Get into electricity and energy production

AI chips and server-farms are adding to US electricity demand equal to the city of Houston, every year.

If AI can do your job, it wasn’t that hard/useful in the first place.

If AI & all these illegal aliens are cutting into jobs & wages, shouldn’t the D.C. elite be part of that? If everyone’s wages were reduced, then prices would HAVE to come down.

Well, I’d sure like to see how AI would diagnose & repair a modern automobile....and do it for the wages the techs get. Actually, since they (AI) are so advanced they should be able to do this work for less.

OK. But that still doesn’t explain why a vote for Trump is going to stop AI.

AI will remove alot of “make work” jobs, like HR and DEI.

No. Those are the jobs that will be spared, you racist.

AI isn’t the economic woes they need to worry about as much as the illegals taking jobs to flat line wages it’s one part of Biden & Co. plan.

To have socialism to work you need people to depend on the government for things.

No it didn't. It wrote:

"AI is often considered unintelligent, and when it creates itself, this only exacerbates its lack of intelligence."

It should have written:

"AI is often considered unintelligent, and when it creates from inputs it generated itself, this only exacerbates its lack of intelligence."

Most of the auto mechanics and HVAC people I know aren’t worried about losing their jobs to AI, and some now make over $150k (with overtime).

You will own nothing.
You will do no meaningful work.
You will create nothing.
You will merely experience content created by AI.

You will be... happy?

If you hated HR/DEI before, you’re gonna hate it even more once it’s replaced by the sort of AI we saw with Gemini.

OK, but that is a vague generality. HOW will he do that?

Ban all AI? Ban AI research? Lead an international consortium against AI?

More than 72 percent of Americans making more than $150,000 fear losing their jobs to AI and other sources of economic insecurity.

Don't learn to code learn how to operate an excavator or do plumbing or framing. Things AI will never be able to do.

Having said that if AI can get rid of 90% of attorneys I see no downside.

AI is being blamed but the truth is DIE is behind it and all those jobs are going to India.
We are seeing a repeat of 2002.

I hope you don’t mind me saying that you are very negative. You are the only one talking about banning things. The calculator didn’t leave people using a slide-rule unemployed. The computer didn’t leave people using a calculator unemployed.

There is a whole universe of things to do out there. Sitting around, freezing in the dark isn’t going to get them done. That’s how I see Trump helping.

LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT EVAH!

Learn to code!!!

No, learn to mine coal (or fix heating systems or cars, build bridges, etc.) AI can't do those.
