[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The idea that AI will lead to a plethora of new jobs is laughable. [/b]Knowledge based white collar work is on its way out. The most common jobs for the next generation will be soldier and sex worker. [/quote]

It is definitely possible. The average American works in some way from the moment they get up until they go to bed. There is a lot of room for improved efficiency.

Improving efficiency can allow us to spend the time on other things. This is what happened when the computer went mainstream. What someone used to be able to accomplish in DAYS became possibly in hours due to internet communications. Many of the jobs out there today are possible because of the internet.

You simply don’t know that AI won’t create more jobs or create new industries. [/quote]

or even go back to the concept that people work 8 hours, sleep 8 hours and have 8 hours to commute, parent, cook, clean, worship and have a hobby, socialize.  That idea was built on scientific consensus and has been eroded completely and has caused huge spikes in health care costs (ppl can't cook or sleep efficiently causing them to become ill and we have to pay for therapies and pharmaceuticals to keep these unhealthy people alive and/or functioning) if we had functioning political leaders instead of geriatric zombies/neo feudalists  like we have now - we could actually go down to having 4 day work weeks of 8 hours and ppl could actually adjust to a lower level of luxury but they would have the leisure time to deal with it and many parents of young children would have fewer childcare expenses/burdens. basically society would have to be drastically restructured but civilization is due for another bug shake up - my grandparents (im in my 40s) were born in a colonial state during the First World War- they saw things that were luxuries :  indoor plumbing, electricity, flight, universal suffrage, universal childhood education/cessation of child labor, university educations and careers fro women, no fault divorce, etc etc become everyday and then lived to see iPhones!! why exactly do we think nothing will change so drastically in our own lifetimes???[/quote]
