One of the main selling points is to save money by not having to pay employees, so the argument that it creates jobs doesn’t really make sense

[@thomasbrogan8036]

Your perspective strains with an extruded mental aperture. You will comply. I am not a robot.

[@ThomasTomiczek]

Depends on the numbers and productivity. if you create a new job to replace a human - but the new job has 20x the output as it essentially overlooks the robots, and AI - and there is a demand - then the human will still be hired. Your view is naive as you assume static output.

[@adamozmin8970]

Automation killed a lot of jobs in the car manufacturing industry but cheap affordable cars that came opened up the need for new roads creating a huge construction boom. The new roads gave opportunities for people to travel cheaply and find work at further distances. This new labour market spawned jobs in almost every sector. I don’t think this will be the same though

[@ThomasTomiczek]

@@adamozmin8970 There is no chance it will be the same. First, it is primarily not a new consumer element outside the robots themselves (which will be a major market - and Tesla likely dominates it). Second, it is an attack on work in general. Automation did not build roads at this point - robots and AI replace humans. The main limiting factor will not be AI - servers multitask well -but robots. A robot does not multitask easily (one body in one place) and we need a LOT of them - building them will take years. The first billion will be swallowed up and rarely be seen on the road. It will take a decade or two to really replace all humans where bodies are needed. AI - will do that a lot faster, but only for things that can be done... well, remember COVID? "Oh, I can work from home". Yeah, so can AI ;)

[@MrTask4ce]

One of the possible outcomes is not needing the money from a job in the first place, so this whole job thing would only be a temporary problem.

[@stephschlemann1163]

As a fan of Musk's motivations and achievements I'm not too disappointed on his AI views with respect to the job market. I know I sound like a Musk apologist however, the topic has really polarized many tech specialists and commentators. My biggest concern with AI or LLM tech is their potential to increase unemployment. Unlike previous tech revolutions (e.g. steam engine, automobile, computer etc), the new jobs created by AI will be performed, in the main, by AI.. I really hope I'm wrong however, I recall in the 1980's the UK had 10% unemployment and people rioted in the streets over the poll tax (instead of venting their anger in the ballot box). Should AI result in double digit unemployment (say a modest 20%) the ensuing civil unrest could seriously undermine democratic societies.

we're never going to run out of things to do problem is can your average fast food worker adapt, new jobs opening for spaceship commander wont mean much if the job is to complex for average person

[@AG-fg1uk]

​@@NanohamageThat's why AI should be used to enhance human capability. AI should be developed to help train "average" human to become a space commander. But that's wishful thinking because we live in a greedy, selfish society. Big corporation CEOs don't care about the common man's plight. All they care about is filling their pockets. World leaders don't want lead competent civilians, they would rather lead demoralized, ignorant, misinformed humans.

[@sircasino614]

Yeah, new jobs that those who were replaced can't do. Coding isn't a common skill. And ai can code... so fuck it all. Don't replace jobs, let it become a tool for those who already have those jobs to make it easier. Everything still needs a human touch.

[@EmilKlingberg]

I mean, right now, with the prices of the most fundamental good skyrocketing, age of abundance doesn't sound to bad. Food, Housing, Power, Security all things that are increasingly difficult to get your hands on.

[@mycount64]

By the early 1980s, there was enough of everything for everyone on the planet. It's not that we don't have the means. Humans don't have the values to share freely.

[@Ms-zr1dn]

I actually can't wait for it to replace almost all jobs. Why should we eventually still be doing meaningless tasks that can perfectly be done by an AI or robot? To perpetuate the social "game" that labor is? Labor comes from latin "laborare", which means "to strive, exert oneself, suffer, be in distress". In French, we say "travail", which comes directly from "tripalium", an ancient instrument of torture. I understand that we still haven't achieved the point where AI or robots are able to relieve us from this biblical curse, but once it's ready, why not? I think it's quite short-sighted to consider that the nature and destiny of the human species is to work, and that its main source of value. Humans, like all other animals, are valuable by themselves.

[@oui2611]

the thing is wether we like it or not we have to accept it, otherwise we will start a war against it and that could lead us to human extinction far quicker

There should really be a hard hardware limit embedded into these AI's. Meaning that for no reason it could override its firmware to spread to other systems (Like escaping the macOS environment to infiltrate other networks and replicate itself.

[@jedics1]

Im always wary when a billionaire says something will "improve all our lives". If you thought inequality is a thing now imagine when Ai and robots can do all the work for rich people, we will be even less useful than peasants of medievil times. Ai progress is exciting and interesting to watch evolve but human rights is not keeping up which means it will almost certainly be a very ugly future for an ever increasing amount of people unless there is a drastic change in direction on multiple fronts and given money already owns everything and everyone that matters that is an unlikely outcome.

[@IzzyE-jv7vn]

With Elon's robots taking the working classes, the army and the labour intensive jobs and AI taking all the middle classes, experts and creative jobs, I don't see this abundance happening but for those who already have it. Not sure he was honest in this interview, a bit cagy.

How can there be existential angst with all the beauty in the world? We can work hard to restore our connection with nature and heal the land and beings that are suffering ❤ 🙏

[@Svemirsky]

Problem is not AI replacing jobs. Problem is not having educated workforce for new jobs & not having new replacement jobs fast enough. Supply and demand. Unemployment makes people behave in chaotic ways.

[@jinxxpwnage]

This is possible only if companies consider %90 of their output be done by AI while humans account as a %10 bonus. Meaning the economy is just boosted and all salaries remain the same.

[@XIOnce-dz6kw]

So that means they can achieve 90% output with less humans... enough to reach 90% without the human bonus will be a metric they'll die for.

[@jinxxpwnage]

@@XIOnce-dz6kw I've come to this conclusion because I think as AI gradually takes over most jobs, we'll face a crucial decision point. One possibility is unrest, even a revolt against AI, leading us to halt it. Another option is implementing Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a solution. But let's be real, getting UBI right is no walk in the park. it's going to take time and fine-tuning. In the meantime, a practical way could be to keep human labor in the mix as a bonus while we refine UBI alongside AI advancement. Essentially, while a revolt could cause chaos and harm, nailing down a smooth UBI transition might take longer than we'd like

[@XIOnce-dz6kw]

@@jinxxpwnage There still be jobs that can’t be done with AI. I say human capital will just naturally shift towards what is actually needed, and leave grunt and repetitive work to AI. But like you say, some people will be without a job, and need to be retrained and paid, and those essential workers would need an incentive to continue working while getting UBI. Like you have two options, live comfortably and not work, or help people because you want to and get access to even more resources.

[@PsychicAlchemy]

AI can be useful for some things, but much like a stagnant mind full of inbred ideas, it will quickly decay without real life experience. _Especially_ as it becomes more common and polluted from other AI outputs. Big companies and grifters will try to replace real workers for a while, but it won't be massively effective in the long run. Human beings are too valuable. Automation more generally, however, is of great concern. We have to stop thinking in terms of jobs, and start figuring out a more sustainable economic system. Like Adam Smith and Henry George, I believe the answer lies in ground rents. Ground rents are the unearned increment on a perfectly inelastic necessity, and thus the price would _decrease_ with taxation. Thus, if we replace our tax broken tax system with a single tax on ground rents, it will free up stagnant resources and decrease the cost of living dramatically. We can then get rid of our massive government bureaucracy, and just give the money right back to the populace. Over time, this will naturally correct all sorts of issues, even reimbursing the public for all the wealth stolen through unjust use of force of all kinds.
