Well, sure he's not getting rid of people right away. He needs to save face with the community and figure out the best way to make it work at first. Doesn't mean it won't happen next year.
Your mistake is in assuming the prices for things will go down, and that we will afford all we need with two hours salary. This probably won't be the case.
You hit the nail on the head with point two. Everything else you mention requires excellent managers to make it all hum along, and I think those are what are truly in short supply.
It's difficult to comment if you don't give more details. You say you work remotely so I assume you don't have to travel for long periods of time. How much of your personal time must you spend networking? Easy for that to become a job on top of a job. I know people who basically live on linked in and still can't find anything. At that point you're just living to work.
How can you base a theory on 'it has always been, so it always will be' while the very issue at hand is an advancement in technology that has never been seen before? Can someone please make an argument that actually acknowledges that things change over time, even if it is over a very long time? I'll bet the roman empire thought it would exist forever too. If one thing is for certain, human corruption and greed tends to cause a race to the bottom over time, which tends to destroy societies.
How can we expect to make our own coders if companies aren't creating a real draw for people to learn coding? Corporations are sending a message that you must move to them as opposed to where you want to live, you must work long hours, commute an hour to work and an hour back, and be dumped at 40. What kind of insane person would consider that as a good life choice when coming out of high school?
VR has *significant* drawbacks that still need to be resolved. For example, it makes a lot of people want to barf. I know people who can't even watch 3D movies for this reason. I'll be surprised if it ever becomes much more popular than 3D TV.
Personally I think because it has become vogue to think in this way, more people are, so there are more ideas regarding what can be done with it. In the end it is all just new uses of and ways of implementing rules, rather than any real thinking.
Let's face it, technology was exciting there for awhile but once PCs advanced to the level where they could show video it kind of got stuck. I think a lot of people are wondering 'is this it?' on some level or another. Yet we are climbing a ladder with rungs placed in an exponential fashion, not linear, and it is a long reach to the next one. The generation wants their technological advance and they are willing to delude themselves to get it.
Are they doing anything with AI today that couldn't have been done in the 80's? They're creating rules today, they could have created rules in the 80's. I think people are just running out of ideas more than anything.
With concerns over finding healthy meals to make as opposed to instant meals, I always find the 'chore' in grocery shopping is figuring out what to buy and how much of it. Once you figure out what to buy, going and getting it is almost like a vacation away from home. So I don't really understand services like this.
I was just thinking I'd sterilize 100 bottles I collected from somewhere, sell them, and be happy with the $100 I made. No reason to get greedy about it.

That, and it should be able to hold an intelligent conversation with the other player as well.
Like we need ANOTHER reason for corporations to automate.
I don't enjoy my life when I'm tired, so I'll take sleeping.

There is a large industry of providers that don't nickle and time people to host severs like Amazon does.

Eliza: How do you feel about companies over hyping AI?
?
But that's not due to AI. That is due to advancement in sensors. I asked what they are doing differently with AI itself.
Are they doing anything with AI today that couldn't have been done in the 80's? They're creating rules today, they could have created rules in the 80's. I think people are just running out of ideas more than anything.
Yeah I guess useful in places where you have to commute. I work from home.

Maybe they should have facial recognition scanners!
How can you ever fail at a business that doesn't cost you any money?
I was just thinking I'd sterilize 100 bottles I collected from somewhere, sell them, and be happy with the $100 I made. No reason to get greedy about it.
So basically the old 'rich get richer' story.
Judging by Slashdot, many people would rather breathe Elon Musk flatulent.
If it's that easy, surely more people would do it no?
I have spectacular well water where I live. How do I get in on this gig?
