That’s realistic and slightly exaggerated

If you’re at the age where you’re wondering what you want to be when you grow up… you’re probably gonna be a hobo on the street. Ai is about to drop and take all the jobs. Give up on your dreams. There are gonna be a ton of poor plumbers and a ton of homeless people. There is nothing in place to stop it. It’s gonna get ugly it’s already starting. And then one guy is gonna have like ten trillion dollars. But you’re not gonna be him

That’s inaccurate, but somewhat true. You’ve wildly exaggerated it, though. When the computer arrived on the scene, people thought humans were gone. When machines arrived, the same thing happened. People panic too much.

#62 to be fair they did both take away some jobs, but they also introduced lots of new ones and made tons of jobs way easier so it was a net positive

You’re right. But the whole ‘end of humanity’ thing isn’t justified.

Things are gonna get worse and worse and worse and there is absolutely nothing to stop it

Probably not gonna happen. I would still say we shouldn’t ever let it write its own code though, that sounds a bit sketchy

Historically, companies always get things right. Yes, some of them do questionable things, but the corporate world as a whole, always follows the money, and that makes things better. The thing you’re using to communicate with us would alarm people in the 17th century and make them go crazy.

The world’s population is increasing.

It’s like when u have Amazon. Ok we all get that great service. But at the same time, Amazon has made that whole profession pay like $20 an hour. If you used to deliver mail you can afford a house and kids and a car and retirement and everything. Now you can afford like a sandwich and an apartment barely with the same work. Unions are busted. So ya you get an iPhone and Amazon but life is worse. That’s what ai is going to make a lot worse. You’ll have an ai assistant, but you’ll have to work like three jobs for a sandwich for like 50% of people in the country. It’s gonna get real ugly. And someone is gonna make ten trillion dollars and explore space. There’s nothing to stop this from happening unfortunately

I wanted to be an astrophysicist all throughout high school, but the uni course wasn’t really my style and I decided to become a police officer.
