@goat so if I agree with your path for the sake of argument the salient bit will be that ubi. What’s it look like. Am I at Pepe’s eating pizza next week in Boca and then back to kc to watch Messi in the World Cup or am I eating spaghettios at home wondering why Andy cohen doesn’t release the entire season of in the city at once bc I’m bored af
this exact question/scenario is why this will be the most disruptive technology in history.
as always, I’ll be too slow or too stupid to recognize the ground floor of any burgeoning new industry. Others will figure out what humans do next. It really is astounding to think about. @goat is right. Physical labor will hang on for the foreseeable future but something like 55% of current white collar job duties will be nearly entirely done by AI within five years (it’s in a McKinsey study). It boggles the mind to even guess what’s next for us. Just astoundingly incomprehensible to ponder
Like, cars replaced horses. But we still needed humans to drive the cars. Still needed humans to maintain the cars. Industries shifted. Computers replaced the pen and pencil. But we still needed humans to push the keys and make decisions.
this technology is different. It’s not replacing the car or the computer. It’s replacing the human. Fucking shocking really.
For awhile, we are going to need engineers, plumbers, and electricians to build the water cooling facilities for all these data centers.

What none of you has mentioned though are the millions of content creators from OnlyFans and the San Fernando Valley that will be put out of work with AI Porn. @larsIU, you want to make some money? There you go. But don't forget to shed a tear for the next could-woulda-shoulda Lisa Ann.

1) the McKinsey study said they about half of white collar current duties "could" be done by AI in 5 years... But there is a big caveat. That it would require complete rework of business process from the ground up. Just having it automate mundane tasks using legacy systems isn't going to come close. Will some organizations get that aggressive? I'm sure some will try. But most orgs are a bit risk averse to the idea of totally reimagining their processes. They'll be some failures and you don't want to be the C suite guy who totally fkd the company by a burning everything to the ground to rebuild
2) the same study didn't really anticipate any significant job losses.

Fucking bingo. This is the most disruptive technological advancement in the history of history.
@goat i don't know that you and @lars are right. i was reading an article about enterprise and it's more in keeping with @twenty wrote in that htey are slow to adopt new tech etc and especially when it comes to replacing humans. regardless i think you and lars i way aggressive in your predictions with re to time of all this shit. but honestly who gives a fuck. we're all old ish and smarter than average ish. woke sucks. trump sucks. this board sucks. let's turn it into something positive.
@larsiu @goat @bradstevens @twenty since you're in this thread and anyone else who is useful @snarlcakes i already know about bitcoin i don't want to hear about that. HOW, can we, IU alums, average but above average, make money on this wave. i missed ipos dot.coms flipping houses crypto. let's catch this wave

This was such a crap article. No depth to it. Nothing new.

that’s the saving grace. That existing systems are based on a human understanding of work and decision making.
whole industries will disappear.
also, McKinsey is trying to remin positive I suspect. Again, they make their nut selling mgmt programs to humans.

boutique porn. I’m in.
Last year Trump pushed for and got almost $1 trillion in healthcare cuts over the next ten years. The CBO concluded that would result in 10 million people losing their health insurance by 2034. This year, the administration blocked all efforts to extend the ACA/Obamacare subsidies for people buying health insurance on the state exchanges. (Trump hates Obama). Trump said something along the lines of, "Hey, no need to extend those subsidies, I've got something better and cheaper coming soon, like nobody's ever seen before."
Of course, and just like his empty healthcare promises in his first term, no broad, affordable health care reform materialized. Instead, there've been a couple of measures to lower the cost of some prescription drugs, more incentives to create healthcare savings accounts, and a rollback of regulations on catastrophic coverage plans. That last development makes it easier for young, healthy people to buy a bare-bones plan but does nothing for those who are older or suffer from chronic conditions.
I see on your chart that the US pays the most on healthcare but ranks a very mediocre 40th globally in healthcare quality. We even trail Mexico.
Oh and, since early '25, the CDC has been gutted, funding for medical research has been slashed, and the closing of rural hospitals is accelerating at an alarming rate thanks to Medicaid budget cuts and ACA and coverage rollbacks.
It's all Biden's fault.
The ACA has been a disaster and hasn't curbed costs or improved outcomes.
@larsiu actually right. True. We have centene. Express scripts. Massive companies. Shit ton of executives making bank. Huge companies. All healthcare. Not one person actually providing medical care
This isn’t something Trump or the next guy can fix. Maybe Ai
We've been down this road so many times. The bloating of administrative costs has killed healthcare, just as it has killed higher education. The amount of money spent on non-treatment or non-teaching positions and expenses is insane.
@bar-down Bitcoin is the best the next 20 years. Two others investments or themes. I think outdoor human interactions and activities will make a major comeback. Not sure how to invest in that though. Also, anything related to energy and grid build out. All the physical stuff. I just think the demand will be limitless for it.
