[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread is so dumb. Posters like myself have been warning everyone that we need to curtail AI for years now because it will end up rendering a large percentage of employees obsolete. This is just the beginning. Andrew Yang was warning about this but he was too smart for the middlebrow masses. Now the chickens are coming home to roost.

Microsoft is about to lay off 9,000 employees. It’s not because business is bad. Their stock is almost $500/share now and they’re one of the richest companies in the world. They’re laying people off because of AI.

Most people on this board are going to be laid off and need UBI in less than 10 years. The Dems aren’t going to save you. Trump isn’t going to save you. It’s over.[/quote]

They're laying people off because of greed.

Companies have been laying off and using AI to replace them in the past couple years, and already are hiring and moving back to people because AI doesn't work.[/quote]

Your view of AI is naive. It's rapidly improving (measured in months, not years). If companies are rehiring, it's because they're still calibrating around the current state of AI (which will be many times better in just a year). AI, plus the rapid pace of robotic innovation, spells doom for the job market. And technology cannot be held back. If the US tried to put the brakes on it, China and others would continue accelerating. Neither party has a solution for what's coming but, of the two, we know that the Republicans will do everything in their power to make sure people suffer. [/quote]

Republicans would absolutely love to bring back slavery. They’re dying to pace around with whips. [/quote]

Dumb, hyperbolic post like this are not helpful. Both parties are responsible for allowing AI to proliferate and not negotiate nonproliferation treaties with countries like China in the past 5-10 years. Now half the population is going to be out of a job, a college degree and those student loans are going to be meaningless, and we’re going to have to pay for UBI so all these people without jobs don’t riot in the streets.

Also, AI taking all these jobs means it makes absolutely no sense to let more people in the country because they will inevitably have to receive UBI as well and will just be another mouth to feed.

It is going to get real ugly real quick. The Microsoft mass layoffs are just the start. Your company’s not far off. So is mine. Buy acres of land in a place far north that won’t be affected so much by climate change, preferably with room for your kids who will have scant job prospects, especially if they have college degrees. Learn to hunt, fish, and farm. It is going to get real bad real fast. I would love to be wrong but rationally this is where AI is taking us.[/quote]
