Except the AI automation dream is slowly falling apart, as people realizing genAI is just a very clever prediction machine, not an all-knowing machine.
There’s good and there’s good enough. Kiosks for ordering food suck but they still stick because the savings from not hiring more workers just balances out. AI is overhyped right now but a tipping point will come. The idea of having an “employee” that doesn’t complain, need breaks, get sick, or unionize is just too good to ignore. They’ll hammer it until it fits in the hole.
“must benefit everyone, not just a handful of billionaires”
It’s hard to disagree with that statement but all this upheaval about “killing jobs” seems really pointless to me.
A manual farm has far more employees then one that uses modern machinery, is the economy in decline if the farmer replaces human labor with machines?
That isn’t where the jobs are being replaced. We made robots for warehouses and accounting and middle management.
Why does it matter what is replaced?
I would say if it frees up a human from having to do it that it’s good news.
Its time for everyone to make their own private companies
