      I think people don’t realise that if AI fails, it’s pretty much guaranteed to collapse the US economy.

        It’s not if but when. Hopefully sooner rather than later. And you’re a fool if you think the implications won’t be felt around the world. Just like they were when Americans rammed the housing market into the ground. We live in a global economy.

        Yep, either way, your job is toast.

        AI succeeds: AI takes your job.

        AI fails: Economy crashes and you lose your job due to the crash.

        Don’t you worry it’s gonna have a global impact againjudt like it did in 08. Imagine losing your job in Italy for instance cause some bankers got ultra rich in the US. What a dumb fucking world.

          I don’t think 2008 really had a significant effect in Australia. I don’t remember hearing much about it.

            I know plenty people who are currently homeless in Europe originally lost their job following the 2008 crash.

        Meh, not really a full collapse. Just like 75% of it and a huuuuge recession. Or maybe a “Tiny Depression”? Basically, 10 years to recover. Which is where we’re going anyway, with out without AI.
