    AI, the one currently used for actual productive work by scientific researchers, healthcare specialists, energy development, manufacturing, agriculture and such, is poised to be able to handle about 20% of all human related work by 2040.

    By 2043, it will be able to handle 100% of any human related work in the fields. The takeoff is merely 3 years

    It’s fine if you guys want to live in a little mental bubble where this doesn’t happen

    But I’d suggest you start getting ready for what comes next.

      Oh boy I can’t wait for our currently robust social safety net and already existent universal basic income to allow us to live a life pursuing the things that make us happy, rather then multi-billionaires firing everyone and the world becoming a plutocracy where the average person struggles to get even the bare minimum.

        The source is a research paper that the AI I community have been going on about for a few days now. I can’t link to it right now because I’m at work but I’ll update when I can.

        But if you Google for it you will find it as it’s been a fairly hot topic the last few days.

      I think you should post sources for your claims. This sounds stupidly wrong. Are you American?
