It’s not the same. AI potentially completely replaces intellectual work without creating any* new jobs (*almost any - there will be some extra jobs for building data centers but that’s negligible).

> without creating any* new jobs

So fucking make it so that people don't -need- "jobs"

It's about fucking time already.

Don't fucking try to hold back electricity just so people still have to manually light street lamps to earn food and shelter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamplighter


Ok I’ll make it so, you’ve convinced me.

The US government is run by idiot with dementia. No wonder govt does not take any real action.

This one won’t create significant amount of new jobs though.

What kind of enormous bearing? Computers have been able to do things humans can't for decades now.

Are you being flippant?

Are you avoiding the question?

The question is so daft that I’m not sure it’s worth entertaining it. But sure, I’ll bite - it will result in massive displacement in intellectual workers, without creating (a significant number of) new jobs.

you still haven't told me why this is different from the last 40 years of computers beating humans at stuff

When did they say it? Can you give a quote?

They admitted it once they were forced (HF found out about it).
