hmm, this is fair question…is our optimism privilege-driven?

There won’t be jobs to be filled by humans that pay meaningfully. Every employer has the same incentive to cut costs. Make the human mind and body redundant and there are few remaining points of leverage to build a case for a salary on. Frontier lab leaders have sugar coated.

Thinking about subscribing to Hedgeye? Don’t take our word for it. Listen to portfolio manager @Mike_Taylor1972—one of the best in the game—on why Hedgeye is a must-have for investors. 🔊

Mo was great in this episode. I find that most people in positions of influence in the AI space are glossing over the average people who just aren't ever going to become experts with AI and turn it into a business. We know some will do that, but not most.

I think you're mostly surrounded by entrepreneurial people. Most people aren't like that. Job loss will affect most people immediately, they have no savings. They will be in deep trouble.

All jobs are good as gone. Period. Between AI, automation and robotics, the workforce is nearly no longer required. If by 2050 we still have "work for the right to exist" jobs, then humanity will have MASSIVELY failed. Nothing Utopic here, just grounded, Rational Optimism, extrapolating from current tech. We can, and should, truly liberate humanity and create universal abundance.

WOW ... this TRUTH hit hard ... I live in a world of Luxury Problems today ... So @PeterDiamandis @MGawdat ... what infrastructure do we need to build to start upskilling? What will be considered upskills for the future? I sincerely want to build this and to work on this ...

Mo is such a legend, and I feel the core truth - we must move forward together, as one global human family. Gratitude and respect to you all!

yes look at the protests in LA what do you think is going to happen when there’s 40% unemployment and “figuring it out” is just planning bombings on robotics factories there’s not a plan for these people, and they’ll have nothing to lose. I don’t understand ai optimism

No one can escape the uncertainty of the future. Human action cannot be guided as some social scientists would pretend, and there are no fixed answers. New needs and new jobs will be created, driven by human creativity.

He has a point. Avoiding listening to the less privileged and afraid is counterproductive to the smooth development of technology

Using Winston Churchill's words, rich countries have "prosperity problems" and poor countries have "poverty problems". The former are preferable to the latter, but they are still problems (and, usually, harder to solve).
