I’m just hearing the big AI labs more and more telling everyone that they are going to lose their jobs, that everything will change into a very dark and crazy future, and that the only solution is to pay them more money. To be honest, what I think when I hear that is, “You’re fucking doing it, mfs” Probably more people think the same, and even worse. I don’t know exactly what will happen, but it feels like there will be a “kill. or be killed” reaction from the people who feel displaced by this new paradigm, which is a quite large part of the population.

I often wonder what 'most people' will do, but I have no idea and have no control over it so I do my own thing and help other people escape whenever possible
My take on it is it’s to a large extent mixing media propaganda made so more money goes to AI with the actual dangers it poses when implementing in places where we humans bare but safety rails, fear still sells. It helps in my view to look at the last times things since the industrial revolution upgraded and displaced allot of people, first they rally against it and then you’ll have to live with the new normal and adapt to live symbiotic. Deriving meaning from work is still very possible but will just look different.
Taking it into the autonomous killing agents zone is scary though 😆 but I now haven’t worked in robotics for 2 years so no clue on the progress 👀
AI labs perpetuating fear to line their pockets, sounds like a classic power grab.
