Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Damn my dad is tilted about AI. He’s very worried about systemic job losses that will occur. What does one say to this? 

My whole thinking about the future of work is probably a bit too futuristic and internet/cryptonative for him to understand

I like what Samo Burja had to say about AI and jobs — most jobs in America are already meaningless and their primary function is to be a form of UBI (holding the job is the means testing)

Combined with the stage of the hype cycle AI is at and the poor economics, I’m not worried

We always figure out a way to make “work”

This take reminds me of David Graeber’s theory on “Bullshit Jobs”.  I’d love if we’d figure out how to make work, actually “work”
