Ngl this stuff is kind of terrifying. not from a "China bad" perspective, but from just how much this technology is going to change. And how fast it's happening.
We might be living through an equivalent of the industrial revolution here.
This seems magnitudes worse, at least with the industrial revolution, you could argue that labor wasn't being fully eliminated, but re-distributed and re-oriented to mass production and factory work. AI is the total ELIMINATION of human labor altogether. Even with other big tech advancements like the internet, it still created work in terms of all the infrastructure that had to be built, the expertise required to maintain and improve it, as well as generally creating many jobs that could not exist without the internet.
AI is the only situation I see where it can completely remove humans from the system, even for the purpose of maintenance and upkeep, it could do that on it's own. The infrastructure? It already exists. What do we as workers get from this? What's left to look forward to?
You can never fully eliminate labor, that goes against the labor theory of value. Also robots cannot grease themselves & computer servers need maintenance. Just as the internet replaced a lot of hard print publishing, helper robots will free up people to work in less automated areas like building infrastructure.
