   I feel like this whole discussion about jobs and tariffs misses the point. Both parties are missing the point that jobs will go away regardless of what we do. The human beings required to maintain and run AI will not make up for the jobs lost by AI. We need to prepare for an AI future. How do we take care of the people?

     @tmstreet AI isn't going to do anybody's jobs except scammers'.

     Actual automation of productive work would. But our country likes bullshit jobs not productive ones anyway...

     @Eka_FOOF_A @tmstreet Robots are automation of actual work which is pretty much the opposite of AI. But also this looks like a gimmick to build investor and/or customer hype, not actual useful deployment.

     Hate to burst your bubble, but humanoid robots are already doing factory work.
