Here is the video - the comment is at the 29:05 mark.

How about compensating the people with these “creative jobs” for the intellectual property you STOLE to train your GenAI, Mira?

Marx and Engels already explained the end-game in their Manifesto:

The distinguishing feature of Communism is not the abolition of property generally, but the abolition of bourgeois property. But modern bourgeois private property is the final and most complete expression of the system of producing and appropriating products, that is based on class antagonisms, on the exploitation of the many by the few.

In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.

An engineer explains the importance and nature of "creative" jobs.

That's like an accountant explaining the value of modern art.

After listening to her and the Microsoft chief technologist, it's clear to me they have no clue what AI can or cannot do. The comments about it's a "smart as a PhD" are just silly - what does that even mean?

They have become enamored with sound bytes and press releases rather than the technology and moral/ethical use of AI.

I think the frantic push for AI is significantly driven by demographics. They know that increasing numbers of people will just not have the intellectual skills to sustain modern society.

"Some creative jobs maybe will go away, but maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place."

"Shouldn't have been there in the first place" is a wild overstatement. We can find better, more efficient ways to do many things. That doesn't mean the underlying functions shouldn't have been there in the first place. Quite the contrary, if we're automating those functions, they're not going away; they're just being integrated into the production model in a different way.

Which may displace a lot of people who have performed those functions in the old way, but the functions are still there.

"Shouldn't have been there in the first place" is an engineer saying that because a computer or AI system can do advanced mathematics, Sir Isaac Newton wasn't needed in the first place.

"The first part of anything that you're trying to do, whether it's um creating new designs, whether it's coding, uh or writing an essay or um, you know, um concepts in topology, you can just learn about these things and interact with them in a much more intuitive way, and that expands your learning."

So we learn VP Harris moonlighting in AI.

“Some creative jobs maybe will go away, but maybe they shouldn’t have been there in the first place.”

Creative jobs huh? I would think anything rules based. Especially if the rules are written down.

Lawyers, they might have it tough. Anyone involved in taxation maybe. Coders, they’d be in for it too. Doctors - most of that is troubleshooting and the manuals are all written down.

I wish I was a plumber. AI ain’t going to get that. Well, except my customers were all lawyers and doctors. Damn.

Shouldn’t have been there in the first place? If they weren’t, what content would these LLMs have to steal from?

Nancy Pelosi promised everybody could stay home and write bad poetry and still get a government income. If AI gets in the way of that dream then look out.

Anyone else find it interesting with all this technology a lot of people just want to watch YT videos of people doing stuff in outdoors..hiking ..camping..travel..all things that do not require technology.

The basics in life can not be improved upon all that much.
Maps and GPS are great but they are an aid.

This is not the first time in human history that “technology” eliminated jobs and it will not be the last.

I am in my 70s and I can think of dozen of jobs that no longer exist because of technology. Going back in history the list would almost endless. The final results (almost) remains the same, but the manpower need to create those results have gone down, which in turn made the final product both cheaper and more readily available.

My only advise for young people just starting out is to look for a career that would be difficult to automate (such as a trade, electrician, carpenter, mechanic and so on).

I can see a near future where most software development, for example, will consist of product managers composing user stories and feeding them to some AI software-creation tool. The end of software development as a high-paying job for people is on the horizon.

Jobs like plumber, electrician, construction are safe for now - humaniform robots capable of using the vast array of tools we've spent trillions creating for human hands will not be here for decades.
