And there are not nearly as many people mixing concrete by hand today as there were before the invention of the mechanical concrete mixer.
Sure not every instance of manual labor will go to robots for example when the job is too small to bother with just like someone might mix up concrete by hand for a small batch that is not worth renting a mechanical mixer.
But also, just like I can rent a concrete mixer from Home Depot for the weekend we will probably be able rent robots for the weekend too.
Personally I don’t look forward to the day when I am competing with 100 other people for the job of mixing up one bag of concrete because it’s not worth renting a robot to do it. Doing back breaking labor for Pennies because I am competing against robots and a ton of other people out of work.

Robots don’t complain to HR. Robots don’t fail drug and background checks. Robots don’t ask for raises or start drama with their coworkers. Robots will work 24/7 without complaint and if they get damaged won’t file a workman’s compensation claim.
Given the choice most companies would switch to robots due to these reasons alone.

Reply to Discussion: the goal of human existence should be avoiding the heat death of the universe by Mickeymousse1
I would say humans extending life/ becoming immortal is first. Then finding a way to live in another solar system second.
If we aren’t around for the end of the universe then what does it matter?

So let me make sure I understand you. You don’t think someone should go into tech yet you say a non tech person can’t code with AI? You are not being consistent.
This whole conversation is based on conjecture and speculation. You accuse me of only citing my feeling yet you have provided no evidence. Feel free to drop in some facts or citations to anything you said and stop being hypocritical.

You are delusional in thinking a non tech person can just tell a chatbot to build an entire, complex program from scratch without a technical person who can ensure it is correct.
Sure we may be there one day but by the time that happens we will be so far fucked that this entire conversation is meaningless. Either we have reworked our entire economy or we have descended into economic hell where no one earns money.
Technical jobs might be easier but they will still have to exist to oversee this whole process.

Tech is still where it’s at. AI can write code but someone has to know coding to ask for the code and to know if it’s right. AI will write the wrong code with the greatest of confidence. You can’t just get some AI to write some code and throw it out into production without testing and knowing if it will work.
We still don’t have (full on human)robots, so robotics will be huge while that catches up.
IT support. Users can’t even articulate what the issue is with their computer. “It’s broken” is all I can get out of them half the time. I had one guy accidentally close his app and he just kept saying the computer shut down. It was powered on, it never lost power he just closed his browser window somehow by accident.
So while AI will take some of the stress of front line IT Helpdesk support we still will need people to interpret the idiot users and change their printer ink for a while.

Reply to Is Shyamalan the best ever director at implementing an atmosphere that encompasses a movie? by DepressedPBKSfan
He is good at it but there are others. Tarantino is one. Another director is Chris Nolan who is also controversial like Shamalan because his later work has fallen off.

Reply to comment by darthbadger72 in has anyone walked out a movie due to a misleading opening? by LegoMong
I didn’t walk out but I remember my friends dragging me to see it - almost literally. We were hanging out with some friends in a different town, I didn’t drive and it was the late showing and they decided to go see the movie. I never heard of it, what they described sounded stupid and it was late and I just wanted to go home.
We roll up to this busted ass cinema, dirty and gross and people were literally smoking pot and drinking (loudly) in the theater. It was not a nice part of town. So the movie starts off like some normal movie. I was tired and half falling asleep and bored out of my mind until they get to the bar and the vampires. Before this I would have walked out, I just wanted to go home. However at this point I woke the fuck up and got into the movie. Biggest turn around of a movie I have ever experienced.

It’s probably free but you probably only get care to get you down off the immediate emergency. Once you have calmed down it’s back to paying for care and waiting 3 months for an appointment where they ignore you and do nothing.

It so much depends on how they set it up. Sometimes it will work sometimes it won’t. Sometimes if you pick the prompt for Spanish you will get someone who speaks Spanish but they usually also speak English. So sometimes that works.
