lowest quote I got to replace toilet and faucet in the kitchen (my parts, just installation) - $895 (5 quotes total). market for trades is exploding and will grow larger and larger as gen alpha and beyond knows what screwdriver is as much as they know what rotary phone is (they dont how to use either)
Not saying market can't expand at all. Prices can go down, waiting times can go down, but still people only need that many faucets installed.
If we seriously expect whits collar jobs not be a thing anymore, then I am not seeing trades having nearly enough capacity to absorb all the released workforce
For now. The term people use is "centaur", like the half-man-half-horse of mythology.
The AI CEO's are pointing out that when chess was "solved", in that Kasparov was famously beaten by deep blue, there was a window of time after that event where grandmasters + computers were the strongest players. The knowledge/experience of a grandmaster paired with the search/scoring of the engines was an unbeatable pair.
However, that was just a window in time. Eventually engines alone were capable of beating grandmaster + engine pairs. Think about that carefully. It implies something. The human involvement eventually became an impediment.
Whether you believe this will transfer to other domains is up to you to decide.
This is truly amazing. Do people not really realize how amazing stuff like this is? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here, but man, it certainly feels like we're on the edge of something quite amazing...
