I see Elon Musk is attacking South Africa again. Let me post, once again, what I personally think of Elon. The day will come when Elon will be forced to face his lies. For now, we watch him use his echo chamber to spread lies, half truths, misinformation & propaganda filled narratives. Remember you can be rich & still an a*hole.

In the Bible, the story of Jesus being led into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil is a profound narrative that underscores the intricate relationship between divine will and human experience. It highlights the paradoxical nature of faith wherein, despite God’s omnipotence and benevolence, individuals often find themselves grappling with trials and tribulations, much like Jesus did in the desert. This narrative challenges the notion that God’s will is always aligned with comfort and ease, instead suggesting that adversity and testing are integral components of spiritual growth and understanding. Hence, when people fervently pray for solutions to their challenges, they may inadvertently overlook the fact that the very trials they face could be part of God’s intricate plan for their personal development. Just as Jesus confronted his temptations in the wilderness, so too must individuals confront their own challenges, trusting that God’s presence and guidance are steadfast even in the midst of adversity. Therefore, rather than solely seeking to pray away their difficulties, individuals are encouraged to embrace them as opportunities for spiritual refinement, recognizing that God has already equipped them with the strength and resilience to navigate life’s wildernesses.

I hope I’m wrong but hear me out: This is the real threat to jobs and life as we have defined, live and know them, today. The “future of work” and the “future of warfare” and the “future of life” is going to be fundamentally displaced from what we had originally thought. And not in a good way. For war: Imagine soldiers that have no human emotion or sense of empathy. With accelerated development in AI and ML, it’s dystopian Universal Soldiers on steroids. For education: Imagine a school where the teachers are programmed bots that connect to a central intelligence system everyday, update their knowledge database and teach real world on-the-fly up-to-the-day updated teaching content. For work: Imagine the receptionist who doesn’t need to take doesn’t need a tea break, the factory worker who doesn’t take leave. Frankly. I’m scared I will lose clients bathong. For governments: Imagine the police officer who can work endless shifts without fatigue, the port managers who can work endless days or the public transport taxi or train driver who can work without stopping for days on end. And because they are connected to a central intelligence system, every day they improve. With every systems update these bots improve and their unit productivity while per unit cost remains fixed. This sounds quite dystopian but here is my point: The world needs a treatise on HOW WE ARE GOING TO HANDLE THESE TECHNOLOGIES before they become ubiquitous. We should certainly have one before we ship them into households of civilians. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I’ve watched too much dystopian sci-fi. But we have barely got a handle on how large language models are reframing work and study. The number of students submitting AI generated work has skyrocketed. As is it today drones are being used to drop medicines in Rwanda and bombs in the Middle East at the same time. This is what happens when you unleash a technology without thinking about the societal and ethical questions of that technology. Maybe - and this is a wild idea - we should take a moment’s pause and think. Maybe just letting things happen is not a bright idea. Maybe Skynet is already alive. 👀 Footnote: the most adversely affected countries will be the poorest ones which will be the last to get access to this technology, probably at the highest cost with often outdated technologies. Yet, these technologies are most likely to displace those economies most pronounced at first. By the way, does any African country have a strategy on how to deal with these technology? Asking for a friend. What are your thoughts? Sorry for the lecture. VT
