[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The future impact of AI on jobs is still unknowable. The companies that went heavily into AI are generally retreating now. Because it doesn't work well. But with time, it will get better.

But once AI gets stronger, yes, it will be devastating all around. And societies are going to have to make some choices. A very efficient AI and 50 percent unemployment is going to lead to revolution and violence. Besides the Silicon Valley plutocrats, we are all in the same boat. And if our political leadership continues to suck - as it has for the past ten years with feeble 80 year olds running things - it's going to be a big problem.

I think in the meantime, college students should focus on the majors that really use their brains - from engineering to philosophy. AI can't replicate good thinking at the higher levels. And good thinking and good writing and good problem solving will continue to be valuable in an AI world.

And if it isn't, people will revolt. It's not coincidental that Musk, Zuckerberg, Thiel and the other Silicon Valley billionaires all have their bunkers. [/quote]

In my opinion, the post-AI world will become increasingly more competitive, so all the more reason to give your kids the best education possible. [/quote]
