Each new technology replaces old ones, but for the better. New jobs and uses are found that replace the old ones.

Each new technology replaces old ones, but for the better. New jobs and uses are found that replace the old ones.

To flesh out my point, past technological shifts have created new jobs but AI-driven automation is unprecedented in scale and speed, replacing not just physical but cognitive and creative roles. The job market may struggle to adapt, leading to structural unemployment rather than smooth transition.

Not all that realistic, they didn't put the kettle on for a cuppa after all that hard work....

They had to cut that part of the video. The one on left proceeded to drink it not realising it didn't have a mouth. 1Billion dollar mistake ...Robot on the right began to cry, not realising it didn't have eyes.

I'm amazed they didn't just chuck it all in the bin....like...wtf we need all this stuff for?

Was waiting for Will Smith to charge in, all guns blazing, knocking his grandma's sweet potato pie all over the wall....must of cut that bit out as well!

.... and somewhere a redundant housekeeper is wondering how to make a living while her redundant lorry driver husband watches a delivery drone fly by. It really is a dystopian nightmare.

Oh I forgot they could both retrain as IT consultants

The housekeeper is now claiming a disability benefit based on P.T.S.D, watching the robots roaming around her house, and having to actually talk to her redundant lorry driver husband....again.

All the I.T. robot consultants jobs have already gone, as there is only one I.T, "brain" making all the decisions, her name is V.I.K.I.....

Holy crap, I think I know how this is going to end up....

Just in my lifetime I heard people say how technology will do this and that and how dystopian it is, and none of them have come true.

Historical technological shifts have consistently led to the creation of new industries and job opportunities.

That doesn't mean it's not painful for the individual with finite life 'power'.....and now after writing that.... I suppose it'd be foolish to focus on that drawback because that's just life.... Change brings opportunities everywhere....all the time.... It's probably a good trade off to the other side of the coin (no change)...

My lifetime covers the same period, perhaps a little longer so I've heard and seen all that too. But there's no historical precedent for what's happening this time. I'm not sure what new opportunities people think there'll be for the grandchildren that the tech won't be able to do in 20yrs time.

Before Alpha fold, we knew about 120k protein structures. We now know about 200m!

People are already freaked out by the idea of a foreigner getting their job, US/UK societal acceptance will probably come down to whether Musk paints his robots white or brown.

New tech reshaping job markets is normal, but what's new is millions of women in China happily replacing boyfriends with AI.

That'd be my concern. People feel most disconnected in the busiest of cities and each new tech compounding that effect further. How do we even begin to unravel the potential psychological ramifications there, it's all blindly driven by profit.

Reminds me of the cult movie "Her" if anyone has seen it. Impossible seems like nothing these days. The other day I finally managed to get my grandparents to use AI (Gemini) for very basic TV stuff, which I also thought impossible at one point!

One thing's for damn sure, the topic of AI will need more than a single forum thread.

I watched that for the first time the other day. The shocking thing was how it's out of date already!

Although it would be more efficient to just swap some data.
