Clange out, plastics in, AI getting there

 

I was going to do a thing about what makes a good doomer story to make money for the media.  However, the main thing is that none of their dooms ever come true.  That's because it is just too hooked in to power and money.  

This past decade has show that there are no more good low-ranked bureaucratic jobs any more.  Nothing to do with AI, but general productivity.  It used to be that any university grad could get a good paying job right from the getgo.  No more.  That bar moves up at a steady rate, and AI will not make it rise faster because of 'garbage in garbage out'.  All the AI's just go with the groupthink, because that's how they are trained.  Any company that goes with this deserves to die.

There are tremendous forces against productivity improvements, mainly stupidity.  A few 'Brights' can raise their companies, but this never goes for the masses.  The introduction of windows and email was a devastating blow to intelligence.  AI will be the same.  As I have said, the only way to make money is to sell stupid stuff to stupid people.
