Nah, the movie repo men seems like a more accurate depiction of how synthetic organs would play out.

That is literally what I said. The Industrial Revolution lead to better working conditions (weekends off, paid holidays, sick leave).
It was not a political revolution.

Naw they’d bake in an easy access port to the body and implement planned obsolescence to ensure regular expensive surgical maintenance and care to milk insurance.
Edit spelling easy

Yeah, those arnt built to last, they're built with a shelf life so you buy another set

Weekends off etc were a reaction to the industrial revolution which mandated rigid work schedules, and only made possible through trade unions. Such things wouldn't make sense before the industrial revolution.

Apparently one of the biggest barriers will be available training data - gpt5 may already run out of data.

Mmm, no.
Humans are still needed because you need them for applying to human needs.
I mean, in plain work AI is better. So is the machine. But AI won't solve human's problems (I mean, it can, but you better shoot yourself then take this solution). So, humans will command the AI to do stuff.
The problem the control over AI.
PS: and keep the shit about AGI to yourself. In case you wanted to apply with it.

History is circular.
This has all happened before, and will happen again.
The Industrial Revolution wasn’t a political revolution, however it lead to better working conditions (weekends off, paid holidays, sick leave).
The AI revolution will just change the job market slightly. Perhaps allow for more flexible working, but those holding out for some political revolution are going to be slightly disappointed. There will still be jobs. There will still be workers.

From the Article
>A newly developed machine-learning tool could help scientists search for signs of life on Mars and other alien worlds.
>
>With the ability to collect samples from other planets severely limited, scientists currently have to rely on remote sensing methods to hunt for signs of alien life. That means any method that could help direct or refine this search would be incredibly useful.
>
>With this in mind, a multidisciplinary team of scientists led by Kim Warren-Rhodes of the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute in California mapped the sparse lifeforms that dwell in salt domes, rocks and crystals in the Salar de Pajonales, a salt flat on the boundary of the Chilean Atacama Desert and Altiplano, or high plateau.

Rather automation is forever. Once a machine is better at doing a job than a human for practical purposes machines will always be better. The scope of where that is true is only increasing due to more intelligent machines. At a certain level of simulated intelligence a machine is simply superior to a human as far as labor is concerned. The future for human labor isn't something that can be fixed with more jobs. They'll be equally unemployable. They'll be horses in a world of cars.

It’s probably going to be your tissue grown on a scaffold to avoid rejection rather than a full artificial organ as in Repomen but we might need those as regrown organs mature or as a stopgap while a spare organ is grown for you.

Please we need artificial organs!!! You probably need them right now if you’re +30 like me. An artificial spine to prevent back pain, artificial eyes to not have hyper/hypometropia, artificial hair follicules for baldness, etc. we already have artificial teeth and most people prefer them.

How far into the future are we talking? I think the most likely scenario is that eventually phones will be connected to our brains via implants, but before that people will be wearing contacts with heads up displays and/or earpieces.
You'll be able to control your phone via voice or via gestures (the contacts will come equipped with a built in camera or we'll see something like soli in the pixel phones where the gestures are read via something similar to radar), but eventually they'll be telepathically controlled (this will either require an implant or the user to wear a headband [possibly a smaller circular monitor that afixes to the head with adhesive] of some sorts, so it probably won't catch on for a lot of people until implants are more common).
Consumer phones won't need hardware features like thermal imaging or night vision, so they'll just gradually shrink until the main computing device fits on your wrist like a pip boy. They may or may not have an actual display (I'm sure the earlier models will look a lot like smart watches).
Then there's the Black Mirror corneal transplant. Those might make more sense than a brain transplant for a lot of people (do we want to open our brains directly to the internet?).

Right but that's been diminishing since the industrial revolution. We only didn't experience that in the labor market broadly already because there was a refuge, human intelligence. You're basically just saying horses aren't extinct yet when I told you they have no meaningful share of the modern transportation market.
