I talked with one of the best AI guru's in the world yesterday. We worked together to set up the military's first AI environment in 2010. He called because his bosses wanted to see if I wanted in on a massive AI project in retail banking since I had set up the first cloud at Bank of America. But, my memory issues are going to keep me retired. You need 100% of your functioning brain and memory to do those jobs.
When's the downside of AI coming? He said:
- He thinks in the next 3-4 years, the USA will lose 5% of our jobs.
He thinks in the next 5-6 years, the USA will lose 10% of our jobs.
He thinks in the next 10 years, the USA will lose 25% of our jobs.
Thinks we will have to have the government give every citizen some level of minimum money to stave off riots and starvation.
He got caught hacking by someone else turning him in to get themself off. Looking at a 25 year sentence. He took a deal to work for the military for 10 years in which he got paid very well by the military.
He had to do whatever they wanted, in any location in the world, plus good work reviews or the 25 years will be served. Worked with about 5-6 of those techs forced to work with the military. All of them were some of the smartest humans I ever met in my 66 years on this earth.
