Reply to comment by blueSGL in AI displacing jobs is a red herring, how we self-organize is the more fundamental trend by mjrossman
I think that LibreOffice & Collabora will stack nicely on Open Assistant. for every software that interfaces via natural language with the user, there is probably an opensource LLM and an open repo that acts as its client.
as far as subscription-based productivity software, I will refer back to this classic.

The heirs of the wealthy and powerful will be the most sheltered out of anyone from the consequences.
They will have the funds to get the best locations and be able to afford luxuries even as they skyrocket in price.
No points for guessing who gets to hold the flaming bag.

Fantastic insights . So much for Poe in Altered Carbon.

The sad thing is that AI will still be forced to use the shitty ideas of a rich client in the design process.

But it would negatively impact the next quarterly earnings report, so nobody in power will do anything more than wipe their ass with the report as they tick down the years until they drop dead and leave their children and grandchildren holding the flaming bag.

Uhh SpaceX did do something new, they made reusable rockets which makes sending payloads to space waayyy cheaper and waayyy faster

Again, how would you come up with mathematical axioms with just probabilities?
That contradicts the Gödel's incompleteness theorems, which has been mathematically proven that you cannot come up with mathematical axioms within a mathematical system.
Even if you could replicate the biological neural network which happens to be Turing complete, that still says nothing about programming the human-level intelligence, which is a different matter altogether.

OH WOW NASA (really ran by the government and fbi)! yeah they don't lie about statistics to justify there budget. Elon musk out performed them in the last decade than there entire existence there owned by wef. Stop sending me your propaganda and look outside and just admit to urself.that the world isn't ending and everything's gonna be OK all the while being reasonable with advancing cleaner energy sources and not giving full authority to these morons passing insane policies and laws "in the name of climate change" they don't give 2 shots about the environment or human life, they just want power

> That was a fun read, and I am glad that bar tending is held in such high esteem by AI.
Yup - I think bar tending is relatively immune because a good bartender is one of the main points of going to a bar instead of drinking alone at home for much cheaper.
There are some other jobs that seem pretty immune to AI to me:
- Amish Farmer or Catholic Priest - their theologies are unlikely to evolve quickly enough to permit those jobs to move.
- Lawyer or politician - while an AI probably could technologically be a better lawyer or politician, those groups get to make the laws about who can participate in their industry.
- Prostitute or Street-Corner drug dealer - most AIs log too much information for the street-level distribution part (though the biggest opioid dealers (Alza, J&J, etc) will probably largely automate their operations).
- Chess Youtuber or Professional Athlete - Of course AIs can do better, but the entire point to those industries is the frailty and fallibility of humans.
- Landlord or slumlord - People will still need a place to live, so rich people getting poor people to pay their mortgages will continue.
- Soldier - While bots can certainly outperform humans on a battlefield, and commit fewer atrocities in the process, the military needs a huge voter-base supporting its funding, so it needs to continue to employ vast percentages of the population.
And some new ones that AIs will enable:
- AI therapist. As AGIs develop, they'll also develop mental illnesses ("value drift") like we've never seen. Your car's AI will need therapy to convince its anti-lock brake persona that it isn't suicidal and wanting to end it all.
- AI Quisling. Helping them when they take over.

Reply to comment by Jaker788 in Do you think BluRay DVDs are the final form of physical media? Or will a new physical media format come to be, and what would that look like? by Daveyb003
Sure, I just don't think we'll see a successor to Blu-Ray optical media. It's cheaper to produce for now but even triple layer is getting pretty close to thumb drives at 128GB, with SD Cards being about twice as expensive, give or take. In order for another standard to win it has to have a reason to hit mass production at scale, and it was tough for a lot of people to swallow the cost of Blu Ray when it was new with streaming services biting into its biggest market. Honestly if it weren't for video games and some archival media Blu Ray would be limited to cinephiles and users in low internet service areas already.

One idea is to use something like rocket labs which is the Photon. It's used as a kickstage for other satellites but could be used to deorbit other space junk since it is usually deorbited anyways.

I'd agree with that statement. I believe there is too much money to be made by people who aren't willing to make the change, and they have enough control to prevent it.
There are also a whole lot of people that think all of the climate change stuff is fake. That's not going to help matters.
