'Bigger, Faster, More Permanent Than All Waves Combined': No Sector Will Be Untouched By AI
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')Hajnen Payson is a highly valued internet search and marketing expert. ... Governments and companies around the world are rushing into Artificial Intelligence (AI). Some big names are hiring Payson to navigate the pathway to incorporate AI into just about everything you see, touch and feel. " We are at the very beginning of the AI Revolution, and that is exactly what this is. This is no different than the Industrial Revolution. This is going to be a time where we are changing.
Payson brought some real-world sources to back up what he is finding. Payson says, “The International Monetary Fund says 40% of jobs globally are exposed to AI..."
https://usawatchdog.com/ai-revolution-j ... en-payson/Well yes, It's morphed into a financial bubble, but I believe it will achieve all of the above. There are two types of people in this world, those who own companies that benefit from technology and those that are put out of work and go hungry because of technology.
Microsoft office, Excel, they have revolutionized the office as we knew it, and tossed millions of people (human capital) on the scrapheap. Some went on to other jobs, many no doubt retired, many possibly went off into the ranks of the homeless. Same with the ATM revolution, I saw lots of tellers lose their jobs. It's progress, and I get that! But it's not progress for people who are pushed out. Let me go back in time to the years before great depression. And please, bear with me.
1850-1880: The number of urban horses grew dramatically due to the expansion of railroads and increased passenger service.
1885-1895: Street railways began to replace horse-drawn vehicles.
1895-1915: Light passenger use transitioned from horses to automobiles.
1915-1930: Heavy freight transport also began to shift from horses to motorized trucks.
1920s: Freight haulage was the last bastion of horse-drawn transportation, with motorized trucks finally supplanting horse carts.
Does anyone have any idea the number of employees were in the "Horse and cart" industry back in its heyday? In 1901, there were approximately 3.25 million working horses in England. The pop was 37 million then. By the 1920's many of the people in this industry were out of work. Some found jobs elsewhere of course but it was a huge dislocation. How much did this factor into the Great Depression? Less cashed up consumers, less sales...
But that aside, The world of today is full of BS jobs, people sitting in comfortable chairs talking to other people or pushing a mouse across a screen. Sales greeters, clerical, on and on. These are jobs AI will remove from the workforce and they won't be buying houses on some future universal basic income. How many of the unemployed (the real unemployed) not the BS government definition. How many of them were displaced by MYOB packages, and Microsoft office packages, by ATM machines. Just look at the millions of Gas station employees that lost their jobs when Gas pumps could talk direct to the staffer inside and say how much fuel was just pumped. It's all technology, it's great, as long as you're not the one being axed!
Some of the job losses above were not an issue, the effected people found other jobs, but the Gas pump job and others like it was typically a starter job for teenagers and there are not many of those jobs left except in retail and fast food. small dislocations the system can assimilate but the AI transition will be anything but small once it gets moving. And it's happening right at a time of maximum risk, right when the world is on the cusp of a debt collapse as it was in the 1920's.
Global

And the US

So yes, AI will be great for the corporate bottom line, and will certainly remove a lot of jobs that PeakOil would have done away with anyway. All those BS jobs exist because oil has been doing the real work in the background, it freed up millions to sit on their arse and talk basically.
We're 17 years past the peak now and the 3rd World is going hungry and dark. We'll be next, we're well on the way in fact.
