So, I just read this article that really got me thinking about where AI is headed, and it’s kind of unsettling. The writer talks about AI like it’s this incredible, awe-inspiring force—like watching a fire, you know? But it’s not all good news. He argues that AI might actually make inequality worse, and not just for a few people but on a massive scale.
Think about it: during the Industrial Revolution, some jobs still survived despite the rise of machines. But AI? It could wipe out *all* kinds of jobs, even those that need human care like teaching and nursing. And while some people say AI could lead to a world where we all have more free time, it’s hard to believe that’s realistic. I mean, without meaningful work, what would we even do with all that time?
He also makes a point that we really need to "negotiate" with AI before it’s too late—set up rules and frameworks to make sure it benefits everyone, not just the super-rich or governments using it for war and surveillance. It’s a tricky conversation, but it has.
