There will always be jobs for innovators and entrepreneurs.
Find a need and fill it.
Create your own job.
Don’t go with the flow, direct it...............
In other words, there is still an awful lot of human thinking and creativity that is required before AI can do anything.
The jobs that are being eliminated are those that are rote and don't require thinking. In fact, as some folks have said, AI doesn't eliminate jobs, per se, it eliminates tasks (i.e., components of jobs). Productive people become even more productive and less productive people get fired.
This is not a bad thing.
Exactly. The cutting edge is all about disruption. And those who develop disruptive technologies today are themselves subject to disruption tomorrow.
You are absolutely right. One cannot hope to control any process with computers unless one had a thorough understanding of the the process. Some geek in an office has no understanding of how an aircraft flies or a power plant works. And enough of this AI nonsense. There is no such thing. There in fact seems to be a distinct lack of actual intelligence. There are incredibly capable algorithms and machines but they are not intelligent. They don’t reason. An idiot savant is not a polymath.
It will be the third, but with an iron fist in charge. There are many jobs to do AI cannot do, especially those in which so little is known also involving dirt, rugged terrain, and remote from a power source also requiring intense visual and tactile capabilities. I have identified and am promoting such an industry that will also give humans significant leverage in an environment of liberty.
There is a lot of work to be done there.
And, lawyers, too!!!
Exactly!!
Sorry for the typo
The old joke seems to be coming true:
The factory of the future will have just two beings in it: A man and a dog.
The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the machines.
The man will be there to feed the dog...............
Don’t worry folks. “Conservative” Mumbai Mike and Vance will bring in millions of non-Christian 3rd world Indians to take the rest of the IT jobs from Americans. Just be happy that the corporations can save money by driving down labor costs and shut your mouth, ok?
p
market is tanking..
I am glad there are a few people such as yourself who understand software creation.

GOOD! Maybe they’ll stop screwing around with computer systems all the time and go back to making dancing paperclips. Leave the rest alone.
This is a lie that Big Tech or tech journalists are telling. Blaming job losses on AI is catchy and gets more clicks. AI may have a role in it but it’s nowhere near the main reason for the layoffs. Big Tech is simply deprioritizing entire divisions that don’t add to the company’s bottom line and getting rid of them. When times were good those were overlooked. Not any more.

There are a few things that inform me that AI will have somewhat limited application in the software world.
1) To design a system the size that I currently work on, you would need to write a specification the size of “War and Peace”.
2) You still need an advanced developer to ‘proof’ the code that AI produces.
Please elaborate via Freepmail and let us see if I can add value.
