As robots and AI reduce the demand for human labor, the tax base (wages, payroll taxes) shrinks. That means new funding models are needed:
Funding for what? All money would essentially become vouchers for your share of the…
- food that is robotically grown and gathered using AI.
- housing that is robotically built using AI
- Other products that are similarly built, sourced, and distributed by machines.
So the transfer payments from the government no longer need to be funded, and the military budget goes away because there is no longer anything to fight about - everyone lives like a king.
There is a transition period to get through, and that is the challenge. Plus, life without struggle would become a psychological burden that I’m afraid we are ill equipped for.

LLMs, aka language predictors, as they currently function, are approaching a point of diminishing returns. Advances will soon be constrained by the available computing power, which limits how much further they can scale. Moreover, the information LLMs draw from is ultimately based on human knowledge. Unless a fundamentally new method of processing is developed—which does not yet exist—they cannot move beyond that limitation.
In this sense, LLMs, as of today, are a bubble that may soon be bursting… and that will probably be after all the tards in suits fire all their employees.

What area in finance should he consider?
Financial planning is already a 50/50 success job. Think about it this way, would y you trust some snot nosed 25 year old with your money? He’d either have to spend 5+ years either being somebody’s bitch or doing cold call inside sales to then get his chance at being commissioned based and still maybe failing.
You can always get into financial planning once you have real experience. If he’s serious, he should try to get a banking or wealth management job at a big bank or investment firm where you’re dealing with real shite, not Tom’s 401k at Edward jones

No you didn’t. Is your revenue per person higher, lower, or the same than 15 years ago?
That has zero bearing on your assertion that robotics will replace workers.
We use it.
It hasn't.
It never will.
There are things we must do to ensure our equipment stays insured and within code. These things grow, not shrink, as new tech becomes available. We still use the older tech, but we also rolled in new tech (along with new contractors)
Wanna talk about drone useage now and how that has grown our dept.
Or
Do you just wanna stick to what you know and leave the rest to us not so small guys?

If you’d just answer my question, I could walk you through it like a 3 year using your own information so you could understand.
But again, you are unwilling or unable to do so

I really don’t understand the greater goal of replacing people with AI.
For every person you replace for greater efficiency via AI you also take that person’s economic contribution off the table.
I’m conservative but AI and robotics represents a paradigm shift. There is a point where governments should tax corps for that big productivity boost, kill all welfare programs, and give everyone a universal basic income. If you make more, more power to you. But you won’t be stressing when you are unemployed for 3 years trying to stick out of the masses all fighting for relatively few human jobs left.

I care not about your question.
Your assertion:
quote:
2. The least to be affected by AI is mostly because you don’t need AI to do those, simple robotics will be sufficient
Did you not make that assertion? Did you not do it as if you have experience with simple robotics?
Yes you did. On both counts.
I addressed your assertion. It was wrong. Get over it.
Care to amend that assertion in any way? Maybe then your question would be valid.
Did I explain it well enough for your narcissitic mind to comprehend? Should I make it simpler for you?

Given that fast food have started pilot plants using robots as opposed to humans to cook, package, and bag food in real world serving contexts I don’t think it’s absurd to think we can see a horizon in 15-20 years where it is common place.

Lowest jobs always come first.
As to the narcissitic asshat's comment however, we have liability concerns to worry about. No way MSHA, OSHA, our insurers, PHMSA and other regulatory agencies will allow most jobs, in the industries that I have worked, to be done with automation and not have someone to hold liable. As of now, we use highly trained techs to use robots and drones do to everything from smart pigging to 3D corrosion mapping.
Revenue growth, as he thinks is important, is not. Savings realised through effective failure mapping and reduced downtime more than pays for the methods we use(and of course increase revenue).
Now, these are "simple robotics". Amend that to more advanced and things may change. We are however, a far ways away from that. Far enough to where I will be dead and gone.
People have been talking this same shite since automation took over auto manufacturing. I go to many seminars and trade fairs and see all the products in development for the mechanical integrity industry. We are no closer to full integration of robotics than we were when I started...shite...35 years ago.

I’ll ask you for the third time for you to not answer, what is your revenue per employee as opposed to 15 years ago?

Only 2,710 “Motorboat Operators” listed as “Lowest Risk”???

Doesn't matter. We would do it regardless.
Read reply to non-narcissitic asshat above.
The narcissitic mindset really wants that assertion to be correct.
As the assertion stands, it doesn't matter.
