How could Artificial Intelligence become dangerous?

[CloverKnollFarms]

Real, or overstated?

"The US economy has shed 142,200 jobs over the last 4 months excluding healthcare sector, the highest reading since the 2020 Crisis."

Lage technology companies have been laying off tens of thousands.

They write the code that eliminates their own jobs.

Also, to be fair... When trying to reduce inflation, the FED raises interest rates. Part of "cooling the economy" includes higher unemployment. That is sort of a side effect of the thing we intentionally did.

Now the question is, did the Fed wait too long to reduce rates? Are they in part to blame for increased unemployment that was unnecessary? People will debate that.

In either case, as a wise man once said, "just learn to code"

AI company CEOs say they expect to see 10-30% unemployment in a few years. So, I mean, some folks think we are over-employed. We may have higher employment than we will ever have again. Think about that.

Man I'm glad I'm retired.

Same!

I told my kids they are welcome to come join the family compound.

The legacy we built may be different than I thought it would be. Probably more important than I had ever imagined.

Guess you didn’t like my previous AI related post to you?

So, I think some of the disagreement is philosophical vs practical. You can be dead set against it, hate everything about it, be 100% convinced it will enslave us all; But you can't Do anything about it. Im approaching AI from not a should, vs shouldnt; but from it is going to happen, approach.

Let's say these computer coders are working themselves out of a job; what actual action should they do, other than soaking up paychecks while they can? They can't stop it (if they really are working themselves out of employment), so they might as well work for the next 2, 3, 10 years, and make as much $$$ as they can. Sure, they can quit and walk off; but that doesn't Do anything good for them

It's not my intention to introduce partisan politics. But the concern that AI can, and does today, replace people, is an issue that will change our culture. So I think it's valid to include it in the AI topic.

It will impact life as we know it, just like the smart phone, automobile, etc did. It is always a mixed bag of good and bad.
Can't stop progress that many want. Until they drag me out of the woods I'll just keep on doing my thing in my ways.

I imagined an old bulletin board with handwritten messages pinned one on top of the other, the subject being about how this new-fangled invention called electricity is going to wreck everything and put a lot of people out of work...

I just don't see that as partisan. Author claims joblessness is growing rapidly. That corresponds to other things we've read about AI replacing labor. He titled it crisis, I think it is for those affected, because now there are fewer human jobs they could shift into.
