It’s funny. Technology was supposed to free humans to pursue higher pursuits like humanities, arts, and research. Now it turns out that AI is taking those roles, and relegating humans to manual labor. And CEO’s call this progress.

Well it’s just the beginning. Eventually UBI will be figured out and who knows what comes next, maybe all the best minds will flock to gender studies.
However I think most people will spend their days at cheap amusement parks or online

UBI won't be "figured out." Musk loves to wax on about the coming age of technology prosperity and most people won't need to work. But you saw his attitude toward non-billionaires when he was at DOGE. He only had scorn for people on social security and retirement pensions and welfare and--heaven forbid!--a decent-paying government job. If he doesn't think actual workers should make a middle class salary, do you think he envisions UBI as more than subsistence?

Musk, of course, is not the decider of the future. But he is representative of billionaires and how the world looks when you think you own it.

Anything black and white, with clear right and wrong, can be more easily replaced by AI and robotics. This includes many STEM fields but also trades, maybe with the exception of highly artistic trades (maybe some unique woodworking, for example). It will be the fields that are more nuanced, that make full use of our humanity, that can survive. And humanities is the study of what makes us human. How can AI do that, when it is not human? So yes, i still tend to see it as innovation will free us from grinding daily labor to focus on artistic, "high" pursuits. Not that I think this is a great world because not everyone is capable of high pursuits and most humans who have ever lived have made a living based off grinding work, but I just think this scenario is more likely than the one with humans doing trades.

I think what he is saying is that white collar office work is going to go the way of the dinosaur. The vast majority of jobs in the US are service/white collar jobs that people with college degrees do. They are under significant threat due to AI automation. The only jobs left will be those requiring human labor, like the trades etc. Even fields like medicine, law, pharmacy,.....education focused professions are all going to be automated away.

And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. “And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society. And to make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we’re going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.”

These poeple are lunatics.

There is a certain hierarchy, but referring to people that learn and teach things about humanity as “loons” certainly tells us a lot about you.

DP. “Loon” might be an unnecessary dig, but I agree those humanities people are in trouble. The thing is, the money that ever gave those people well paying jobs in the first place was artificial, and it now it is gone.
There is someone I know, unemployed for a year, who I was trying to help with a referral. I saw her LinkedIn and literally the first thing on there was the “she/her” pronouns and then all the other woke stuff. This is a middle aged NoVA white woman. I want to tell her, take those out, it’s not 2022 anymore. You need to focus on your transferable skills and frame yourself differently.

I majored in something even more worthless on the job market than humanities, which now I think was better than humanities because I was forced to pivot and gain skills early on and I’m doing really well now.

I am the loons PP. yes that’s what I mean. When real life hits you on the head there’s no place for fluff and these people will find it out soon enough.
Don’t people see the trend? Rn all the “refugees” who would be a burden on the benefit system if UBI was instituted are being pushed out. Next will be the people taken off Medicaid and food stamps for not working, i e homeless and with “invisible disabilities” aka those who can’t hold a job but aren’t officially disabled. This is done to reduce the base of future UBI recipients.

Is this what MAGA is telling themselves? You think the wealthy parasite class is just making space and *then* suddenly they'll institute UBI and care for the needs of the masses? 🤣🤣🤣

You're a moron.

Covid lockdowns showed us firsthand.
