It could be that the coming year will be the year when we see real jobs begin to be lost because of AI. If that does happen, it will be a real tipping point for the technology.
The imperative of capitalism is to take the path of lease resistance, so if entire types of jobs could be eliminated using it, then, lulz, they’re gone. The big question may be how big and how fast these jobs are eliminated.
If there is a really big retrenchment that could have a huge impact on politics and the Trump autocracy. I have my doubts about the possibility of any AI regulation passing at any point.
I just don’t think we have the gumption to regulate AI for any reason. We’re just kind of fucked.
