With the lastest news of AI layoffs, I’m struggling to understand how the idea of a career still holds. If careers themselves effectively become gambles like lottery tickets, how do we maintain drive and hopes in the longterm endgame of our struggles?
I know AI as an honest utility is itself a lie to some extent, but this only aids my argument further. People’s career struggles are panning out to be valueless because of a nothing-fad that no one could have predicted.
It turns out gen AI is good at training virtual robots, which can then be embodied in robots like this guy. There’s a $16,000 Chinese version of that robot that’s a bit smaller. There’s a robot dog that GPT4 trained to balance on a beach ball, and the NVIDIA pen twirling training. I guess what I’m saying is… robots exist.
