Now you have to play people for complexity.

2018-07-26 17:52:57 UTC  

Yes, it's CURRENTY inflexible.

2018-07-26 17:52:58 UTC  

Which is even harder.

2018-07-26 17:53:09 UTC  

The manufacturing is more flexible but the engineering is much harder.

2018-07-26 17:53:13 UTC  

I agree, AI is not inflexible.

2018-07-26 17:53:31 UTC  

AI right now is very much not what people think it is. It's very inflexible.

2018-07-26 17:53:35 UTC  

well thats the point Pratel

You replace 100's of builders, for a machine

And you keep the engineers working

2018-07-26 17:53:45 UTC  

You don't even do that.

2018-07-26 17:53:55 UTC  

You still need someone to survey and install.

2018-07-26 17:53:56 UTC  

Again, you're thinking big dumb robots, AI is not a big dumb robot. It's a robot that can learn for thousands of other robots.

2018-07-26 17:54:05 UTC  

Uh. I'm in AI.

2018-07-26 17:54:14 UTC  

It also has hard, dumb limits

2018-07-26 17:54:17 UTC  

AI is trained on very specific tasks at the moment.

2018-07-26 17:54:26 UTC  

This make the argument much better than I can.

2018-07-26 17:54:41 UTC  

About robots.

2018-07-26 17:55:06 UTC  

Can you summarize it?

2018-07-26 17:55:17 UTC  

I can't just scan a video.

2018-07-26 17:55:30 UTC  

Don't

2018-07-26 17:55:46 UTC  

Watch it.

2018-07-26 17:56:30 UTC  

If this is yet another "robot cars are replacing truckers" and "Deepmind is going to create strong AI and replace humanity video"...

2018-07-26 17:56:58 UTC  

Not replace humanity.

2018-07-26 17:57:08 UTC  

But replace many if not most jobs.

2018-07-26 17:57:37 UTC  

If it's just "AI will replace jobs" argument, we've seen that since the Luddites.

2018-07-26 17:57:51 UTC  

It shifts the optimal point of the economy and people do other stuff.

2018-07-26 17:57:54 UTC  

Yes, this time is not the same.

2018-07-26 17:58:03 UTC  

Why is this not the same?

2018-07-26 17:58:16 UTC  

Watch the video?

2018-07-26 17:58:23 UTC  

It addresses that point.

2018-07-26 17:58:33 UTC  

I got a hunch I've heard it before.

2018-07-26 17:58:51 UTC  

And I don't have time to sit through a 15 minute CCP Grey video.

2018-07-26 17:59:00 UTC  

GCP

2018-07-26 17:59:09 UTC  

whatever.

2018-07-26 17:59:23 UTC  

If the argument is that this time their coming for the white collar jobs.

2018-07-26 17:59:39 UTC  

The Luddites were upset that automation was coming for farming and skilled manufacturing.

2018-07-26 18:00:07 UTC  

Okay fine, name a job that can't be automated.

2018-07-26 18:00:09 UTC  

They were sorta right. Not as many people farm any more and we don't line up 100s of people in a workshop to make firearms one-by-one anymore.

2018-07-26 18:00:17 UTC  

What's the job that we're moving people into.

2018-07-26 18:00:18 UTC  

But farming and skilled manufacturing is still around.

2018-07-26 18:00:32 UTC  

Arts for one.

2018-07-26 18:00:44 UTC  

I'm getting slowmo'd.
