I laugh at these people. I saw Danny Trejo saying how inflation blah blah blah and how their pay isn’t going up. Fuck you pal, it’s been so high it doesn’t matter how can you compare yourself to regular people who actually work and make nothing. Get fucked Hollywood.

Sadly I'm in this business for another 10 years so I have to root for them to get a fair deal. I don't blame people for hating them and this business. They put out a lot of crap and woke BS. On the AI front, I am 100 percent on their side. If AI is not controlled by rules and laws, it will put 90 percent of the workforce out of work in 10 years. So basically, the only jobs will be labor jobs. And automation will put a lot of those jobs out of business in the future. Funny that all the College degree holders will be worthless and the blue-collar trades will be priceless soon.

The Danny Trejo's are the 1 percent of actors who make a lot of money. 5 percent are those who make a decent living. The other 95 percent work 2-3 jobs hoping they can join the 5 percent and most likely will never do so. The writers are in the same boat.

Its going to be the same for all industry and why governments and guys like Musk are talking about welfare being a living wage type value, as the productivity trade off from AI to people is so great it cannot be ignored. I tend to agree modern people and their work from home, work life balance, HR issues, fack people use AI,and get rid of them and their 100 modern issues, I mostly blame the left and the union movement for killing productivity, but ultimately AI will change everything, they need to retire the public servants and their unions first, that will be a real test case, governments supporting AI even where they know the greatest productivity gains can be made in the public private corporate sectors, where governments especially left governments come from. But this is SkyNet right here, just the average low IQ voter doesnt appreciate it because he's white skinned waving a rainbow flag hating on his whitey ancestors.

Like Dionne Warwick sang decades ago...

"LA is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas"

Labor doesn't imbue a product with value. It doesn't matter how many hours someone invests. What consumers are willing to pay is it's value.

And if someone is good at what they do they welcome a challenge. Bring it on. Let the best man or AI win. What are they striking for? The right to be paid for a more expensive and inferior product?

If someone does drywall better than I do and charges less then you should have the right to choose him instead of me, right? If I picket outside your house what am I going to say? It's not fair he's better than me so that's why I deserve your money?

If you work in a office, on a computer, in a store, AI will eventually take your job. It's not whos better. AI will ALWAYS be better in the end. So when the majority of people in this country are out of work because of AI, what then? The world only needs so many drywallers.

If you can can't beat a bot then you deserve to be replaced. They're here and all the picket signs in the world aren't going to change that. Sorry.

Besides, there's no evidence everyone is going to lose their job. How's the self driving car thing we were promised going? "AI" 2023 is nothing but a predictive text program. It's not true artificial intelligence.

I'm surprised at you. Most political conservatives acknowledge that attempts to legislate the free market are wrongheaded and end in tears. Say the US bans AI to save jobs and China doesn't. 10 years later you're the Amish.

In response to this comment, big tough guy Ron Pearlman made it clear he doesn't take kindly to disrespect, declaring, "We know who said that and where he f*cking lives. You wish that families starve while you’re making 27-f*cking million a year for creating nothing? Be careful, motherf*cker, there's lots of ways you can lose your home."

I disagree. This is different. Too much is changing and rapidly. AI is rudimentary right now but in a couple years it won't be. This reminds me of how the Greatest Chess player in the world said a computer could never beat him. He was wrong. Let's revisit this conversation in a few years.

His CNBC interview about the strike was pretty funny though in a chaotic way

Literally mid-interview (0:40) he leaves a voicemail for Gov. Newsom

Trejo (in a demanding shout): Hey Newsom! Yeah...call me!!
Serious Reporter: So you're leaving a message for the Governor there, what's your message to him?
Trejo: To call me!

Then over the next couple of minutes he is rambling on about being more concerned about "regular intelligence" than artificial intelligence, and ad hoc thoughts about gardeners

Didn't sway my mind in relation to the cause one way or the other, but enjoyably random

No, not like that. I would love to finish out my 10 years, say goodbye to this business and retire. But I am a resourceful person who has always had a knack for finding ways to make money. I already have a backup plan if things go south. I think it's different because I look at AI as the Great Disrupter. Kind of like computers did in the 80's, and the internet in the 90's. A lot of good came out of those. AI on the other hand will have more negative consequences on ALL of our lives than good. Like I said before, let's revisit this conversation in a few years.

Good paying jobs HAVE been eliminated and outsourced in the neverending search for higher profits.  60-70 years ago, you could support a family of four and own a house, all on a factory jobs income.  No expensive college degree needed.  Nowadays both parents need to work at least one job just to keep a roof over their heads.  Meanwhile the wealthiest Americans are hoarding more wealth than ever.

The end result of AI will be the loss of good-paying jobs and the further concentration of wealth into the 0.1%.  That is, if it ever gets off the ground.  All I’ve seen has been a glorified chatbot.

Good paying jobs HAVE been eliminated and outsourced in the neverending search for higher profits.  60-70 years ago, you could support a family of four and own a house, all on a factory jobs income.  No expensive college degree needed.  Nowadays both parents need to work at least one job just to keep a roof over their heads.  Meanwhile the wealthiest Americans are hoarding more wealth than ever.

The end result of AI will be the loss of good-paying jobs and the further concentration of wealth into the 0.1%.  That is, if it ever gets off the ground.  All I’ve seen has been a glorified chatbot.

The Government is 32 trillion in debt. The combined wealth of all the billionaires in the U.S is about 4 trillion, but the problem is so and so not paying their “fair share” and we hear this from a 50 year career politician who never made dime that wasn’t off the taxpayer.

You’re a good guy but you believe the big government BS.

It's bad enough that we're being robbed of writers and actors >:(  but Chief Diversity Officers are getting canned.  :'(  :D


The Rise and Fall of the Chief Diversity Officer:

Companies including Netflix, Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery have recently said that high-profile diversity, equity and inclusion executives will be leaving their jobs. Thousands of diversity-focused workers have been laid off since last year, and some companies are scaling back racial justice commitments.

Diversity, equity and inclusion—or DEI—jobs were put in the crosshairs after many companies started re-examining their executive ranks during the tech sector’s shake out last fall. Some chief diversity officers say their work is facing additional scrutiny since the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in college admissions and companies brace for potential legal challenges. DEI work has also become a political target. See linked article.

How many times have we heard this rap? From farm equipment to technology, it was all gonna eliminate everyone’s job. Meanwhile, the population has increased 4x in the last 100 years and unemployment is at 3%.

It’s about having a dynamic economy. So when one area of work becomes obsolete, there is somewhere else to go.

Don't believe the Unemployment numbers. They have been fudged for years. 3 percent means only 3 percent of the population is Looking for work and have not found a job that pays a shit. There are a ton of minimum wage jobs but who can support a family and have a good life on that salary? There are not a lot of Good paying jobs left. Meanwhile, half the population in this country is NOT working. A big portion of them is living off the government ie. our tax dollars. As for the farms, the majority of family owned farms have been wiped out by big business who use machines and not people to do the majority of work. Yes the population is increasing especially with the border being wide open. We import 1 million people legally every year into this country. Under Biden, there are an additional 5 million illegals who have been let in since he took office. That doesn't count the getaways they don't know about. We are going to have a big part of our population who will have NO opportunity to work or find work very soon as AI takes hold. Thats why this is different. Once they lose their job from AI, there will be NO where else to go for work. Look at every defunct city to see my point. Detroit used to be the Auto capital of the world. Now, there is nothing there to find a decent living. There are actual miles of blocks of empty houses and apartments. This will happen all across this country in the near future. I hope I am wrong but I don't think I will be.

So, I guess we won’t see the next Godfather remake with Don Corleone as a tranny.😂

Getbiggers have nothing to worry about other than deciding which yacht to buy and where to park it in Monte Carlo.

The breakwater in Monte Carlo is too close to shore for the royal yacht and Getbigger’s yachts.

We won’t be mooring there until modifications are made.

Like Dionne Warwick sang decades ago...

"LA is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas"


Great voice she had.

If you work in a office, on a computer, in a store, AI will eventually take your job. It's not whos better. AI will ALWAYS be better in the end. So when the majority of people in this country are out of work because of AI, what then? The world only needs so many drywallers.
I'd like to see AI design a house with construction documents etc., or adding an addition to an existing home renovation. All dimensions have to be relevant, all building codes followed, etc. Not happening soon.

Construction jobs are the few that won't be lost. Almost all office jobs, accounting, consulting, etc, are toast.
