Feels like we are not too far from that right now. I think I pay like $50k a year for health insurance for my family of five.
Stupid Question - with AI taking over the market, who will buy nice watches?!!!
Lord knows Nico’s safe is only so big!! Credit NY Times ...
Probably depends on the individual's stock options and length of tenure....
on which they base a substantial amount of the severance.... I'm sure some employees received very handsome pay-outs!
Unless societies establish some ground rules, this will become common
I've seen what the latest paid-access versions of GPT tech can do, and it's god-like. When, not if, AGI happens, there will be no job that can't be taken by a machine. "Me plus AI" is a lie sold by the tech barons and their political enablers to deflect o...
Tim I don't know if anyone could have it said this sentiment better.
AI is a disaster it's like feeling the brakes starting to go out as we race towards a cliff. We know how this is going to end. Watches will be the last thing on peoples minds.
Sadly
The regulatory framework (is there even one) is not anywhere to be seen. People have been trained to think that regulations inhibit markets and by inference capitalism. They are about to learn a painful lesson.
The only saving grace with nukes was that any idiot couldn't get one - not so lucky this time
81 years after Los Alamos, you still need to be a state entity to engineer and build an atomic bomb. It never got easier or cheaper. There was no Moore's Law for nukes, thank god. Tech products are different. Your neighbor's kid could use a commercial pro...
This should be printed as a legit editorial piece in the NYT and other outlets.
Problem is, exactly as you say, it can’t be stopped. Your point about all the development happening in closed “labs” is going to hit like a tsunami. And no government or regulators will be able to get ahead of it.
That's kind, but I take no pleasure in sizing up this slow motion train wreck.
I would love to be wrong and laugh about it here on WPS in ten years. But when greed and caution hit the scales, dollars and cents outweigh sense every time. People as a group always seem to learn the hard way. Best, Tim
The circle j-rk of billion$$$$$$ being made up, AI 'investing' is like a Magical Money Printing Machine. Rest assured the K economy is safe, rich guys are doing great! 👑

Updated post, u r fun 🎪
Some things go up in buying power. Of course you could be like central banks and buy physical gold. How much do you have?
I have no bitcoin!
Gold? Does gold-plated or gold color count? I got lots of those 😂😂😂
AI will duhhh!:)
I'm not a fan of AI we are rushing to our demise. Everyone sees it and feels it yet we continue forging ahead.
Ahh!! Well when companies see other companies getting better at AI
they try to keep up, at least that’s what I think 🤷🤷🤷
I don't know, for me personally I hate speaking to a bot when I call a place. I want someone with a soul on the other line.
In fact I will personally seek offices in (healthcare) that have not gone the AI route to have more of a connection to someone human.
If people would watch globális trends they would starting to preoare!
As per the U.S. Government portal, in three years 50% of U.S. jobs will be obsolete! Doctors, lawyers, architects, teachers… AI will take over, Maybe plumbers, electricians, construction workers have a bit longer lifespan…? Watches will be relics of the p...
I don’t believe that.
AI IMO will never replace a doctor it will help diagnose but not ultimately treat a patient. nor do I think laws would allow it to be stand alone without doctor supervision. Paralegals will probably cease to exist as lawyers could use AI to substitute for...
I hope you’re right!
However, most doctors already use AI to diagnose. In mayor cities doctors just prescribe medication and all conversations between doctor and parade recorded for AI to learn! Surgeons are safe for now! Teachers will be nothing but screens in the classroom ...
Watches already ARE relics of the past.
Maybe that should give us some insight to a path for those who wish to continue creating and making.
Prior to my retirement, I was doing a bunch of "inside" work on AI in this area.
The reality is that most of these companies are and were woefully overstaffed. AI is just the excuse: companies are now trimming the fat. Forced hiring for many reasons, including non-merit based ones, and now the chickens have come home to roost. Except,...
As a follow up:
Last spring, doing some consultative work for the "gubmint". I educated some software developers on EARLY AI practices that were speeding development and QA/QC work by 30% within the first week or two after they adopted my suggestions, and they have kept ...
I think there is some part not knowing how to use/apply AI and another
Part with shitty AI systems. But I think, when done right, AI is can be scary useful. I hear it’s good for time intensive but repetitive task..
Proper crafting of the prompts are key. I wasted a fair amount of time in that area until I got close...
...Mark Andreeson (of Andreeson Horowitz fame, also Netscape, etc) recently released a VERY effective prompt that has mostly eliminated the need for custom workspace prompting and greatly reduced the hallucinations I've seen once I've "forced the reboots"...
Yes...when I worked in tech from the '90s onward, at least...
...20% of companies were dead weight. The bigger the company, the more dead weight. Especially departments like marketing and HR...
If the long term impact of AI is as many are saying here
What’s to worry? We would all be toast; everyone. When entire societies collapse everything stops: large scale food production, water supply, waste systems, etc. The human race has survived dark ages and global catastrophes before, it may somehow find its...
