Here’s the issue I have with your position… AI is such a generic term it’s difficult to have a fulfilling conversation using it but in my field a form of AI like machine learning is going to eliminate an entire sector of manufacturing… Boutique precision machined components have been thought as an impenetrable wall against AI but it’s basically the same lackluster defense used not long ago about Generative images couldn’t produce hands properly… It’s not a matter of if but when.
Imo, the catastrophe happens when a successful AI scales. Or perhaps rather how suddenly a successful AI model will bury the existing system into irrelevancy. Boeing and most aerospace manufacturers have a machinist union but none of that will protect against a future where people are no longer necessary.
I don’t think it’s wrong to have AI eliminate jobs but it shouldn’t come without warning. I think it’s rather forward looking to be monitoring ongoing AI projects and establish contingencies for folks who will become displaced by it’s rapid spread.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
But, let me guess, the billionaires don’t want them to.
So none at all…
Bevause they are doing something for the climate?
Ohh okay, so the AI is free to prosper 😁
All this AI doomer talk is pointless. AI isn’t the problem, humans are.
Yeah, we ahould something about those humans! /s
I’d like to ignore it until it goes away too, but I don’t think that’s an effective strategy for either issue.
AI doesn’t even exist yet. We can’t even stop a catastrophe we haven’t created yet.

So… a convention every 4 years?
Ineffective policies for the poor’s that has a negligible effect while giant corporations make billions and exacerbate the problem?
Sounds same as always. Maybe they’ll do it now with a sense of urgency?
