If AI and robotics takes all of our jobs, then where will these companies get their money?

Once AI and robots do everything (including maintenance and replacement) the only costs to companies will be non-renewable resources. At that point, we will likely find more sources of non-renewables or renewable replacements, at which point there will be no cost to anything. Companies will exist as a service but will not make money.

This is all crazy far away though

These have already been replaced by kiosks and will only continue to be. Technology is moving very fast now. People can post on here until they are blue in the face about how their job or industry won't be impacted by AI but its wishcasting at the most delusional level. Its going to significantly reduce both white and blue collar jobs at a rapid rate. Nobody will be immune. Maybe a few select trades will be. Its coming and most won't be prepared for it.

Brother, I'm telling you what is on the way I'm not insecure about anything even though it's going to impact thousands just like me in big tech. I realize what is the inevitable result. I'm 45 and will be able to retire at 50 to 52 from corporate life. It's coming.

I’ve tried multiple “AI” solutions, as of today, many of them can’t accurately report the distance between two points. Will they get better? I’m sure they will, but they are NOWHERE near replacing any job of any substance.

I’ll continue to monitor and more than happy to change my opinion, but AI is nothing more than an aggregator of data at this point with no ability to synthesize whether that underlying data is bullshite or not

Ai, Automation, Robots are the future workforce. Bank Tellers and Fast Food cashiers have been on the way out for several years now and will be totally extinct. AI isn't the only cog here it will be used in conjunction with other technologies. This isn't hard to see to anyone who isn't in denial.

I’m not in denial, I’m just not convinced of your doom and gloom. Gemini, as of yesterday, couldn’t accurately provide me a list of companies in the Texas Enterprise Zone program…. It’s published on the governors website. The response was it wasn’t “sure” because it wasn’t public info. Which is just totally wrong and any practitioner knows that

I'm telling you I am neck deep in AI governance right now. We both have some perspective here.

There are two very different sides of AI right now. The one that would lead to the doom you're predicting is not going to move as fast as the retail side. That will only do as much harm as the general public wants it to do. The part of the iceberg under the surface is going to take quite a while to do what you're saying it will. Inevitably, but 5-10 years is a wild prediction from where I'm sitting.

They are not replacing people, they are going to not hire new people.

Any time we have some new, emerging technology there are always wild predictions like "all cars will be driverless in 10 years" and then the reality is that 20% of cars end up being driverless in 30 years.

It's not doom and gloom. You are smarter than this. You are acting like I am 'Stout' posting about a housing crash thread for the 1,000th time or something

AI alone isn't going to replace you or me but a combination of technologies will. All this is still in its infancy and it is growing stronger every year. Technology is moving faster now than ever before and that will only continue. There will be a lot of blue and white collar workers out of work in the next 10 years. Its coming.

I honestly feel like we are very rapidly entering the AI age. It's everywhere now.

The new question is, "Is that real?" We can't trust anything we see now.

It's a brave new world yall

I think companies learned a lot from the emergence of cloud computing. So many dove head first for that shiny object before they knew how to use it, control it, and protect it. It burned a lot of them as they scrambled to adjust to it all.

Containerization was handled more pragmatically at the start, and AI even moresoe because of all the valid concerns. We are getting smarter, but also wiser.

AI will certainly change how things are done in the long-run, but people are confusing that with the short-run economy (let’s say the next 15 years). Strictly going by objective info, 1) most polled businesses have opined that it isn’t significantly helpful, 2) overall consumer usage has reached what is at least a local peak and is declining (again, this could be a local peak but it’s worth noting along other points), and 3) there is simply no way to evaluate the circular economy involving OpenAI, Nvidia, etc. without one conclusion being that there is a staggering deficit in commercial sales & application (not getting into the whole “bubble” thing). And don’t get me started on the fact that the data centers required for any actual commercial impact are exponentially worse for the environment than the entirety of the fossil fuel industry.

What we’re dealing with presently is a very macabre theatre production. The only people spouting off shite like this are pencil-necks desperately trying to sell their (or their stock in) some BS “ai-powered parking app” or what-have-you.

So chill out with these daily threads. Half of the personal anecdotes posted are obviously fabricated btw.

No, it isn't.

Fancy search, data aggregation, and uncanny valley videos are not going to destroy all of our jobs in 10 years.

If anything, it's gotten worse as more people rely on it since it has less real data to train on.

How much profit have the big AI companies made? Certainly they should be getting rich off of this tech if it'll work long term.

I call it the NFT era of AI. It's just a toy to most right now. The people trying to get it to be a real monster are struggling mightily on several fronts.

Technology is absolutely improving at a rapid rate year over year. You have to be an idiot not to see this around you. I'm not saying AI will replace 'all' jobs but its certainly going to replace a lot of jobs. An example - an in house corporate Legal Dept that has 10 people in it will only need 3 or 4. Now multiply that across all companies that have in house legal council. Then, multiply that across all the large private practice firms across country. It results in a shite ton of educated people being out of work. It absolutely is coming.

Yep the c-suite is gonna step on its own dick with this one. They’ll need people to scapegoat because they suck at managing things. It’ll be funny to watch

AI ain't all that.........i check with AI all the time for specs on auto repair and AI is wrong a good portion of the time. If I use what it provides I would be fricking some shite up.
