We may finally be entering the Humans Need Not Apply era. I think this has the potential to be beneficial for society in the long-term, but there will be a transition period that we will need to handle carefully.
It’s also kind of interesting to see how the predictions have changed, 10 years on. We’re still worried about the basic idea, but it seems less imminent, and there may be a period where blue collar workers fare the best. CGP thought blue collar workers would be replaced; in present tense, even.
Case in point, Baxter was discontinued in 2018. Word on the street is that he sucked, and the demonstrations were very produced. Self driving cars “were there”, but they didn’t “work” like he said; not a very important few percent of the time, anyway.
