What Is Going To Happen To Our Society As AI And Robots Take Most Of Our Jobs?

Our Northern Virginia Chapter is having a hide tanning and rope making workshop this weekend. Hope you can make it.

A big part of every ancient naval port was a rope making works, usually hundreds of feet long. I think the mom & pop rope-makers were against it.

Since the globalist agenda includes reducing Earth’s population to 500 millions in the next twenty years, nothing good. Such numbers can only be achieved through mass murder.

We’ve reached the point where there are simply not enough jobs for all the stupid people.

I work in the field of AI, machine learning, support vector machines. Things could get interesting.

“AI is just another scam by the left”

I had a chatGPT demonstration this past week with a former bigwig at MS and Google. I was asked to ask it some rather obscure questions, which I did. Every single answer was wrong.

There is no ‘thinking’ or creativity like natural intelligence. It simply compiles and collates existing ‘data’, much of which is wrong. Since there’s a very heavy left-wing/Marxist slant to much online topical data, the answers also come with that very same bias.

What happened in France in 1799? The elites seem to forget the concept of a “Social Contract”. Bad things happen when that Social Contract is broken...

We’ll all be considered “useless eaters”.

[Jonty30]

You become a useless eater.
This causes me concern, because the billionaires that want to reduce the human race are not foreseeing the time when the machines take over and decide to eliminate everybody.

If I didnt have to work 12 hrs a day, I’d go hunting!

If I wasn’t aware that they were going to cut off my oxygen when they replace, I’d probably go do something as well.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Big companies in the 70's had layer after layer of managers and supervisors who got paid to "know things". By the late 80's, computers had eliminated them all. I don't know where all those people went or what they did after that, but the company I worked for at the time went from a headcount of nearly 14,000 down to 8,000 in less than ten years - entirely due to automation.

During the same time, there were many spectacular and expensive IT project failures, and the company was no doubt disappointed to find out that they still needed 8,000 people to function. And that number stayed steady until well after I was gone.

AI will be disruptive, but it isn't going to replace everybody. This time, rather than middle-aged guys posing as file cabinets being on the bubble, it's going to be the half-baked marketing, creative, and HR types who get shown the door, as AI can do their jobs far more effectively in a fraction of the time. But human thinkers will still be needed.

[Jonty30]

Not everybody can be a thinker. Some people will not find jobs as thinkers and they won’t be allowed to be labourers. What do they do?

[Keyhopper]

These are the people that run the water,sewer,and electric grid. You sure don’t want to make them angry.
