[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ever notice how when women are “behind” in something, it’s usually framed in a way that minimizes the amount of control that women have over their situation. But, when men fall behind, they are assumed fully responsible for their apparent misfortune.[/quote]

Actually, women ARE behind the times.  They don't realize 95% of college degrees are worthless toilet paper.  Men have moved on from worthless college degrees that saddle you with 20 years of debt to earn income by bypassing college altogether.  20.years from now the majority of people complaining about their $50k.in student loan debt for their deadend $15/hr job will be women.  Meanwhile, guys will have spent the entire time learning trades to repair the oncoming wave of the automation of everything. Then women will cry they there is 'underrepresentation' in the lucrative 21st century trades that require no debt to learn.

Useless college degrees are so 20th century. Have fun with the debt to become a Starbucks barista.[/quote]

What an ignorant hot take. Men are still going to college and still leaving with debt, the issue is most of the poor and middle class men are not graduating. So they have debt and no degree and just squander however many years pretending to be college students. These men aren't tech gurus or small business owners, they're living with their parents and failing to launch.[/quote]

Newsflash: artificial intelligence and automation will wipe out 90% of white collar jobs.  Even physicians and lawyers will be easily replaced in our lifetimes by machines. Those who will be poor in the future will be the idiots taking out 5 and 6 figure debt loads for a worthless peice of toilet paper to work a job that gets automated away. The winners will be the ones who learn trades to know how to repair drones, automated equipment for manufacturing and farming, and know trades to setup and service server farms. I'll laugh my ass at all of the worthless degrees in the future. But hey, maybe they will find solace in the fact that they're supposedly 'educated'.[/quote]
You think a surgeon's job can be automated away but a plumber's can't?[/quote]

Absolutely..

And it ain't just surgeons..

Input a bunch of symptoms and images and AI will make far better and more accurate diagnoses than most general practitioners and radiologists.  Machines to do surgery are way further along to do surgery than replace piping in a house.  AI will exceed a human physician because it'll be able to learn from basically all literature they has ever been published and will be published.  Most doctors can't even keep up with modern literature and new therapies. AI will not only make better diagnoses, it'll make better suggestions for treatments because it will know all human scientific knowledge from every journal article ever published.

Also, unlike plumbing jobs that are almost always site and building specific, human anatomy doesn't really change.  You can bring humans to a machine for surgery, but it is much harder to bring an automated industrial machine that could replace someone's piping in their house.

Dumb post by you. [/quote]

I have worked for years in the field of machine learning and this post is hogwash.[/quote]

+1  Machine learning has a LONG way to go.[/quote]
