“The family was destroyed…. most of our societal ills are a result of this.”

Lot of truth in that, but why have kids these days? For one thing, daddy might disappear or is it daddy’s income that’s the concern. For another, kids are huge expenses with less return than in the old days when the kids stayed around and helped.

Don’t have a family? No income? Lotta debt? Disease? Disability? Don’t worry, the Federal government will help. Just sit back.

No need to rely on family or community anymore.

Regarding AI, that’s just machines and machines can do more and more. It started with the wheel.

They will certainly take their “OnlyFans” jobs:

None of anything a machine could do, or an automate machine, needs AI to do it.

There remain many faux "management" jobs concerned with the juggling of lists and schedules and the optics of having a Person in Charge. Women are vastly overrepresented in these fake roles as a result of decades of pressure to meet diversity targets. AI could make many layers of bureaucracy go away - even the legendary "DMV Lady". It might undo decades of Leftist sabotage of our corporations and government offices - that's why they are worried.

we need to focus AI on eliminating HR jobs.

Corporate HR has destroyed society.

“the last 60 years shows how bad the Dems screwed up our society. “

No doubt. MASSIVELY sky-high taxes require two incomes and leave the kids to be raised by the state schools in many cases. Then the state owns the child.

Thanks to FDR and LBJ for their massive growth of the nanny state that destroyed the family and screwed up society. Then Clinton, Obama and the stinking Bastard Biden really put the pedal to the metal.

open borders and “free” trade have driven down wages and quality of life more than anything. Blame the left, yes, for sure, but don’t for get to blame the free traitors in the Republican party and the open border ‘muh labor shortage’ bought and paid for Republican traitors like G W MORON, Paul RYNO, Romney, etc.

“open borders and “free” trade have driven down wages and quality of life more than anything.”

No doubt they are major contributor, but I think the huge taxes required to create the Socialist Nanny State Cradle-to-Grave did a lot more damage. That damage pre-dated the offshoring of jobs by five or more decades.

But there is no doubt that BOTH are major contributors to our demise.

A mere algorithm, it can be fixed.

You can't stop an algorithm from hating.

I can't argue with that.

Jane Fonda did a movie about ai and robots replacing women ... and men.... in the oldest profession.

Can you compete with that?

I never believed the AI hype for a second

Between "Generative AI" models, and the multiple-orders-of-magnitude improvement Machine Learning (ML) chips are making every few years, the creative industries are going to take a hit.

Just off the top of my head:

I'm at a chip design conference (Hot Chips) this very second. The computational power of Machine Learning chips are increasing at a staggering rate.

The speedup of CPUs from generation to generation? Not much - 10-15%. The speedup of Machine Learning? 5-8X per generation.

I can’t imagine why that would be. After all, it is Artificial INTELLIGENCE, not Artificial Emotional Response.

Actually, scientists have said that AI has had trouble “thinking” like a women. There’s a mysterious kind of logic to the “feminine” that AI cannot replicate.

Seriesly.

Software engineers can make an algorithm produce any results they want. They just need to be smarter than the algorithm.

Looks like they are not up to the task.

Most AI programs using the "Large Language Model" go insane after lengthy operations, just as predicted by science fiction writers decades ago. See some stories by Larry Niven on this point.

Don't put them in control of machinery.

Those ones termed “the free traitors in the Republican party and the open border ‘muh labor shortage’ bought and paid for Republican traitors like G W MORON, Paul RYNO, Romney, etc.” are also on the left. Nobody thinks otherwise any more, and that’s a good thing.

Right. But they still don’t need AI—just a computer but not so-called sentient artificial intelligence. THAT doesn’t exist. There’s nothing intelligent about these types of jobs...

Ain’t that right? Just ask DOCTOR Jill Biden, lol!
