Yes, I agree. That would be the best case.

However, I consider myself a little bit more realistic. Politics (especially in the US) will not allow for any form of socialism, be it UBI or something else, at least not in the near future. I believe that making fewer babies (contraception) is a strong handle that the people hold. Sure, people like fucking, but doesn't determine baby count.

Yes, I see that the argument depends on the context.

Honestly, I expect some form of mass unemployment in the future coming along with mass automation.

That doesn't mean that every job will get automated, but a large fraction (especially office jobs) will.

Also, please consider that it isn't relevant "how many jobs there are". It is relevant how well these jobs are paying. It would be very significant if AI took all of the well-paying "white collar" jobs, while humans are stuck with a lot of, but poorly paying, blue collar jobs and pink collar jobs.

EDIT: to whom it might concern, I believe that birth rate has to go down to keep the wages up. Because the labor market is a market, and less supply (fewer workers) = higher pay.

come here baby, I'll do you good

I said basic Excel sheet.

I don't believe that AI is scary.
At least, it's no more scary than a hammer.
It's a tool.

But I did want to point out that the argument that AI is "just a text prediction engine" is ridiculous.

Basically everything.

Like, even filling out a basic Excel sheet can be difficult to some people who have absolutely no experience in it.

What you choose to do, is more important than what you have a natural ability to do.

Because the thing you choose to do, you will eventually master them.

nano on the command line with syntax highlighting

    
while (x == y) {

   func1();
   func2();
}


  

notice the newline

using 3 space wide tabs 🙋

although it doesn't matter to others, because it's an editor setting.

I use nano btw.

Yeah, I do math too, and math is wonderful. I'm not angry at math. I just wanted to point out that the tool can be bent in evil ways, and we should be wary about that.

I agree with you, and I just wanted to point out how, in earlier times, greed was consideres as something abhorrent, while in modern times, it is well-embraced.

The thinking "how do I be most successful", however, has a lot in common with greed. And game theory describes exactly that. Capitalism is just the practical aspect of greed. Saying that viruses get less dangerous over time is correct, still they are more dangerous than no virus at all.

Well it's the philosophical backbone behind a lot of decisions that management makes.

"If the company does X, the people will respond with Y, and that will earn us Z money. So we do it, even though it's unethical."

So I guess that it's an important part to take an issue with.

May your wretched soul rest in peace now

They are quiet quitting, in other words.

I have the suspicion that many LGBTQ-people are more inclined to colorfulness than non-LGBTQ-people.

Since computers, unlike humans, lack intuition, I doubt that computers could organise themselves. So there probably always has to be a sysadmin, even if the sysadmin is a computer themself.

Depends on whether somebody pulled it out of their ass IMHO.
