    Since most jobs are crap, we should stop expanding the population and give the world a break. aI can have the bad jobs.

    I think the non-intelligent machines are actually taking far more jobs.

    How long are we from a day where there will be no jobs available for a person of average intelligence?

    When they have an AI that can stock groceries I will worry about my job

    We already have a predictive ordering system that creates more work by ordering things we don’t need

    What more could I ask for?

    Imagine how tedious an AI-generated comic strip would be. Copying and pasting the same character images day after day…

    On the latest DMZ Stanti bemoans the fact that inflation is the #1 concern of the FED. Here’s the deal, Stanti, inflation, right or wrong, is the #1 concern for the vast majority of Americans who currently had jobs, and the ones who don’t have jobs don’t like it much, either. You may want to jot that note down. Or have you not caught the notion that this has been the biggest voter complaint against Biden the last 3 years, despite the reality that the inflation was caused by Covid?:

    When I started my job in 1981 I needed 1 clipboard and 2 pieces of paper to do the necessary paperwork which took about 15 min at the end of the workday to fill out just before I clocked out. When I was retired in 1998,doing the same job I had started with in 1981, I needed 2 clipboards, 10 pieces of paper[which I had to first fill out then copy into 1 of the computers as they wanted paper to back up everything] 1 of the 3 computer was a total stand alone used only for daily backing up the main system and one was a handheld. The increase in paperwork took about 2.5 hours to fill out every day. Going to a computerized system made the job harder, not easier.
