BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I don't give a ***** what your political affiliations are, there really isn't any existing job which bean-counters won't figure out a way to make unnecessary. personally, I think Artificial Intelligence may just be the stupidest thing I've ever seen or dated, but the layoffs are coming. Believe what you will.

Believe what you will. AI is the elephant in the room no one is talking about. Our government doesn’t seem interested in regulating it. AI firms are stealing the intellectual property of everyone to use. Corporations can’t wait to lay off their employees to increase their profits. Tech billionaires will become trillionaires while the working class will be left fighting for the crumbs. If it can be used for evil, we all know it will be used that way. Aside from possible health care benefits, I don’t see any benefits. I don’t want driverless cars, I don’t want a computer for a doctor, I don’t want young men developing relationships with algorithm programmed AI women, I don’t want to not know if a photo, video or voice is real. It’s all BS. 1

Believe what you will. Coming? I'd contend they are already here. I see a lot more green circles on LinkedIn than ever (i.e. "open to work"/indicating unemployed status). Most are in tech or related disciplines.
teef Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago we had a young guy in our office recently who has masters degree from RIT in computer or software engineering, ( i may not have that exactly correct but that was the idea) and he is having a lot of trouble finding work. he actually said that he thinks he chose the wrong career. i can't imagine being that age with a lot of schooling thinking that my work is getting phased out.
4th&long Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I have a friend that lost her job to Ai. If you ask Ai a question the answers are not always right. How can companies rely on that? If you are running a company and Ai ***** up then what? You get what you deserve.

Twin valedictorians in my son's graduating HS class three years ago went to RIT. They are saying the same thing... absurdly intelligent, hard working kids.
JFKjr Posted 41 minutes ago Posted 41 minutes ago AI is going to suck up a huge amount of energy. Raising the price of electric for the rest of us. Great time to be switching to EVs and 'all electric' homes though! (New New York state law that new buildings must be electric not gas, starting in 2026) Should get interesting!

If the Chinese perfect Thorium reactors (which it appears they are on the cusp of using our research from the 1950s) then energy will be cheap and plentiful.
Coffeesforclosers Posted 32 minutes ago Posted 32 minutes ago AI is either the bubble of all bubbles, or it's going to make huge swathes of white collar and service work obsolete. Either way, main street will get *****, and the rich will get richer, or get bailed out.

Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted 28 minutes ago Posted 28 minutes ago Humanoid robots are coming onto the market real soon. If those things can perform household tasks they can surely serve a cup of coffee or a burger at a fast food joint. Many, many jobs are going to be taken over by some form of automation. Amazon plans to double the number of packages it ships, but with the same number of workers it has now. Amazon's warehouses, only a few years old are already obsolete! Yes, there will be a jobs crisis soon

Something big is going to change soon with energy, whether its Thorium, solar power from space, helium 3 found on the moon or something else.
