Unless societies establish some ground rules, this will become common
I've seen what the latest paid-access versions of GPT tech can do, and it's god-like. When, not if, AGI happens, there will be no job that can't be taken by a machine. "Me plus AI" is a lie sold by the tech barons and their political enablers to deflect or at least postpone the reckoning as automation inflicts a net erasure of jobs. True, there will be "new jobs" created by AI, but ten new AI roles per 100 layoffs isn't a "new economy," it's a mess. Multiply that by thousands of times, and it's a huge mess.
Bots don't eat, travel, buy houses and cars, pay for education, or shop for holiday gifts. Replaceable meat pulp does all that, and it's, well, replaceable. That doesn't sound like a workable formula for an economy. Honestly, you can't compare this to any historical tech replacement like word processors, RIFD toll booths, or online retail. All of those things replaced some kind of old technology while leaving the door open for the affected people to move into a new role or upgrade their skills with education. That's gone, and the "tech" being replaced this time is the human mind itself. I'm profoundly happy to say that as a watch marketer I sell an obsolete, physical, purely emotional and unnecessary product. That's not a firewall against AI, but it might be a speed bump.
Anyone expecting a safe haven in blue collar work will be shocked to find that AI powered robotics will start to displace those jobs, too. The fact that all of this is being done in private labs behind closed doors by for-profit businesses without regulatory oversight is another mess waiting to happen. Mythos should have been a wakeup call. For all the talk about "winning" the AI race, I fervently wish to be as far as possible from the country that "wins" that race.
Best,
Tim
Stupid Question - with AI taking over the market, who will buy nice watches?!!!
Lord knows Nico’s safe is only so big!! Credit NY Times ...
Probably depends on the individual's stock options and length of tenure....
on which they base a substantial amount of the severance.... I'm sure some employees received very handsome pay-outs!

Tim I don't know if anyone could have it said this sentiment better.
AI is a disaster it's like feeling the brakes starting to go out as we race towards a cliff. We know how this is going to end. Watches will be the last thing on peoples minds.
Sadly
The regulatory framework (is there even one) is not anywhere to be seen. People have been trained to think that regulations inhibit markets and by inference capitalism. They are about to learn a painful lesson.
This should be printed as a legit editorial piece in the NYT and other outlets.
Problem is, exactly as you say, it can’t be stopped. Your point about all the development happening in closed “labs” is going to hit like a tsunami. And no government or regulators will be able to get ahead of it.
The circle j-rk of billion$$$$$$ being made up, AI 'investing' is like a Magical Money Printing Machine. Rest assured the K economy is safe, rich guys are doing great! 👑

Updated post, u r fun 🎪
Some things go up in buying power. Of course you could be like central banks and buy physical gold. How much do you have?
I have no bitcoin!
Gold? Does gold-plated or gold color count? I got lots of those 😂😂😂
AI will duhhh!:)
I'm not a fan of AI we are rushing to our demise. Everyone sees it and feels it yet we continue forging ahead.
Ahh!! Well when companies see other companies getting better at AI
they try to keep up, at least that’s what I think 🤷🤷🤷
I don't know, for me personally I hate speaking to a bot when I call a place. I want someone with a soul on the other line.
In fact I will personally seek offices in (healthcare) that have not gone the AI route to have more of a connection to someone human.
If people would watch globális trends they would starting to preoare!
As per the U.S. Government portal, in three years 50% of U.S. jobs will be obsolete! Doctors, lawyers, architects, teachers… AI will take over, Maybe plumbers, electricians, construction workers have a bit longer lifespan…? Watches will be relics of the p...
I don’t believe that.
AI IMO will never replace a doctor it will help diagnose but not ultimately treat a patient. nor do I think laws would allow it to be stand alone without doctor supervision. Paralegals will probably cease to exist as lawyers could use AI to substitute for...
I hope you’re right!
However, most doctors already use AI to diagnose. In mayor cities doctors just prescribe medication and all conversations between doctor and parade recorded for AI to learn! Surgeons are safe for now! Teachers will be nothing but screens in the classroom ...
Prior to my retirement, I was doing a bunch of "inside" work on AI in this area.
The reality is that most of these companies are and were woefully overstaffed. AI is just the excuse: companies are now trimming the fat. Forced hiring for many reasons, including non-merit based ones, and now the chickens have come home to roost. Except,...
