Taki Allen was sitting outside Kenwood High School with friends, eating a bag of chips after football practice on Monday. Around 20 minutes later, cops showed up with guns, walking toward Allen. "They made me get on my knees, put my hands behind my back and cuff me. Then, they searched me and...

Was it a weapon that they thought he had or was he accused of making the stupid "white supremacy" OK sign?

i thought it was interesting that chatgpt was advertising during the game this past week.

what they appeared to be selling was the idea that you could ask it for a four-week plan to get to x number of pull ups without injuring yourself. that was the pitch.

with all of the hype around a.i., that seemed a little off to me.

i think there's a decent chance this makes the dot com bust look tame in comparison

I'm not sure if anyone watched the national news last night but it was very sobering to watch. UPS and Amazon are laying off 48,000 and 14,000 employees respectively because AI is now able to do the jobs that these now former employees could do. The segment talked about how fast AI is advancing and this is going to be a common thing worldwide. They interviewed a guy who was I guess heavily invested in AI and the programming of it, and he was asked "What would you have to say to people losing their jobs to AI?" His response was- "People need to understand they're not losing their jobs to AI. They're losing they're jobs due to people who use AI." Seemingly saying don't blame AI, blame the people choosing to use AI over a human being. But he did say, this is going to be future of business, anything AI can do over a human, businesses are going to go with AI to increase their profits.

The segment went onto say that middle class labor jobs aren't being impacted (right now) as much as corporate, white collar jobs. That people with office jobs are the ones who are being the most impacted and it will continue to get worse for people in these types of positions.

There is no doubt AI is here and it is going to take no prisoners over the coming decade. A lot of low and mid-level corporate jobs that just require pushing numbers around, creating reports, monitoring systems, etc. are all going to be taken over by AI bots. People in the trades should be "pretty" safe as I don't see AI relacing broken pipes or installing AC units. Factories will become almost completely automated with just a few humans around.

The food service industry is pretty safe, too. Yeah, they COULD build a robot who brings you food, but it won't spit on your hamburger after you complain about being brought a Coke instead of the Coke Zero you ordered. It's the personal touch that means so much.

As usual, it's going to hurt the middle class. The middle-class office worker jobs will be the jobs that get replaced by AI. They'll still have secretarial work because AI can't file, bring the boss his coffee or run an errand for him on their lunch. I could see a paperless office impacting secretarial jobs, but most offices today still have paper and filing in them of some kind.
