A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, the one currently used for actual productive work by scientific researchers, healthcare specialists, energy development, manufacturing, agriculture and such, is poised to be able to handle about 20% of all human related work by 2040.
By 2043, it will be able to handle 100% of any human related work in the fields. The takeoff is merely 3 years
It's fine if you guys want to live in a little mental bubble where this doesn't happen
But I'd suggest you start getting ready for what comes next.
Oh boy I can't wait for our currently robust social safety net and already existent universal basic income to allow us to live a life pursuing the things that make us happy, rather then multi-billionaires firing everyone and the world becoming a plutocracy where the average person struggles to get even the bare minimum.
Should cite sources for this if you want it taken seriously.
The source is a research paper that the AI I community have been going on about for a few days now. I can't link to it right now because I'm at work but I'll update when I can.
But if you Google for it you will find it as it's been a fairly hot topic the last few days.
You sound exactly like Christian doomsday cultists screaming about the end times. I'll believe it when I see it.
you were promised it will. You paid out the ass for it. Money's gone, that shit ain't happening :)
And what comes next is?
Death?
Oddly specific but okay
I think you should post sources for your claims. This sounds stupidly wrong. Are you American?
How exactly?
