worry about losing money because the profit margins will be healthy

i'm relatively optimistic about AI. If you're a NEET who isn't looking to get a job, things will only get cheaper due to automation, and your NEET life should get better. As more people get laid off, the stigma of being a NEET will decrease. If you're in a job that will get replaced by AI, you're a little fucked, especially in the short term.

I think the future is very fucked for other reasons (breakdown of global security and trade, demographic implosions, fiscal irresponsibility, environmental catastrophe, mass migration, etc). AI will help smooth out some of those problems, but it won't be strong enough to compensate for them completely.
