I hate guessing when it gets beyond the initial area reveal.




Guessed right, this time.

3 vol sci-fi series centered on AI. I'm halfway into the 2nd book. Pretty good and a little disturbing.

I don't want to give away a plot(s) so forget about the books I just mentioned just now. Don't highlight the "hidden" text below scroll down if you don't want a bit of a spoiler.













Imagine that the universe(s) is a simulation as some believe possible and we create an AI that expands its own intelligence beyond the point it can manipulate that simulation in ways we can't imagine.

MEH, I have skills that AI simply cannot match, and will not in this lifetime. They will be in demand, likely long after I am dead and gone.

Give an AI a fully articulated physical presence comparable to what a human has and soon it will be able to do anything a human can do and more.

I gave that up decades ago. It always seemed to be expensive.

Yeah, I don't think so. And that presence would be extremely cost prohibitive.

Knowledge workers are the first low hanging fruit.

They are usually the highest paid highest cost employees.

Programmers, Lawyers, Doctors, Lab Technicians, Engineers, Product designers, accountants, etc, etc, etc.

Physical-based jobs will come next.  Knowledge workers are just the initial biggest bang for the buck to replace.

Eventually there is nothing a human can do that an algorithm can't eventually do.

Maybe our J.O.B. shouldn't be the basis for our worth?

Might be time to join Luddites-R-Us. When's the next rally?  ;)

Let's see an AI catch the wrench as it bounces back up.

AI will worship the technicians who maintain them.
