    Unemployment Could Hit 95% Thanks to AI

    Possibilities are endless with AI

    No sector will be unaffected

    The scary part is people in the know, folks at NVIDIA say that it won't take much for AI to become self-sufficient and not require any human interaction to maintain itself and advance it's own usefulness

    Listen closely

    Buy Land, preferably with 50-100' of waterfront access on a river
    Dig a Well
    Learn to farm
    Research sustainability

    Its your only chance

    As long as you have your assortment of dresses, wigs, makeup, nail polish, and your dikk sucking skills, you don't need to worry about the unemployment rates, Kraken.

    I strongly suggest you learn to suck dikk yourself, because your skills aren't gonna cut it in a post AI world

    Those people won't keep looking for work, and therefore, won't count as unemployed. We will remain at 5% unemployment.

    Or, alternatively, the machines will take over everything, there will be plenty, so no one will need anything, and humans can focus on creative things like sports gambling.

    Its already happening, grocery stores will soon only need one person running them. Everything else will be automated, trucks that deliver goods will be driverless, they will unload goods on a dock that are distributed to the shelves by AI robots.

    We think its cool that there is no longer a check out line but millions will be without work.

    It will hit the lowest educated the hardest, so i wouldn't be laughing if I were you Frosty

    Only to the weak

    Republicans tend to be weak-willed individuals. Thats why they need a strong leader, just sheep

    To those that voted Trump, he is just as much a Daddy figure to them as he is a leader

    I wish they had more checkout lines. Fck those machines at the store. Takes forever. But, you're right. More, and more jobs will disappear. I don't think to the exteme you're suggesting, but possibly some day. Luckily, I'll be long dead.

    Yep. Cashiers are just the tip of the iceberg.

    Again, sadly, its going to disproportinately affect lower income jobs first.

    Education and skills are more important now than ever but at some point, we're all going to be consumed by the AI monster

    Isn't that the truth. That is why they love Reagan. Bunch of draft dodgers pounding their chest like they are now tough and u throw in Fox News scaring the living daylights out of these nitwits daily, sure enuf u get a guy that is a daddy figure to them running the country. I think pretty much Trump will eventually figure out what despicable people Mcconnel and Ryan are and eventually throw them under the bus. It will take some time but eventually these two scumbags will be caught on tape undermining Trump which will make Trump livid and get rid of these cancers.

    To be correct, Detroit auto workers were victims to automation first. Now cashiers.

    Wonder whose next

    Theoretically, I could envision a medical clinic without a doctor or nurse, just a machine to measure your vitals and a fingerstick prick to get just enough blood to run a bunch of labs, an algorithm asks you qurstionsand Id be willing to bet, the computer could be programmed where it has a correct diagnosis rate of >90%, amd treatment choice would be 100% because there would be no errors, or they would be extrememly rare.

    That scenario is pretty counterproductive. You know what grocey stores are dependent on? Consumers. You know what people without jobs can't do? Consume. It will balance out after a while.

    ok

    Be sure to call the grocery stores and tell them to scrap the kiosks, that they forgot to factor in the other side of the equation

    I do agree with you in theory, the problem is greed. Entire sectors will disregard the human worker in favor of profits and by then irreparable damage will be done

    In fact, its already happening. Its not hard to see, just look around. Look at how many Americans are already out of the work force, something like 100,000,000

    Hopefully, when this all goes down I'm clean. I can live off the land, but I need my booze, and pills. I could learn to make moonshine, I guess. Time to get started on that.

    If you're really concerned about this you'd want an immediate end to immigration.

    Importing mass unskilled workers doesn't sound like a great idea when they'll have nothing to do in the future.
