People Are Increasingly Worried AI Will Make Daily Life Worse::A Pew survey finds that a majority of Americans are more concerned than excited about the impact of artificial intelligence—adding weight to calls for more regulation.
Yup so far. It’s the beginning of the curve now when everything is new and awesome.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
just wanted to say, username checks out
Its life experience my man :)
Said the same above but will share here too. I actually see that curve another way. We will not need the employers. I used to be an employee and now I am independent and doing the work that would normally require a team of people and big money backing it all up. I think this is going to become more and more apparent as time goes on as while yes, AI will benefit corporations, it also equally benefit individuals. Corporations are the ones who are most in trouble. Cute that they think they are going to be the winners here.
I’ve been a contractor too so I know what you mean. But most people are not and don’t want to be. It’s more risky and most people just want safety.
I agree but we really need to encourage those who think they are in a safe employee job that they are not safe and that they need to start investing in themselves. Something on the side to start, but something. Anything. Even if it fails as you still learn something. The age of employees is coming to an end and the more energy you put into holding on to that is less energy in adapting to the new world emerging. Follow a passion and develop new skills. You can love your work.
I have the same mindset as you and I agree, but I have almost never managed to convince someone else to go into contracting. They don’t want to risk that sweet stable income. :)
Also some of them buy into the entire thing with colleagues being their friends etc etc.
Some of them prioritize family in front of work and want their jobs to be as easy as possible so they can focus on their families instead.
But yes, to me being an employee is the worst form of employment. You usually don’t learn much after the initial year, and you get lazy and stop learning. Your skills are therefore not growing anymore. Getting a new job is harder, and you are likely to accept the first offer once you want to switch.
Right. Plus most of not all employers have this attitude that they own you and can abuse and exploit you as you are there for their gain now.
