I’ve started calling this domain human reserved. I like the phrase human reserved because it makes me think of nature reserves – places where we could put buildings and roads, but we choose not to because the loss would be too great.

    Go away, Bill. Take your ill-gotten gains and retire into obscurity. It’ll save your life.

    It was obvious and proven already a few years ago:

    CEOs are the first and most easy ones to replace by AI.

    Its called “Unions”, they’re pretty cool if imperfect. No worse than unfettered employers in “capitalism”

    Anyone who’s against unions should be against and refuse to work for any employer with an HR + Legal departments cuz serious employers generally dont dare operate without those resources to manage their risk and compliance

      Doesn’t the power of unions come from the employer’s need for human workers? If they don’t need human workers anymore, then what good would a union do?

        • much of unions’ role is to consider threats to its members like automation and mtigate that.
        • If an employer can afford a full strike of its human employees than there’s not much a union can do besides strike, sue, and lobby against it
        • how many employers (are there any??) can actually practically survive a full protracted strike and replace everyone fast enough that it doesnt put them severely in the hole if not outright killing their business.
        • customers will find a new source for what they relied on that company for and likely wont return
        • company will attract attention from politicians and lawyers wanting to get in on the action and train their targets on the company. This will likely produce law unfavorable to the company that becomes a new worse precedent for them possibly
        • You dont get to boss around robots or threaten loss of jobs to make localities and states and federal governments treat you favorably or gloss over your business’/personal crimes

    After the attacks of 9/11 the US government went through its biggest reorganisation since World War II for the purpose of improving just one function, national security. AI will require much, much more. It will affect national security as well as employment, education, taxation, energy, elections, air and water, public health, the financial system, law enforcement, transportation, …

    They’re telling us to change our systems, yet it’s as a responce to a change they themselves brought about. Just think of how much public money could have been saved if they had just refrained from developing AI in the first place. People’s jobs are getting automated and they are getting asked to pay for the privilige

      Not developing AI. We’ve been working on and with ANI for a very long time, and constant research on what might make AGI possible. What side railed everything is some companies found out they can do lots of amazing things with LLMs, a subset of AI science, and investors will pay them to make better versions. They talk a lot about how what they’re doing will lead to AGI, but these people (or the scientists doing the actual work) know better than that. LLMs can possibly be part of what AGI uses, but it’s on the wrong branch. And they’ve given up following the other branches because this one is paying off.

      So in short, we could have done better (both ethically and core results), but once again money got in the way.

    You wouldn’t want to waste good money on things like buildings and roads for those pesky humans on the reservations, would you? I mean, you could, but think of the losses.
