Even without AGI, current AI progress will absolutely sink the value of human labour over the following decades. Everyday more tasks can be automated, more white collar work can be done by less people. New grads will have no reason to be hired other than the 10-15 years of investment turning them into the next seniors, and competition between this ever decreasing pool of jobs will only get fiercer.
How does the average person fare in this new world?

True. Most people won’t be needed and that’s why many coders and white collar workers are coping and shitting their pants

kek, now sue openai for their hallucinations, oh wait you can't, even a fucking call center worker can be sued, all these tasks with 80% success rate are useless when you can have 20% catastrophy rate and get sued for serving a hallucination, good luck selling that

Great. I'm sure AI bros will be excited to feed everyone once unemployment goes above 50% and everyone lives off of their taxes.

Hey retard, they already did. Have you been living under a rock?

Badly. I envision something like a new industrial revolution, a return to the 19th century where the working and living conditions of the average person were absolutely abysmal.

Ill tell you what will happen. Everyone will get a one room 3d printed ugly concrete igloo with a fire toilet or something. Then theyll get like enough money for food and clothes. Therell be cameras everywhere and no savings allowed. Thatll be after the mass riots and lots of killing of cops.

if the bubble does burst, should i start preparing and buying gold and silver? governments will obviously bail out these scamming ai companies at our expense

>>107882515
They will not. We are looking at a massive population cull as most humans are no longer necessary for productivity. This is a good thing.

Post YFW AI will kill you, but not via Skynet, but by blowing up the economy by failing to deliver, thus shattering the marker, thus shattering consumer confidence, thus leading to US debt to GDP becoming even more fucked, thus leading to a credit downgrade, thus leading to the collapse of US economy once all the debt gets unrepayable, thus killing global economy, thus killing all trade, thus leaving you a destitute fool left holding the bag.

>value of human labor
nonsensical phrase. What decreases is the necessary human labor for the purposes of present production requirements.
>How does the average person fare in this new world
This is not a private problem. Either new markets emerge that leverage the AI-assisted human labor force, or wages start decreasing and commodity circulation falters, which leads to a generalized economic crisis. In the second case it's not the average person that fares poorly, it's most people. This is like capitalism 101.

Ngl chatgpt kinda sucks now given how limited it is now and how expensive it is now. 2024 was better than it is now.
>>
>>107882377
It's not automation. It's much simpler. Supply and demand. There are too many people, so supply goes up. When supply is up, the price goes down.

Stop migration. Stop fighting "demographic crisis". (which is crisis for capitalists and a miracle for the people)

Too many people for what?

>>107884103
It's perfectly sensical, you're just being a semantic faggot. OP clearly means the market value/wage compensation for human labor, which is absolutely real and measurable.
>Either new markets emerge or wages decrease and crisis
New markets can emerge AND wages can stagnate AND people can get displaced simultaneously. That's literally what's been happening since the 70s. If this was actually capitalism 101, the system would handle it through normal market mechanisms. You're describing a crisis scenario that breaks standard economic models, then labeling it basic capitalism. Which is it?
>>
>>107883558
Banks got bailed out in 2008 because banks had become deeply embedded in basically everything involving money. Meanwhile AI companies don't even have a product. Their losses are meaningless because they aren't real businesses, they don't DO anything. Why would anyone bail them out? You can't even argue that a comically energy inefficient chatbot or image generator is strategically critical technology.
