I’m currently enjoying AI Bible and history Tik Tok vids.

Jesus on his vlog: “What up chat? Quick vibes check, food’s flowing, music’s fire, 10/10 wedding so far.”

Mary: “Hey guys, I’m JC’s mom and I just told him the wine’s gone, so now it’s officially his problem!”

Jesus: “Alright, gonna need these (grabs some 5-gallon cisterns and fills them with water). Alright, water’s in. Now we just wait for the magic. Moment of truth. If this works, I’m a legend.”

Sunday School teachers are cooked.

Paper pushers are fricked. The Ai will push more paper than you ever dreamed.

Paralegals, secrataries, anybody compiling data and making reports. I feel like only avout 20% of companies are leaning in to using the Ai. But soon that will go way up.

Taco Bell on Airline is using AI for ordering.

He was probably replaced by Indians.

Is this where a bunch of plant workers and welders root for something they don’t understand

Zero. We’ve been through it before.

Industrialization and the invention of mobile equipment like tractors and harvesters put millions of laborers out of work.

But it also created other industries and different jobs. AI will do the same.

It concerns me. Is the goal to have few workers and complete control? I can’t imagine AI is a good thing. A tool? Maybe, but I wouldn’t trust info spit out without double checking for validity.

75% of my company’s IT department has been offshored or replaced with local Indians.

Our Teams meeting reads like Indian telephone book.

My cousin is a lawyer in NY and was in town this weekend and we had lunch. He was talking about AI and the future of law/lawyers (I know that no one will cry for lawyers) and that firms will simply use AI to write briefs and what not. They will pay a paralegal to proof everything and be done. I think he said his firm charges $350-$450 an hour but will AI a program will read or write several briefs an hour with a few paralegals reading over everything. I'm not sure the law firms will pass those savings along but you, in theory, could also use AI as your lawyer as long as you know what to check.

Jobs like that will really feel the crunch IMO.

You forget the part where AI makes up case law and the lawyers using it have been sanctioned in courts across the country.

Keep telling yourself that.

The reality is that at the exponential rate of growth these LLMs are experiencing the code blocks will rapidly be usable with just a skeleton crew of humans to piece them together and those humans will likely be either the absolute best of the best programmers, H1B visa workers or business analysts who use them like Lego blocks to build whatever output the business problem is requiring at a rapid pace and fraction of the current cost to develop.

Security is a totally different independent issue moving forward with potential AI hacking, quantum computing and a myriad of other considerations but none of that will impact adaption of AI code output IMO.

I see AI assisting in medicine and science but I don't see how it can replace actual person yet. Sure, lots of assistant positions will go away. Hell, we have a lot of that with automation now. I don't need to manually measure, pipette, mix, incubate, etc. when a machine can do it for me. Here is where I think AI will fall short, there isn't always a black and white answer, hell, there is almost never a black and white answer. Human judgement is valuable and doctors rely on our human judgement to make their human judgement.

If I were young today I’d look to get into plumbing, hvac, welding, etc as AI isn’t replacing those jobs.

Not sure why people keep saying this, robots will do those jobs, it's already happening in places like China.

AI=Actually Indians.

My cousin is in engineering and says it's nuts how much outsourcing there is right now.

How are national economies that are service based faring? Will they be early indicators of how it will work... or not work?

I am thinking of Singapore but there may be other examples.

It’s already widely happening across the board in all fields before AI is really impacting them. Think standards have just largely lowered.

It’s going to be a while before robots are driving to people’s homes, walking in, doing an assessment of the problems , then going get their tools and fixing the problem at a large scale.
