Serious answers only. If AI will replace 300 Million jobs in the next decade.
What will these humans being do instead?
I get that new technology usually leads to huge economic growth and increases standard of living of society. However, you still need to be entrepreneurial to pay the bills.
love to hear other wise elder plebs thoughts. Because honestly I have no idea how all this plays out.
Seems like you’ve been down the AI rabbit hole the past few weeks. Me neither. Honestly, “stack sats” is the most logical conclusion I came to
they’ll be dead, sir. plebs were only necessary to produce wealth for the elite, slaves since ever. elite doesnt need them no more. the ones who survive will end up controlled in exchange for a basic income conditioned to a social score, carbon credit score etc. future is no good.
You probably right. I hope not.
hope ain’t enough, unfortunately. people need to get ready as much as they can. at least, I guess *we* are on the right path.
I’ve written about it here. it’s in Portuguese, though, if you’re willing to read it translated by google…
I hate to say it but I would guess the rich get richer and poor get poorer. I would assume those w the abilities to use AI use it to increase wealth while taking away the jobs of less wealthy. Hopefully that’s to simplistic thinking and wrong.
Maybe drive up wages of blue collar workers?
AI will do the job as they say. And weaks become more weak, And the elites become more wealthy.
Solution: Stack sats
Build a land and house in the outskirts of the cities.
Go off the grid.
Cultivate and farm your food.
Enjoy the life.
Travel the world for knowing what's going on.
“Go off the grid” I would but is that even possible?
I dont think you can truly be off grid anymore. Or at least it’s incredibly difficult.
I think you underestimate the entrepreneurial spirit of humans. We will learn to use the new tools to our advantage und create many new needs and wants. In the end humans know best what they desire, I don't think the AIs will do that part soon.
True, maybe these opportunities just won’t be obvious til the time comes.
Don't fall for the luddite falacy, people usually don't sit down and do nothing untill they starve to death.
Also don't brake your brain trying to outsmart the market, there is a reason why billions of brains are better at finding solutions one cannot think of.
IMO people findes outstanding and elegant solutions to this sort of problems, not withaut a fair share of pain in the process but still.
Also living will be cheaper (withaut accounting for cantillion effect and the fiat parasites leeching our wealth away) and that will also help.
I appreciate this answer. Thanks.
It’s always the same. New stuff comes up. We have endless supply of new needs that need to be satisfied. The forms and means just change.
It’s not possible to say how it plays out because it’s dependent on our choices in the future. But looking back in history reveals how it works and how “laugable” the arguments and concerns were about the end of work etc.
Fair argument. Hope you are correct.
Have you read Price of Tomorrow? I’ve read a lot of summaries but just started the book. Seems the book focuses on answering your question.
This is a great episode on AI and intelligence and how at least Jeff thinks this plays out.
Thank you. Will definitely add to my podcast queue.
The same was said when we invented the combustion engine, the internet, the printing press etc.
We as human figure out something else to do.
The real problem comes when energy becomes free.
True, especially if man was built to labor. There’s something special about working hard in a society for its greater good
