The beginning of what?

▲voidfunc 3 hours ago | parent | next [-]

The beginning of the end of human thinking being valuable enough to justify university's existences among many others.

Were in an unprecedented time where the value of knowledge is about to be crushed.

Not sure I agree with this take, but we're going to find out either way.

Have you ever heard of an S curve? Things will develop rapidly, then equalize. If they don't, we're at the singularity and I guess the end of time as we know it.

But I guess really bad things happen, cancer, radiation poisoning, torture, people have died in really horrendous ways, and I guess dying from some horrendous AI side effects is possible too. Yay.

Golden age of discovery and mass layoffs

▲voidfunc 3 hours ago | parent | next [-]

People need to figuring out how to horde as much wealth as possible right now in the next 2-3 years. Jobs especially for knowledge workers are about to disappear.

I’ve been thinking this as well. I imagine there is a wealth level x such that someone can escape the coming ubi welfare state. Anything under that you are fucked.

It's funny we're possibly entering a golden age of thought, the dreams of the ancients, but we're all worried about capitalism, I think the problem is pretty obvious.

Maybe a golden age of thought for the machines, but possibly (I would even say likely on the current trajectory) a dark age for humanity.

Any tips?

▲zeroonetwothree 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-]

Predictions of mass layoffs from AI have been about as wrong so far as predictions of AI plateauing.

Not really. 93,116 tech employees laid off due to AI in 2026.
