I'm in IATSE and actually am on film sets, everything from film and TV, from Netflix to Disney. I'm out there, helping makes the shows. Muscles posted... What they fail to realize is that once AI takes over all jobs money will be useless, if no one is working no one will have money to buy things, but it'll also be a post scarcity world once it gets to that point and people can focus on things like art without being a starving artist This is the "good" outcome of a post-capitalist/A.I. future. I wouldn't hold your breath for the "good" ending. Nothing about human history suggests we will peacefully arrive to this point, if at all. adjl posted... The problem isn't AI taking over all jobs, though. It's AI taking over some jobs, so there are still plenty of people able to buy stuff, but also plenty of people starving to death because they can't work. Indeed. Change like this is incremental, meaning problems will popup as this progress gradually accelerates. If it was known, planned for, done all at once, with a transition plan in place, that'd be one thing. Instead, we have a government that can't even decide if the sky is blue or not, and not nearly enough people are watching this unfold and worrying about it...and the people doing the watching aren't even the smart ones equipped to deal with or understand the gravity of these changes. It has the very likely potential to get messy very fast. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. <cite>CyborgSage00x0 posted [p:974895498] in SAG is on ...
