And we have to sort this stuff out right now, because the tech is here.

Self-driving cars and trucks, and Google Duplex are going to basically eliminate humans from tens of millions of jobs in the next ten years.

And in those ten years more tech is going to be created which disrupt more sectors.

And there is political deadlock everywhere.

I have a buddy who works in a call center. That's already an untenable job in a wealthy western country.

Now that Google Duplex exists he's got a year or two at best at that job.

As someone who takes pride in work, you're already spelling out nightmare fuel for me...

Work will still exist, but wages are going to go down for everyone in the middle of the IQ distribution.

Like nobody wants to have their arse wiped by a cold metal claw so nurses are still safe.

Speak for yourself

Ditto for therapists and any other job specifically requiring a human touch or human empathy.

heheh

But you're going to have more and more people forced into competing in those sectors so wages are going to go down regardless.

The good news is, is that you can get more nurses, teachers, etc for the same money. So that's an improvement.

Sports will still be safe

and inovations

and op eds

Anything that requires people at the extreme ends of the ability distribution.

As will other branches of entertainment

But if you're not a 130+ IQ person, or a 10/10 model, etc, you're looking at increased competition.

imagine public AI

In fact, without day jobs, these areas would likely thrive.

you make it develope your idea.. and you offer it on the market

This sort of thing would only be remotely possible in a one world government, though, I think...

I think what we're going to see in the near term is increased support for UBI or some sort of income supplementation program like negative income tax, along with societal change taking advantage at the dropping cost of mundane human labor.

i don't think it would be without ai managing all laws and adjusting to basic human rights

Mundane human labor like servants basically.

Illegal Mexican workers are going to start facing competition from legal workers.

Laborers and nannies and gardeners.

And the stay-at-home mom is gonna make a comeback.

if you have nothing to do and you like to be outside you will manage your own garden... many people find it enjoyable

If you can afford to have a garden you have something to do.

The stay at home mom was lost to inflation.

Actually it remains to be seen whether it'll be a stay-at-home mom or a stay-at-home dad that becomes the norm. Men might find themselves out of luck in a job market that places more value on people skills, human touch, and empathy.

sports

There's a saturation point to that market, and nobody wants to pay to see joe average. They want to pay to see people who are 3 standard deviations above the mean.

also i think cops will be replaced with machine you will guide from somewhere else (video game)

In societies today with extreme wealth disparity, traditional police are often supplemented with private security services for wealthy neighborhoods. See South Africa.

so does any of you know how many ppl in the world have at least 1 mil dollars? 10, 20 million? I know there is at least 1k billionairs

1% would be more than 70 mil

~~the top 1% in the United States alone earn around $200,000 a year.~~
