Submission statement
This article is written by a conservative who was against universal basic income and now supports it as a response to the economic impacts of AI that will likely happen quickly and that politicians just aren’t taking seriously enough yet.
Well *some* are prepared with their bunkers in Hawaii. But I think the extraction class has forgotten a valuable lesson. Henry Ford was asked why he paid he paid his employees well and his response was that basically that the ultra wealthy needed people with enough money to buy the products that were being made at the time.
Shorter Geoffrey Hinton: “We’re all trying to find the guy who did this”
Minor gripe – but one thing I wish there was less of on Reddit is freaking opinion pieces; especially opinion pieces with a thumbnail of a different person than the one writing it. Hinton is a well known AI voice; cloaking an opinion in his image is misleading, although I have no doubt me might agree with parts of the opinion.
AI is somehow both hyped trash and the end of the civilization. Can we pick a lane?
Not just “the US”. This is going to affect most countries.
Guaranteed government job programs and universal basic income are the obvious stop-gap solution for AI-driven mass unemployment.
„The United States has no plan. None.“
Indeed. Pretty much no country has any plan, either.
Unprepared – HA. Speak for yourself. While you were busy partying, I studied being unemployed.
I came to the same conclusion around 2018 while talking politics with a few of my friends. I had no idea it would arrive so soon, but I feel this is spot on. There is no plan for when those who are willing to work no longer have work to do.
Nah, we’ll be able to adapt. AI and automation is a tool, which isn’t a new concept. We’ve been using tools for thousands of years. Tools have made some jobs obsolete but it has also created new type of jobs. In some ways, more jobs than have been lost.
The face of the economy will change, just like it has in the past. Fifty to sixty years ago, the US economy was changing from a manufacturing-base economy to a service-base economy / information technology-based economy.
Millions of manufacturing jobs were „*lost*,“ not just because many of those jobs were moved overseas but because automation replaced those jobs. And yes, there was unemployment while a workforce restructured and trained into the new economy.
We’re going to see the same here. The main thing that I hope for is that, maybe, just maybe, we can have that work to our advantage to our personal lives. Should we really have to be working forty hours a week or more, when we might be able to work less hours and still do more.
thats what i dont like about ai situation. everyone is an expert but nobody knows what is really going on.
Its OK, they have ICE to gun down internal terrorists /s
