    If AI takes my job it’s already taken everyone else’s job. So non I guess.

    Seriously though if it gets to that point, and I don’t think it will I think AI is overhyped, governments are going to have to either put up or get lynched.

      This, exactly!

      I’ll accept a substantial ownership stake in the whole place, in exchange for making a leasurely attempt to pull their asses out of the fire.

    Depends.

    My main job it would be interesting. I mainly plan for organisations how to handle disasters. Not necessarily IT disasters but actual one - what happens if your hospital is on fire, your airline has hundreds of people stranded somewhere (yeah, we had a bad time recently), your muncipial water supply goes bad, the Russians actually come,etc.

    If AI can do that on a level it replaces my staff and me…well…good for everyone else,because right now it’s a underdeveloped and rarely looked upon issue.

    In my side job I am still working in my original trade as a critical care paramedic. Until AI can fully replace one there it will take a long time (but we see a lof of actually beneficial developments that makes the job insanely more easy and capable) and I am very likely retired by then. What is far more likely is that societies won’t be able to pay for proper healthcare anymore…and that would be “not replaced” technically, I guess.

    I’m not convinced that there’s enough training data for it to be good in my specialization anytime soon. And it certainly won’t be trusted for safety critical applications even if that were to happen.

    That being said I’m very, very, glad to not be in CS or law where there is nearly endless data to train on.

        Serious question: Anyone seen a janitor robot running anywhere that wasn’t constantly filthly?

        I have only encountered janitor bots fighting in vain in places that have clearly gone decades (or one astonishingly abusive hour) without a successful cleaning.

    I work in cybersecurity. My job is in no danger. AI seems to be an expert in things until you start asking it questions about a subject you’re an expert in. Then it all falls apart. Anyone who thinks they’re using AI for cybersecurity or thinks AI can do cybersecurity knows nothing about cybersecurity.

    The only people who would use AI for cybersecurity wouldn’t hire a cybersecurity firm anyway but would instead ask their friend Bob who “knows computers” and would get roughly the same level of expertise as a result and feel just as happy about either.
