That is an interesting take on how AI will change things. With all the technology over the last 200 years, we are still working till 65 (75....) and it hasn't given us significantly more time to do stuff. So perhaps yes, it will shift the workforce from what can be automated more to what can't be automated - perhaps to use machinery designed by AI, or to do creative things. Or in the bright new future, it will chain the workforce to their desks even more just watching AI process stuff making sure the AI errors arn't too mental?

I agreee that AI is going to make some very significant changes to the labour market. The main point I was trying to make is that machines of one sort or another have been displacing human workers for at least two hundred years now. Before the railways came to the UK almost everyone worked in the countryside. Within one generation this had been turned on its head - most people worked in factories and lived in towns. It didn't mean most people were out of work. Actually AI might be a far more positive thing than the industrial revolution. That detroyed creative, hard but fulfilling jobs like growing food and replaced them with (mainly) soul destroying jobs in factories. AI could end up destroying many boring jobs and replacing them with creative jobs. I don't see AI as fundamentally different from other developments. Yes the changes will be collosal. But no we don't yet know how it will pan out. Instead of my local council employing hundreds of people to do soul destroying things like make figures on a spreadsheet add up and plan stuff a computer can plan much better they can actually pick litter, clean off graffiti, work with local businesses to develop and many other creative things. Newport council manage 160 acres of woodland, with a budget and team of zero. If they can save a fortune on routine things a clever AI computer can do maybe they can finally employ some forestry and environmental officers to look after them. It seems to me it is too easy to say "jobs will be lost" and forget that this may actually be a good thing. Of course there will be those who are unwilling or unable to re-train. So there will be a whole load of new jobs created helping such people to adapt. Sadly some people will simply refuse and become victims, but for many it could be the end of a dull job and the beginning of a creative job. I guess I see the needs for human intervention as almost unending, and if AI gives us the ability to tackle some of this then bring it on.

Agreed I think those are the standard US connectors (SAE) so should be very compatible.

You have to understand those with bad Trump Derangement Syndrome will never be happy, regardless of the local population’s reaction. The particular individual you replied to has it real bad to the point it’s having an effect on his mental health.

Morning all, Snowing a bit here with more predicted by 10. Only a couple of inches on the ground. I don’t fancy slipping and damaging my knee replacement or anything else, so no site work until it clears. Might look at a couple of jobs though. Stay safe

-5 with a little snow and ice causing transport issues for the school bus, so day off work with the little girl. Got busy with some baking, knocked out some Cornish pasties for lunch with a Victoria sponge currently in production.

Good Morning Disturbed kip, mad dreams. Vehicle warming up. .....and away Take care.

Good morning Arbtalkers 🥶

Day of phone and screen work, in the warmth at least. Made a roast beef dinner yesterday evening, results of Sunday joint not defrosting in time, house smells of roast this morning too! Tom put the meat in before I got home and think he didn't shut kitchen doors and open windows hence the smell. Lovely bit of dripping to be had though! Be safe y'all. Tab, Eek, Hat.

Mornin’ Stubs et al. Dusting of snow here, some decent oaks to dismantle, part of a three day job. Yesterday the throttle cable on the 230 froze, luckily the other contractor had a TW165 on the job, a bit more more shedding and preparing, but an impressive little machine, saved the day for us.

Located at the back of the house is my drive.

Block an entire countries air defence systems, send up 150+ aircraft, land in the prime ministers garden and walk off with him without losing a single man. A lot of countries are watching I reckon! Where do we apply!😂

Sorry?? There's no way the bloke wasn't well up there in the drug trade, making billions running them into America. A through and through criminal. When America started bombing the boats, a bloke I met who just been to Trinidad said there was suddenly a lot of high powered speed boats moored in the harbour too nervous to make the crossing. Speaking of Trinidad, news sites don't mention the state of emergency the country was in due to organised crime being out of control - since Venezuela dictator gained more control over the island. A lot of celebrations there and Venezuela when America did the job
