The upheaval will become much worse not too far in the near future. Musk and others in the AI industry say that a living wage will need to be provided by government, for all those displaced from work because of automation. And that income from robots will need to be taxed in order to provide for displaced workers.
I'm just an observer of the trends. We have no say. It is what it is. I'm an old retired guy and remember the good old days. My grandkids will have to deal with what is happening due to AI and robotics. As for Musk, his Tesla company is building a Terafab site where Optimus robots will build chips for newer robots, while Tesla is using Optimus robots to build more robots. He realized years ago that he can't go 100 percent robotic, but he sure could reduce the number of humans working in his plants. This trend is accelerating in other companies. AI is the future, and the genie is out of the bottle.
I don’t think AI is going to handle Black Swan events very well nor God at all. Work is good for people. A lot of people are going to get hurt.
Me, too. Trump and I are Geminis soon to be 80.
Here's an idea: With millions quickly out of work permanently due to high tech and AI that benefits a dozen or so trillionaires, have us retirees pay for socialist universal income for the ones out of work. /S
Don't you think it will soon dawn on the government guys that we retirees can be taxed to pay for the illegals, welfare hogs and now the displaced masses? You can't tax AI to pay for it all.
