I’ve noticed the change in narrative that super intelligence is no longer discussed over the past couple of weeks and now it’s an extremely powerful tool we have. Bezos described it as giving people large shovels. Jobs aren’t going away and there’s just be new jobs we’ll do. Doctors, lawyers and everything will still exist but they’ll be supported by the Ai. Many economists state this time isn’t different and the economy will take a while to work Ai through. A while still being quicker than what many of the labs state.

I think Ray Kurzweil also states that people will still have jobs in his book as well. There will be more jobs for people to do.

I’m curious what the take is within this community? Economists argue that tech leaders don’t understand the economy. What’s your position on jobs? It seems like we’ll have super intelligence but the old economy still exists at the same time. (Ex. We still have a housing crisis but where we can use robots but choose the union workers instead)

Seems like every country in the western world is having the exact same problem. I don’t know why but I’m in Canada and every municipality has its own rules to build.

With this what are solutions to build more homes. I’ve heard of pre-fab, and 3D printed homes but again with each city having its own rules it makes it difficult to scale. It seems like the solution isn’t technology it’s just us.

My understanding is the US has the same problem. What’s the solution for this? Is there any meaningful progress being made to address housing costs being so high?

It seems like everything else has gotten cheaper except for the big items.

Hello, I have a 73 year old male senior family member who is always angry or in a bad mood. He spends a lot of time on his Phone/iPad watching opinion videos of the government how the particular government in power wasting tax dollars, how the government is corrupt. He will send our group chat maybe 20 videos daily about how the government is corrupt and we’ve since muted our notifications because much of it is some random guy on the internet just complaining and saying x person is bad. He also can’t tell what’s Ai or what’s real.

When I go over I’d have a standard conversation and it just turns into how the government is bad and corrupt. How his taxes are being wasted. He goes on about carbon taxes or bike lanes are ruining the city.

Anyways this family member never leaves the house or it’s really hard to get him to leave other than groceries. He sleeps a lot and helps around the house. He gets upset at the smallest thing his spouse does verbally (not physical). He has no friends and just his family.

He doesn’t think he has any problems with him and everyone else is a problem, we’ve told him to go to the doctor and he refuses. He has a very negative outlook, victim mentality, doesn’t let anyone speak and makes comments that the only trip he’s gonna go on is underground. For context this individual has done well off in life but complains to a business about being charged maybe 10 cents. There are points where he’s in a good mood but it’s hit and miss.

We don’t really know what to do at this point. Any recommendations?
