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).

Can't he just tell her he's cutting of the money if they fuck with him and does these things?

most his baby momas f'ed him for money. I'd think they would obey if he leads with the $$$

[joswift]

Yeah good point. When has the population decreased?

It’s always been growing. Just imagine how big it would be if abortions were illegal. What were the jobs that you expect AI to replace; lawyers/law industry, medical professionals, and transportation based careers? Sales, hr, teaching, entertainment?

No one will be working?

Remember when all the auto industry companies outsourced American jobs overseas and to Mexico? People stopped working in those fields, and people still bought cars. New services will emerge.

women would just take more care not to get pregnant.

Will Elon soon part with all of his billions since it doesn’t really matter? He’ll have everything he needs according to him and more spare time to play Diablo and fuck.

To an extent, you are correct.  But these jobs are not moving.  Some dude in India isn't taking it.  It is being eliminated completely.  This will have a global impact.  My point of this goes back to (I forgot who on the first page) claimed that "AI would give us everything".  I am questioning that because AI can not magically produce food or housing or free living expenses without socialistic overtones.  With the number of jobs being eliminated, the resulting market place will be saturated with applicants, where only the most experienced will be employed.  That leaves the newcomers with what?  Other than manual labor, I don't see how many professions will survive.

elon is the biggest conman piece of shit on the planet

fuck him  fuck his cars  and fuck his supporters

I agree that manual labor will be spared more than other industries. But other industries will still persist.

I believe people will gradually get better at spotting AI generated content. I can already sense when many of the news articles I read were produced by AI. Not because of any single telltale sign. But, through an overall feeling. It’s a real turnoff for me. I suspect that same sentiment will extend to movies and other forms of entertainment. There’s an irreplaceable human element in the creative arts that AI cannot replicate.

New industries will also rise up. Someone still has to guide the AI, catch its mistakes, and make sure the output is actually trustworthy. We're already seeing the need for that in high stakes fields. Several lawyers have gotten called out and even sanctioned for submitting court filings with fake case citations that AI hallucinated. Human oversight is going to become a real profession in itself. AI prompt engineers, verifiers, fact-checkers, ethical reviewers, whatever we end up calling them doesn't matter.

If AI ran the cars in rush hour traffic it would cut commute times in half because it could instantly calculate speeds and lane changes to optimize. Also end most crashes and the delays those cause. Every good shipped much faster and easier saves massively on transport costs like fuel.

Eventually there would be no jobs at all so no traffic to worry about.

AI will never be able to come up with the idea of fucking a grapefruit. That’s my cellulite/cottage cheese analog reality theory of porn arousal.
