Then they aren't paying attention. AI powered robotics will come for the trades as well.

Only after they’ve already replaced surgeons, medical workers, all engineers and tech professionals, and anyone still left in the legal field with the possible exception of actual courtroom litigators.

AI is going to absolutely massacre white collar jobs.

They've got robotics now. Some surgeries are already done with robotics. I think I saw something about one surgery conducted remotely, if I remember correctly.

Coming to a kiosk near you: Robotics mixing and serving up your specialty coffee drinks.

Please read what you wrote.

A surgery that's conducted remotely is conducted by a HUMAN BEING, ie a surgeon. This has been happening for years. That's not AI. That's a human being using technology to operate on someone using a machine. But the decisions are made by the surgeon, not the machine. And the movements of the machine are controlled by the surgeon.

A robot might be able to perform an appendectomy a hundred years from now, maybe. But it's going to need human assistance, even then.

Just not the entry level jobs that will leave graduating students unemployed.

They should be. 100 million less jobs means a hell of a lot more competition for the jobs that still exist, lower wages and benefits because of increased competition, and we will all suffer in a society with a lot more angry and desperate people.

+1 if no one else has a job, who’s going to pay for their services?

Exactly. It's terrifying how little people understand abiut how society works and how tied together our fates really are. You don't eliminate the livelihood of millions of people, and the society as a whole doesn't feel it.

I expect the tech bros will find a way to ensure their services are never, ever impacted. Don't want to pay for their services? Then don't eat.

At that point we are looking at a repeat of the French Revolution, what's there to lose?

Exactly.
The tech bros are living in a fantasy world. They think life is a video game and they are winning.

I don't know what planet you're living on, Peter, but this is not going to happen, at least not in this century and probably not in the next.

Please, tell me, do you own a robot that will wash your car? That will unload and put away your dishes? That will dust your furniture? That will fold your laundry?

You don't? Why not? Can't you pay the $1B+ it will cost (right now) to produce such a robot, if such a robot can be produced using current technology (guess what, it can't).

I'm not saying such robots can't be built. They can, and likely will be built. But not now, not mass produced, not cheap enough for anyone, aside from tech billionaires, to afford.

A robot performing heart surgery? In your dreams. It may happen in some very distant future, but that's several lifetimes from now, at minimum.

Most white collar jobs are safe, for now. What the future holds, I don't know. And neither do you.

This is my big worry.
The AI bubble is holding the stock market together.
But the government is not regulating AI. It's a bunch of private companies competing with each other. And the government's role is to pour money into these environmental disaster data centers, which are driving up electricity prices around the country.
What's going to happen? There will be too many data centers, and some will go bust because right now they are just spending government (taxpayer's) money and returning no profits to their companies.
But AI was supposed to benefit the world, not be simply a mechanism for the rich to get richer, as it is right now under the Trump administration.
I fear that when the AI bubble bursts, the stock market will crash, putting us into the worst depression since the Great Depression in the 1930s. Millions of people will be jobless in that case, and there will be much suffering without government intervention.
If the Democrats are in power then, there will be aid for the suffering.
If the GOP is still in power, then there will be nothing--no food assistance, no healthcare, no housing assistance, no daycare, no support for education. Millions of American will suffer and many will die.
That will be the legacy of the GOP, and no one, right now, is stopping it.

There is absolutely 0 indication that businesses are able to extract tangible value from AI at all and are losing money to make it happen. I find it funny that GS was cited above when they also recently came out and said something along the lines of 'we dont know how to sell AI when it has no value'.

Goldman Sachs warns U.S. power grid nearing collapse as AI and EVs overwhelm aging infrastructure
By Cassie B. // Jun 06, 2025

https://www.newstarget.com/2025-06-06-power-grid-nearing-collapse-ai-evs.html

- The U.S. power grid is nearing collapse as AI data centers, EVs, and electrification drive demand beyond reliable generation capacity.

- Goldman Sachs warns spare capacity will drop to 14% by 2027, risking rolling blackouts in key regions like PJM and MISO.

- Renewables fail during peak demand, leaving grids vulnerable—Texas nearly collapsed in 2021 due to frozen wind turbines.

- Households and businesses in high-risk areas should prepare for outages with backup generators as blackout threats grow.

- Decades of underinvestment and over-reliance on unreliable green energy have pushed the grid to the brink of failure.

lol all bullsh#t. These all pushing a political agenda. Goldman Sachs is worthless “analysis”, in Texas the freeze frozen all the gas plants while the wind and solar were fine and the other thing you list is just made up.

Try looking at actual industry publications. You will actually be informed unless you just want to continue to be an uninformed maga.

Gotcha. I guess you know better.

Check your ego.

Says who? All the doctors in my family, most of whom are surgeons, are very concerned about the rise in AI being used to diagnose patients, for instance. Entire teams of specialists can be rendered redundant as AI gets better at analyzing disparate symptoms to identify the body systems affected and likely underlying causes that can take human doctors years to diagnose. The encroachment on the medical field is already significant.

No. I appreciate you have family members who are doctors, but I am a doctor. AI isn't encroaching significantly onto healthcare. Sorry. Cite it, if you think you have other reasons besides anecdote.

OpenEvidence is helpful. There are places in radiology and pathology reporting where a first pass with AI is sometimes helpful. Where else?

That being said, I'm a doctor. Of course, if there is a better way to provide health care to people, I'm all for it. I'm sure we will get there eventually. Heck, if there were no illnesses, accidents, or aging, I'd be out of a job -- and that would be great. Putting me out of work would be a fantastic endgame.

Until then, I'm not going to lose my mind, soil myself, or whatever it is you think I should be doing at the prospect. Not going to change the outcome anyway.

I keep advocating for the AMA and state licensing authorities to make continuing medical education requirements at least as rigorous as continuing legal education requirements. The way doctors who aren't in hospital and research settings quickly lose track of new drugs, interventions, and advances is disturbing. Anyway, let me catch you up:

https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinics-ai-tool-identifies-9-dementia-types-including-alzheimers-with-one-scan/

PS: You should take a course in how research works. Seriously.

Economically, studies are just for the wealthy, the rest of us just have to figure it out what-ever way we can and can't share our results. It's like a rule, poor people can't do science or say anything about scientific results. I just hope I only get the same diseases the rich get, and they don't need to guinea pigs for their nasty drugs.

Do you think that poor people are by definition uneducated?

No, just that it takes so much money to prove anything in the medical field that it excludes poor people (however smart they may be).

There I hope that's clear now.

Not really. Why would that prevent you from "saying anything about scientific results," if you had the knowledge to comment with some facility in the field?

The astonishing part here is you believe click bait.

Also, legal CLE is a joke and useless. Anybody that has to deal with that BS every couple of years will tell you that. Last I checked, it’s still not ethical to steal shit from clients and lie. Otherwise, the rest of it is noise and a way for people to try to credential themselves by lecturing. So dumb
