I haven't seen Kim Komando in forever. I think she's been around the interwebz as long as I have.

If I'm out running errands while her show is on I listen to it. She freaks me out because she doesn't look like her voice.

Anyway, she's right - we're in the third Terminator movie. Then there's Bill Gates saying humans will become obsolete.....

I used to tell my trainer at the gym that I wanted to be the Terminator lady but I didn't really mean that, so seriously....these psychos need to stop.

The cake is baked, the LLMs have already taken over. Skilled folks literally give their tasks to virtual agents and they are returning tested, vetted, concise code. I fully believe the next several years are going to see a level of layoffs of the white collared class similar to when the factories in Asia shut down the mills in Appalachia (yes, I have family old enough to talk about those days).

And it's not just code, like she said, it's everything that is electronic.

Then we have to ask what happens when all those people are out of work?

We'll find out, a lot of folks have found themselves in similar situations before, maybe with not so much official education. Clever folks will adapt, those who can't, won't, then it'll be a new carriage for the democrats to support.

"the damage of AI!"

Can I bet on this Kalshi?

So far my experience with AI is - it's like an extremely intelligent nerd. (I use it a lot at work). It can do incredible things, but it often misses the obvious. It can plan, forecast, but it doesn't always anticipate NEW problems. I've had to go through stuff it's done and undo a lot, because it wants a 100 dollar solution to a ten cent problem.

The only thing I can warn anyone is, should AI prove malevolent, at least live your life so that nothing is dependent on it.

Yeah, that's been my read on things as well. I don't believe skilled manual labor jobs will be as affected as white collar work will be - emphasis on "as affected" because fields like automotive repair are growing increasingly impacted by labor shortages.

The next covid happens. They still need babies for their satanic sh*t they get up to, so they need people, which means they're not going to whack everyone. They'll save the ones who are the most prolific, and the world will look like "Idiocracy" meets Africa, collectively.

I wonder if that woman wear panties.

FWIW, yesterday my lunch sandwich arrived at my table via a robot. The servers don't have to leave the dining area. 'Roberto' brings the food from the kitchen. Then promptly returns back to where it came from.

I have no idea if Roberto understands spanish. You think it would. Parts of NJ are starting to look like el salvador.

My son-in-law is 'rican. His mom still lives in Camden. He's retired from NJ as a corrections officer. According to him, you're not wrong.

Having said that, I'm pretty sure "New Jersey" is Sanskrit for "corrupt beyond repair," or something. Are eye-ties Hispanic adjacent?
