Like mostly all tech, AI is destined to get cheaper with time. We're still pretty early on and are experiencing a hardware crunch, which will ease eventually.
AI doesn't have workers rights, doesn't burn out, doesn't get sick, can be instantly onboarded, etc. The second we can be fully replaced with AI, we will be. Plan accordingly. I'm pursuing FIRE and considering moving into a trade.
I feel like trades will be impacted too. No reason robots can't do much of it cheaper and faster. They're even 3D printing houses.
Afaik all the 3d printed houses have been expensive disasters.
So have the AI built software products.
Does this include or exclude places like China?
training data for physical tasks like that is much, much harder than just collecting the entire internet. It'll be resistant to AI much longer than knowledge work will be
If AI would be that cheap and good, why not open a company and leverage it for yourself?
Doing what? Making something with ai: enjoy your 20,000 competitors. Making something without ai: who can buy it?
If nobody can buy anything, the ai companies will go out of business too.
If AI would be that cheap and good, why would they rent it to you? Or even tell you about it?
I'm not sure. Why wouldn't they?
You forget that once all lose their job will all go into trade. Means there will 1000x more people to compete with into trades, which means race to the fucking bottom and lowest salaries if you can even find job. Good for real estate owners, cheap repairs. But probably won’t get any rent paid because people can’t find jobs.
If you're not FIRE now, it's too late! Enjoy serfdom!
This doesn't seem consistent with what I'm seeing in the job market at the moment.
