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.

2018-07-26 18:00:58 UTC  

Hollywood is making more money than before.

2018-07-26 18:01:17 UTC  

Art is an attention based economy, you can't just retrain people to be an artists.

2018-07-26 18:01:26 UTC  

What?

2018-07-26 18:01:34 UTC  

No, you just do what you want.

2018-07-26 18:01:48 UTC  

Sure, attention is limited, but that's everything in this world.

2018-07-26 18:02:03 UTC  

How are they going to make money?

2018-07-26 18:02:20 UTC  

Making stuff people care about.

2018-07-26 18:02:48 UTC  

For who, other artists?

2018-07-26 18:02:56 UTC  

Whomever cares to watch it.

2018-07-26 18:03:05 UTC  

You're not replacing all engineers and surveyors.
