Before 1750 the average peasant worked roughly 120 to 150 days a year.

Furthermore, the medieval calendar was packed with official church holidays and festivals. In winter people could only work day light hours.

Yet UK parliament yet a few wealthy elite control land. Image
So suddenly they were forced to work all hours under a new invention, the light bulb.

Conditions got exploitative, with next to no days off and working all hours inside in dangerous factories.

Yet the industrial revolution could have happened without the need to work that much.
We must learn these lessions from history and devise system to help.

“I believe you will win. I am convinced you will win and we will do everything we can to provide you with what you need to win."

There was a proxy war against RUS in 2017. In Donbas where a high percentage were pro Russian fighting for independence.
politico.eu/article/us-sen…
Putin pushed for a compromise deal, where Donbas remains part of Ukraine but the people were given autonomy to block provocative laws such as laws stopping them speaking their native language at work.
John McCain and Lindsey Graham did not want to seek compromise or talks, they wanted war.

Blocks to fix behind poor Western war policies:

1. Press who want to sell sensationalist stories about enemies, good vs evil. And please sponsors.

2. No clear strategy that supports a peaceful approach. New leaders come in and act on whim.

Cont.
3. Intel services who do disruptive ill thought out ops in secret. No consideration of side effects and long term consequences.

4. MIC who make money b/c people believe we have enemies. Sponsor think tanks experts. Press, knowing good vs evil sells, interview them.

Cont
5. Reward structure in government and military that pays off leaders in personal salary who supported the MIC. Often tens of times more dollars than they earned during state wages. Arguably meaning they really worked for the MIC and its interests.

Two world wars came at a time of great industrial growth.

Now with the possibility of AI creating massive growth in outputs and capabilities, is the time not to be losing trust with other nations and starting arms races. An AI backed arms race could be deadly.
Paranoia, fear hype, response. A vicious circle thst could lead to both sides building up massive numbers of drones, missiles etc. And then getting so paranoid one strikes first in preemptive defence.

So we ruin all the good AI would bring with a stupid arms race and war.
It's not just AI being in charge that is the problem, it's humans.

Esp with the sys we have in place now. MIC is allowed to fund so many lobbiests/experts at think tanks. And our media is happy to interview them as stories of "RUS/China bad" sell news.

AI is very useful. It's not yet all that intelligent. But it can:

* look up specific info or opinions
* come up with ideas
* check things over to maybe find SOME issues
* summarise
* tell you if it thinks are argument is true, false, nuanced,(summary of trained data)

cont
* rehash data or summaries you tell it to find, e.g. into a simple maths equation which it can look up and do, or into table form

* use templates, to write letters or reports
* be corrected or take additional instructions, understanding the basic semantic (higher level) manipulations you ask for, or detail changes you made

(simple intelligence, such as what type of data to place where, inc summaries and calculations. trained on conversations)

There's all kinds of predictions about this. We must remember people predicted robots making cars would kill jobs in the sector. But people ended up wanting nicer, faster, safer and more luxurious cars. People also like to use sophisticated software which does more & saves time.
Compare the early Facebook site to that of today. So many more features and complexity. Privacy options, groups, marketplace, chat, recommendations etc. All with many sub features to handle the complexity of life.
AI itself, will be a new feature to add into existing software in so many ways. We will need engineers to do that.

AI makes you "the boss".

Key future skills will be identifying gaps in the market for new innovative products. Designing/coding the product then becomes much easier thanks to your "AI workers" helping you out.
You will still need some funds, depending on business type. But areas where costs are brain power like software will require fewer.
In the early days of AI at least, you will still need at least one person who has advanced domain knowledge to spot mistakes the AI makes and to correct them. And to make sure the high level design choices are sound.
