| > What to do about it is the real issue. Yes, it is and the article isn't going there enough what options we have as societies. I think this is because the article is still trying to convince you that the white collar job losses are indeed coming rather than taking this as a given. If we take it as a given but don't consider a Terminator/SkyNet scenario within the next 10 years, then we do have some options: - Taxing token usage - Requiring local data centers
- Requiring AI oversight - Nationalizing the AI companies - We probably need Chinese-style national firewalls to prevent companies moving their AI compute abroad - Charging companies per displaced worker - Requiring human worker to token consumption ratios in companies A lot of these could help soften the blow of the rapid changes so labor markets can adapt. |
