Elon Musk Says AI Will Provide Everything You Need

[Dave D]

Moving jobs and eliminating jobs are different things.  Again, a dude straight out of high school or college isn't going to be in a good spot competing with more experienced people for fewer jobs.

How so? Moving jobs out of the country doesn’t help the workers in the country, for all intents and purposes those jobs are eliminated for the country they left.

 I agree with the idea that someone coming out of whatever school won’t be in a good spot competing against someone with more experience, but how is different than what people deal with today? But you seem to think new industry’s won’t emerge (and it’s possible they won’t), history would indicate that “new” needs arise and the free market place will create answers to these needs.

I’m not a fan of this AI movement and I tend to lean towards your take that this will create more problems and issues that we are prepared for (it’s going to create problems that we can’t even begin to imagine), but in the words of Thomas Jefferson, “ The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite.”

The elite will end up being AI. We are in the matrix.

The thing being ignored is the massive productivity increases that will happen with AI.  Where 10 acres would previously produce 1000 bushels, AI will make it 5,000.  Where a factory could normally produce 1,000 cars a month, now it will be double or more.  Stuff like that.  Material goods will be plentiful, and plentiful means cheap, hence the post-scarcity world.  Yes, many problems/issues flow from this, but many benefits also. 

All families in the United States could live on one acre a piece in less than 10% of the land area (not including Alaska).
