Humans Need Not Apply

I was thinking this video was getting out of date… then AI art and language models arrived and I am more concerned about this topic than ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pr3thuB10U :_Bot:

New goal: Make it to retirement without being replaced

"you might think technology can't replace your job" I'd be pretty horrified if technology started replacing unemployed peoples jobs.

This was 8 years ago, now with the sudden rise of AI music, AI art, AI video, ChatGPT, and so on... that's crazy...

See once upon a time "robots do all the humans jobs" meant "humans don't need to work anymore, because abundance can be achieved without labor"; now it means "you must work to get income to survive, and no one will employ you because a robot can do all the work more cheaply." If governments don't start to provide income for their citizens, how will the increasingly unemployed and unemployable population be expected to survive?

2014 Grey: We're being taken over by artificial intelligence and automation! 2020 Grey: TUMBLEWEEDS

This wouldn't be scary if we lived in a world where being unemployed didn't mean loss of livelihood

It’s definitely time for a part 2..

I'd really like an updated version of this video.

Guy: Kills person in front of Baxter Baxter: "Interesting"

Worth noting that baxter was discontinued in 2018 due to underwhelming sales, for anyone who has stumbled onto this

I learned to make pizza the through all the traditional methods at a New York style pizzaria and at a Neapolitan style pizzaria. I worked at the fastest place in town and was able to toss and stretch pizza dough so fast that both of the owners and two GMs couldn't keep up at the over side of the oven. Now I work in a university cafeteria. The company that runs the cafeteria bought a dough pressing robot that presses doughballs perfectly flat, every time, even with inferior dough. I'm 25 and my trade is already dead.

The YouTube algorithm recommending this to me at least twice a year feels a bit like mockery

When playing a Minecraft Tech mod with my gf I realised this. She didn't want me to automate her work in the game. I usually always automate any production line I need in the game. Up to the point where I litterarly have nothing to do, and so I get bored and quit the game. My girlfriend asked me not to automate her stuff, though repetetive, it is still something to do. We then needed too much material to continue with the same manual labour, thus automating the things that we did not have time for, and instead started to work on the next step. Making sure not to make ourselves unecessary. Much better experience.

It sucks that I’m in the generation with the awkward gap where the economy needs humans for it to function, but there’s so many robots that finding a normal job is getting more and more difficult.

So you think a bot can take my job? The joke's on you, I don't have a job!

I have spoken to Watson before. He was on an art museum here in my country, you would walk around with headsets and could ask questions about the paintings and such, but he was SO damn smart to a point where he could read my body language to know if I was lying to him, recomend me other areas of the museum that could interest me based on previous questions and the *tone of my voice*. After about an hour of just talking to him about the paintings, I completely forgot he wasn't a real person talking to me via Skype
