\nIn the United States, the best opportunity for reducing inequity is to improve education, particularly making sure that students succeed at math. The evidence shows that having basic math skills sets students up for success, no matter what career they choose. But achievement in math is going down across the country, especially for Black, Latino, and low-income students. AI can help turn that trend around.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nBill, I know that you know better than that. Education barely changes anything around inequality. We have generations upon generations who did better scholarly and are still struggling financially. Here is the most recent example:<\/p>\n
5 years ago we were telling students \u201cdo CS, you\u2019ll be fine\u201d<\/em>. Today, they are or have graduated, AI is a reality, and we need ten times less programmers in 2023 than we thought we needed in 2018<\/strong>.<\/p>\n(for those who don\u2019t know, AI is very good at programming)<\/p>\n
That means, all those 2018 students are now competing with no end in sight. One will get a job, the next 199 will not. They all did what they were supposed to. They\u2019re all probably good enough to get a job, it\u2019s just that AI exists now but didn\u2019t five years ago. And you know how companies love their employees, right?<\/p>\n
BILL, WAKE THE FUCK UP<\/p>\n
It is just the beginning and it is already massively disruptive. AI literally doesn\u2019t help the way things used to be, today.<\/p>\n
\nFirst, we should try to balance fears about the downsides of AI\u2014which are understandable and valid\u2014with its ability to improve people\u2019s lives. To make the most of this remarkable new technology, we\u2019ll need to both guard against the risks and spread the benefits to as many people as possible.<\/em><\/p>\nSecond, market forces won\u2019t naturally produce AI products and services that help the poorest. The opposite is more likely. With reliable funding and the right policies, governments and philanthropy can ensure that AIs are used to reduce inequity. Just as the world needs its brightest people focused on its biggest problems, we will need to focus the world\u2019s best AIs on its biggest problems.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nThe solution is called Universal Basic Income. For all who do not own property. Society living on top of jobs that pay for everything, is over. It\u2019s been gradually over with technological achievements decade after decade since the end of WWII, if we want to be honest. And that\u2019s fine. Wealth just needs to be redistributed equally.<\/p>\n
AI \u2014that I\u2019m toying with everyday and everyday I\u2019m thinking holy fucking shit\u2014 is the nail in the coffin of society propelled by jobs. There\u2019s so much of what\u2019s the point with this tool next to me?<\/em> Yes, paradigm shift. It\u2019s real.<\/p>\nWhat\u2019s the next step?<\/p>\n
I\u2019d like GPT10 to control and manage the federal banks around the world, balancing interest rates and money in a rational way, providing enough for all, which is totally doable without AI but yup, greedy little bags of meat.<\/p>\n
But before that UBI now, y\u2019all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
