When I was young and starting out with computers, programming, BBS’ and later the early internet, technology was something that expanded my mind, helped me to research, learn new skills, and meet people and have interesting conversations. Something decentralized that put power into the hands of the little guy who could start his own business venture with his PC or expand his skillset.
Where we are now with AI, the opposite seems to be happening. We are asking AI to do things for us rather than learning how to do things ourselves. We are losing our research skills. Many people are talking to AI’s about their problems instead of other people. And they will take away our jobs and centralize all power into a handful of billionaire sociopaths with robot armies to carry out whatever nefarious deeds they want to do.
I hope we somehow make it through this part of history with some semblance of freedom and autonomy intact, but I’m having a hard time seeing how.
Future of health care workers?. This footage is real time autonomous movement. Not sped up, not teleoperated.
The fact that you think I clean houses only serves to prove how little you understand what I do.
Maybe you don’t, but I have a father in assisted living and know for a fact that there are an awful lot of nursing jobs that don’t look particularly different than this. AI will start with the hardest diagnosis tasks first, and at some point start doing the easiest physical ones. Then it will eat away the stuff in the middle gradually. This is one of the most needed areas for non human labor so it will be one of the most heavily focused on.
