No matter how many times ads ruin every new experience we get you are always in the comments begging for more.

We have no way to know what is going to happen, even in the near future. Any job could be replace. Better to study something you are interested in, at least it will be personally fulfilling to you.

I don't think that's the best analogy. We're heading straight towards the vertical side of the exponential growth curve here. I mean, if we're not, then what's this sub for?
We clearly are — either we're already on it, or just about to hit it. There's going to be a deluge of tech / AI advancement over just the next 3 - 5 years. It's not going to replace everyone that quickly though; most companies are very slow to adapt.
I'm in Europe. If you're looking for job security, get a state / government job. I think they'll keep a lot of those jobs around just 'because'.

I don't expect the kinds of AGI like systems that might be around in the 2030s will be autonomously dangerous. I expect we will use those tools to create actual AI intelligences in the 2040s and those will be truly dangerous.

I recommend doing what you like to do. Understand that AI incorporation into the workforce will happen quickly, but it won't be overnight. There will be many roles that will be "AI augmented," before they're completely transitioned. Study something you're genuinely interested in, then worry about that fits into the workforce when you're ready to get a job.

This is all true, and my comment was simplistic. In my defense, it's hard to cover such a massive topic in a few sentences. Yes we need UBS, but alongside it we also need a huge restructuring of our economic and political systems to reduce wealth (and power) inequality, and bring the tools of human and natural flourishing back within our direct (democratic) control. And this is still a simplistic and reductive comment.

Oh man, the dialogue really does need some more training, and the laugh tracks are rendered in weird places. I can definitely see myself using a embedded stream of this in some sort of surrealistic sci-fi project.

You wrote a whole lot of words for nothing, man, I agree with you. I never said the jobs were replaced 1:1, nor that the same people working at McDonalds would get those jobs. How about before taking the absence of words negating something as an argument for that thing, and then writing an essay about it ... you just ask for clarification?
In any case, nothing you said negates my point about UBS.

Yeah and it also specifically states that: as computation has increased, AI systems have become more powerful too.
Exponential development is the norm not linear growth.
The universe's is exponential. The development of life on earth is exponential. The development of technology is exponential.

Absolutely not! Of course doing nothing and waiting around would be def defeatist, and probably the worst idea here.
But it's a good idea to start preparing and doing research. Game out future scenarios, so that you can better anticipate or at least adapt to change when it happens.
Best not to specialize or become an expert in just one field or industry. The chance of it becoming automated is very high. If someone specializes and gain knowledge and experience in many fields they will be more adaptable and ready for change. Learn always!

Might be unpopular, but a specialized craft will be very hard for ai or robotics to automate. I work in a company that specialized in high accuracy punching tools. Just imagining to teach a robot to use an EDM machine or service them is a nightmare. All the small details how to achieve the desired result will take decades until the technology is affordable, especially for smaller more specialized companies.

Facts and opinions are two different things. Quoting "alternative facts" about heart failure and vaccines means he's either an idiot or posting in bad faith.

If AI could deconstruct consciousness itself in order to achieve this, that is a way bigger hill to climb than solving mental illness, which you don’t seem to appreciate by comparing it to an airplane

It also doesn't even matter when automation happens. I'm a practicing mechanical design engineer. I fully expect one day my work will be automated and before that highly augmented, but by the time my work isn't needed we'll have so much societal wealth and productivity that UBI and such will be easily affordable and generous.
The only thing that matters is that your job isn't one of the first to be fully automated (not just augmented) before the major wave of automation occurs and if it is that you can transfer to another. As long as your job is automated with the major wave of automation then you'll be fine since society will adapt to it and we'll have the resources to easily do so.

wait, like the name of the place was literally “n word bar” or are you censoring the word yourself?

It could have, yes. I'm not certain. I just asked it to expand by 30% and it was definitely over double the length.
