Yes agreed, It’s going to be an absolute boon to a lot of people, and you’re right, it’s going to be a death knell to a lot of white collar & blue collar jobs.
The thing that bothers me & a lot of other people about it is the people who have their hands on it, Bezos, Gates, Musk & Zuckerberg.
I’m glad you are on the same page as me regarding this subject. The government in the UK has finally realised that we’re light years behind China. In China they’re now teaching AI to children from aged 6 whilst our Adults are debating whether a woman can have a ■■■■■. We’re ill equipped in the UK just yet to undertake infrastructure jobs (HS2 etc) without it being a financial disaster. The Train network will need upgrading by the time that’s finished. The announcement of 50.000 apprenticeships today for the plumbing and electrical businesses isn’t even scratching the surface of our infrastructure needs. A brilliant example is Worcester where the announcement of 5000 new houses to be built on one estate and zero money for the Hospital. That’s the level of leadership we have in this country.Bezos etc are only interested in the production of more wealth for themselves. AI requires huge data centres and energy to run it, chinas Thorium reactor comes online in 2030 so the reliance on coal will dwindle, gas will pretty much be redundant. Our ineptitude means that we get the French to build us a nuclear power station as we have no skills level to do it. AI will be leading the tech race in all countries and we are woefully not ready, so therefore dependent on external power suppliers. Unless we start getting the nation tuned in to show them what it can do, then I fear we will not be in the G7 in 10 years time. The arrogance of the west is astounding. The USA has banned all Chinese cars even after the chief executive of ford said it would take the USA 50 years to catch up with them. In the UK the government should be safeguarding our jobs by granting licences to BYD etc to build their cars here. Just like we do with BMW and Honda and Nissan etc. use UK workforces and UK suppliers and import those refined minerals from China to put in them. Use Ai sparingly and teach our kids critical thinking so they don’t become reliant on Ai. The West will be thinking what weapons can they make using ai and how much cash can they make off of it. Whereas China Singapore etc have looked at how it can function in businesses and how it can solve infrastructure problems. They’ve already built their hypersonic missiles for defence and are way ahead of everyone. It’s a bleak future with the Tango Terrorist in the white house, but eventually that phase will be gone, then I think we’ll see a bigger co-operation between countries and data will be shared . Like the new stethoscope that can detect heart problems in seconds rather than weeks .
one of those that skip a monolith of unparagraphed text
Move on from here go watch telly
A monument of uninterrupted verbosity, being that species of literary effusion in which the author, disdaining the modest restraint of paragraphs, marshals his thoughts in a single, colossal phalanx of verbiage; a dense and unrelenting procession of clauses, subordinate clauses, and digressions—each vying for supremacy—so that the reader, bereft of the customary havens of white space, must wade heroically through its impenetrable bulk as though traversing a fog-choked London thoroughfare, emerging at length quite as exhausted as enlightened.
Chatgpt is our friend
Or our enemy. Depends which hands control it
Had to get that in didn’t you 
If ai takes some middle management non jobs then great.
can the entire paragraph be cited so we do not misinterpret the true aim of such statement?
Middle management will go before drivers
Here’s the summary from Ai at the bottom of the thread
The discussion revolves around the rapid advancement of AI and its potential impact on various professions, particularly focusing on professional drivers. Users highlight how AI is already being used in unexpected ways, such as generating code, creating art, and simulating complex tasks like driving and transport management. One user, tonkaboy, emphasizes that AI is not just a future threat but is already disrupting industries, with implications for drivers, trainers, and transport managers. Others note that AI can learn quickly and perform tasks faster than humans, raising concerns about job displacement. The conversation also touches on AI’s ability to mimic human behavior, generate realistic content, and even write code or create images, suggesting that many white-collar jobs may be at risk. While some see AI as a tool for efficiency and personalization, others warn of its potential misuse, such as creating deceptive content or gaining control over systems. The thread underscores a broader anxiety about technological disruption and the UK’s readiness for an AI-driven future, especially compared to countries like China, which are investing heavily in AI education and infrastructure. Overall, the discussion reflects a mix of fascination, fear, and urgency about the transformative power of AI.
