Community is the future of AI: Blog post and community discussion
&gt;&gt;Just as tractors made farmers more productive ...<p>really,  that is example used?  If AI will do to development was tractors did to farming there is not going to be many developers left.<p>&gt;&gt;today’s AI the potential for the loss of certain jobs, yes, but also, if history is a guide, a future in which a great variety of more highly skilled work<p>Ag -&gt; Industrial -&gt; Information transitions were all supported by a mix of massive expansion in population, mass migration of populations, and globalization of economies<p>information -&gt; automation &#x2F; AI transition does not seem to have these 3 things in the same way. Globalism is slowing or reversing into protectionism. Migration is still high but seemingly for different reasons (geopolitical) as people displaced for war, crime, or climate and critical for this discussion population growth as SLOWED way down, and it expected to reverse about 2040.<p>This means people looking at the historical models for how these tech disruptions played out are very flawed in their &quot;everything will be just fine because Farmers became factory workers, and factory workers became developers&quot;<p>Current economic models may not play out like they did in the past.  History may rhyme, but it does not actually repeat.<p>Also lets not forget the terrible way society in general handled these previous transitions that resulted is massive amounts of suffering for the people displaced.  &quot;Learn to AI&quot; can not become the mantra of the day like &quot;Learn to Code&quot; did....<p>My prediction is we will see a MASSIVE increase in wealth gaps, and extreme decrease in standard of living in most of the industrial world (we are already seeing this in a limited way) leading to more and more political instability
