Well said. My intention is to make as much fucking money as I can within the next few years. Because I’m fairly certain the opportunities will be almost zero in 5+ years. People like to preach AI utopia with UBI, etc. But knowing how corrupt big business and governments are, they will most likely just continue growing wealth and all the little rats will continue to decline in whatever wealth they did have, which for most people is close to zero.

Try to make money now, then invest into tangible assets like duplexes, land, apartments, etc. That’s the only way I can think of to actually be “free” in 5+ years from now.

I hope for a world opposite of that, but yeah this post is about preparation for the time period before that could ever happen, ie. now.

Me too. You’re right though, learning and utilizing these AI tools should be a top priority for anyone. Especially for computer based jobs.

I don't think opportunities will dry up but there will be a rush to deploy these things in enterprise settings in limited manners. Most companies data is scattered, dirty, and opaque. It won't be straightforward to train them

I think that the first jobs to get destroyed will be call centers, or concierge's that reroute requests to skilled, unreplacable workers

2027: ChatGBT for "can you set my analysis environment up?"

2030: ChatGBT: "Can you do my analysis for me?"

Ding ding ding. This is the type of sentiment this sub is missing so often. The key to being on the best footing possible to take advantage of the coming AI revolution is to make as much money as possible while we still can. There's no guarantee things like AGI will be available to plebians in the future. And I'm saying that as a plebian.

Don't feel hopeless. Ur going to live through a crazy yet wonder age of new technology. The entertainment sector changes alone is going to be worth it alone.

I think youll find that material things will become less valuable as AGI figures out how to make things ultra cheap.

However creative works (not just art) will become tangible valuable things. Your social circle and ur personal interactions (both online and digital) will have value.

My hope is that this will push people to be better themselves and have better interactions between ourselves. Thus creating a better society as a whole.

So start getting creative and learning to have real interactions. Learn how to think about things. Learn how to voice ur opinion. Learn what u love in life that is not digital. This maybe the currwncy of the future. Might take a few decades though...buckle up.

But Im an optimist...cause life feels better living that way.

Hopeless is a very bad feeling for an individual to have. Realize the world is deliberately evil by design right now, and feel rage instead.
