Exciting.

We've already had a few industrial revolutions. So far, the result has never been permanent mass unemployment, but the displacement of labor. We will see how this shifts in the context of AI. It also remains to be seen what is technically possible.

Even if I want to see an optimistic picture of the future for the time being, some of the possible paths that the future can take with AI scare me. Unemployment, obsolescence of the individual, or reduced workload.

AI could make people too efficient 🤔

@SchlaubiSchlumpf I agree with you. In my opinion, AI in combination with robotics has the potential to make human labor almost unnecessary everywhere in the long term. But only time will tell whether this will happen. Funnily enough, it could be a disaster or a stroke of luck.

What I don't believe is that AI will make people too efficient. AI makes companies, processes, ... efficient. Humans may only have to assist the AI.

...the global, fully functioning, autonomous transportation system is still missing = human obsolete 🫣

@DonkeyInvestor possible. It also depends on what is actually technically possible. graphics accelerators have stagnated a little in recent years. We'll see what further disruptions bring.

I would be happy if I only had to sleep on long car journeys at some point 😁

@MozartsGeist Drones, autonomous airplanes / trucks / trains, pipes. Comes 👍

@SchlaubiSchlumpf Moore's Law, quantum computers, AI that optimizes itself / its infrastructure, ... There is still a lot to come.

I would also love autonomous driving

@DonkeyInvestor Moore's law has been on the fritz for a while now 😅 which doesn't mean there's any game left.
Quantum computing... has to close, I have too little idea what will actually be possible in the foreseeable future.

@DonkeyInvestor true. The BSI sees the discontinuation of classic asymmetric encryption in 2030-2031. i think that's a good guideline. Although of course they are only guessing and probably leave themselves a lot of buffer

@DonkeyInvestor oooooor we are currently at peak AI hype and everything is taking 20 years longer than expected.

Show me the robot that replaces my cleaner.
Japan has spent the last decade trying to improve care with robotics, with limited success.

And don't forget that AI comes at a cost.
Give an AI agent no limit and it will burn through 3 months' salary in an afternoon with reasonable success.

I don't know what will happen, but we might look back in 5 years and think that it was pretty naive to believe that development wouldn't reach a wall at some point that could no longer be breached with computing power.

In any case, it is not a mistake to have ownership of the means of production...
Marx was right after all. 😘
