It has begun my brothers and sisters

I mean we aren't even at the 1% of human total civilization potential but we will stop and give up because 0.00000001% of the population who commenting subreddit think so.

The robot can do a backflip after retrieving your tools now.
Wobbly little things just years ago.

People are on this sub need to go outside, just do it most people work on a bullshit skilless job and still make good money to own a house, provide for a family, cars, vacations, etc.

There will be always jobs, in fact I expect the next decades to have jobs shortages.

Like it or not we are still on the early stages of human civilization we still have many relative short milestones like Mars landing, AI, Healthcare, robotics, metaverse, etc. Thinking there won't be jobs this early means you should go outside and stop being delusional, I get the flying cars vibes from the past.

​

I personally I'm giving all on AI development and research.

I agree with nursing but for different reasons. That making machines that replace the complex movements and diverse amount of tasks that a nurse completes would be very costly rather than keeping human labor.

Truth be told, my hypothesis is most would rather have an AI interface intertwined with customer service protocols, than a most likely overworked healthcare worker that becomes burnt out by the endless sub par treatment from fellow humans. AI wouldn’t have to worry about burn out, fatigue, and emotion

I expect most healthcare to become glorified nurses with AI handling a majority of all diagnosis and instruction to staff. Surgeons & ER Doctors will be relatively safe but expect shrinkage even in those positions because of the optimization of senior positions

Mods can pin a post on Roko's Basilisk to scare away the cultists and preserve quality of the sub.

I like it!

Thoughts on adding:

-Brain machine interfaces: How will that impact your daily life? I can imagine using it to surpess hunger to loose weight and then ramp up enjoyment when eating (healthy?) food.

-Full VR: How does this impact life? ?Helpful to have a display you can always access to show you information/entertainment. What about 'holodeck' worlds? Do you do campaigns with your friends in full dive VR?

-AI companion: Do you have an AI companion there? How often do you interact with it? How do you communicate with it?

-Housing: Where do you live? Do you live in nature because you can get internet anywhere on the planet? Do you live in little communes?

-Health: What kind of monitoring do you have for your body? Do you get custom made drugs for optimal health? How long are you expected to live for? Is there anti aging?

Would be intersted to hear your thoughts on any of these!

That's how it's supposed to look. Singularity

"Computational knowledge engine"

Maybe the last hoorah for trying to hardcode intelligence into computers.

Idk Emory

Am I supposed to know what that means?

No one knows.

Previous Industrial Revolutions brought with them tons of automation... Out of that fell new jobs and industry.

We're still scratching the surface of Machine Learnings potential. With what we have now, we can imagine Art and other creative works being done by machine, something that was previously thought to be impossible.

Most people (including me) might say Blue Collar work like plumbing or electrician based work. While stuff like that is a safe bet, it's also worth pointing out that that kind of work assumes that humans are still doing the design work for plumbing systems and construction. If A.I replaces design work for those jobs, it could also be within reason to develop other machines to automate the hard labor away. Think of those 3D House Printing robots. No humans required to build those. Why wouldn't someone take the next step and automate the maintenance jobs away too? After all, humans are fallible, machines, if programed correctly, are not. Machines would be the best entity to repair a machine designed house.

I could also say something like IT work or programming. Despite what people would say here, we're still at least fifteen years away from replacing those kinds of jobs. Most work done in that space comes from other humans needing engineers to design solution for difficult, human-based problems. The old joke is "Good luck getting human beings to describe their problems well enough for a machine to comprehend and solve." The punch line thus being that humans are awful at telling other humans what they want. A machine would need a perfectly understandable problem in order to solve it.

But even this is hard to predict. ChatGPT is pretty good at what it does, and it can write basic programs for basic problems. Will more advanced versions be able to suss out the nuance from a human enough to program a solution? That's yet to be seen.

I can tell you first hand that Animation as a tool is an area of active automation research. Hand animating is hard, time consuming, and expensive. Its in everyone's best interest to automate that stuff away. But automating that is also very difficult: you have to inherently rely on Graphics Engines that operate on specialized, usually memory light, environments. You can't employ usual Machine Learning methods here because employing those tools is runtime intensive. From a Video Game perspective, where frame rate is potentially the most important thing, that's a nonstarter: if employing an ML tool to automate animation causes significant lag, that tool will be tossed by the wayside.

This topic is all nuance. You would really need to deeply dive into each particular career path in a novel way in order to get grounded answers to your general question.

Ok Debbie

As PTerry said, in his book Making Money, 'hope is the blessing and the curse of humanity'.

Our social intelligence evolves constantly in a homeostatic balance between hope and dread, between our dreams and our nightmares.

Like a sodium-potassium pump in a lipid bilayer, the constant cycling around a dynamic, homeostatic fulcrum generates the fundamental 'creative force' that drives the accreting complexity of evolution.

I think it's an emergent property of causality; evolution is 'driven', fundamentally, by simple entropy: the stacking up of causal interactions between fundamental particles of reality, that generates emergent complexity and 'randomness' within the phenomena of spacetime.

Even just seven years ago, this kind of competency in a language model would have seemed to most to be unrealistic in the near term. I'm very skeptical of machine learning as a field. Have been for many years. But I can't deny I'm impressed and surprised at the rate of progress.

Hence, the paradox.

The only thing I've thought of is something like universal basic income.. Eventually leading into a post scarcity society, where goods are so abundant that 99% of goods don't require money to purchase.

[deleted]

is that what you do?

Think self employed entrepreneur

how will people afford to buy art when there are no jobs left?

therapists? addiction counselors ? thats about all i cam think of. possibly lawyers

Yes. That's a major achievement in medicine.

That does not in any way, shape, or form "completely change humanity."

Chump.

Here ya go chump:

AlphaFold has the potential to significantly advance the field of structural biology, which is the study of the three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules such as proteins. By accurately predicting the 3D structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence, AlphaFold can help researchers better understand how proteins function, and aid in the discovery of new drugs and therapies.

Protein structure prediction is a long-standing challenge in computational biology, and many researchers have been working on the problem for decades. AlphaFold's ability to achieve near-experimental accuracy in many cases is a major breakthrough in this field, and has the potential to accelerate the pace of research in structural biology and related areas.

It could also have an impact in the industry. For example, in the field of drug discovery, a better understanding of protein structure can help identify new targets for drug development and design more effective drugs. In addition, AlphaFold's ability to predict the structures of previously uncharacterized proteins could help identify new enzymes for industrial biotechnology and new proteins for use in biomanufacturing.

Overall, AlphaFold's ability to accurately predict protein structures could have a major impact in various areas of biology and medicine, and could lead to new breakthroughs in the fight against diseases and the development of new technologies.
