That's not how any of that works, at all... like, I don't mean to be rude, but seriously, no. That's an idea even Roland Emmerich would pass on.

I knew you were young based off of this post. Spend another 5 years in IT and you'll see why we have nothing to fear. We are still far away from actual AI. That's when we will have to start worrying.

Umm.. any solar flare while the earths magnetic is pratically gone during the swap is going cause a shitload of problems

Nah you're in great shape and now is a better time than ever to be in this sphere.

Will your job look like it does now in ten years? All too likely not, but mine looks nothing like it did two decades ago and I am so thankful for that.

What you should do, though, is take a look at the trends that are happening right now in ML and AI in general. You will be working with GPT and other tech like it one way or another. We're on the ground floor of another really big technological revolution and you're just starting out, but at one of the best times.

If the nasdaq-100 gives an annualized return of 5-6%, I'll have around 12M USD give or take so I think I'll be hiring full time help for sure.

or maybe being active is the overall factor in this study?

>More than sixty scientists from prominent institutions are advocating for rigorous study into reflecting sunlight away from the Earth to mitigate the effects of climate change.

>Air pollution is currently “masking” as much as a third of the impacts of global warming, and as regulations around the world tighten, the amount of global warming will be “unmasked.”

>As the effects of climate change become more acute, pressure to use sunlight-reflection technologies will rise, so scientists argue we need international study now.

My chiropractor and this study agree that, for my life goals, avoid lifting heavy objects.

This would only work once you destroy every single religion on Earth, which is bad...and then take away every single firearm from every single American.
Tyranny is tyranny. That's all this "idea" reads as. Mao had some of these very same thoughts. Maybe check the path of histories greatest murderers first before you start espousing the same ideologies and "ideas"...

CGP grey has an amazing video on all of this that might be helpful for OP. I it's called "the simple secret of runway digits"

Bro: embrace AI. It will be doing work for you. If you learn to use it, you'll be more efficient and faster at your job.

As someone cleverly said a few weeks ago: AI isn't going to steal your job. Some other programmer using AI will.

Be that programmer.

Like "Unreasonable risk" to human health has ever stopped the actions of the US Government/corporations.

Good luck having enough energy and ability to keep up with toddlers when you’re 55

I didn't because I figure it's assuming everyone reading it is in the US. They're not

Yep, any ethics that doesn't involve reflexivity and rigorous questioning is likely to go off the rails.

Advice I would give anyone concerned about competing with AI: change the context so you're not in direct competition.

One approach would be to ride the wave. Experiment with new AI-enabled tools as they are released, and learn their limitations. Then you will have a relative advantage over those unfamiliar with the tools, and will be able to identify potential ways to leverage and complement their capabilities. You'll then be able to provide expertise with regard to how to properly use these tools, and not overspend on tools which are a poor fit to the job at hand. Think Gartner, but more hands on.

Let me know if this works for you, but I expect the approach should get you past analysis paralysis and replace fear with reasoned concern.

Well 183 times that we have evidence for in the last 83 my, oceanic crust doesn’t last long so we really don’t know how many times in total.

And if you’ve ever had to clean up after (insert favorite target trade here), you know they leave a site like lions leaving a half eaten carcass. Freaking mess.

Let’s say sparkies just for example. :)

Wow, 10 years to do less than 40% of household chores?

And I thought I was lazy spreading them out over a few weekends.

I've been reading a lot about domestic violence lately so at first misread this headline... now wondering about that being automated too.

I'm saying

"Pay attention to trends. What you state as impossible is happening incrementally despite the protests of theory."

cf. xeno's paradox; theories limited by excessive parameters will fail.

Also: maybe the universality doesn't need to be as totalizing as you assume for a global ethics platform to succeed. We aren't talking about total consensus; as hominids we are wired to have some kind of minority opposition to keep evolving. In practical terms a consensus can be 'good enough'--how you decide where to draw the lines is an interesting but necessarily drawn out discussion.
