In theory I can always do a short verbal test. But apart from the shock effect that doesn't have any consequences...

With the difference that the industrial revolution created a lot of new jobs with better pay. While AI doesn't. I see people suggesting that this has happened before and soon it will turn the economic situation into something much better. But I don't see that at all. Just because it's also a huge revolution, doesn't mean it will have the same effects.

As you have written, people will have to switch into manual jobs like layering bricks and wiping butts. The pay in these jobs won't increase just because more people have to work them.

Your fear is in so far justified as that some employers will definitely aim to reduce their workforce by implementing AI workflow.

When you have worked for the same employer all this time, perhaps you don't know, but a lot of employers do not give two shits about code quality. They want cheap and fast labour and having less people churning out more is a good thing in their eyes, regardless of (long-term) quality. May sound cynical, but that is my experience.

My prediction is that the income gap will increase dramatically because good pay will be reserved for the truly exceptional few. While the rest will be confronted with yet another tool capitalists will use to increase profits.

Maybe very far down the line there is blissful utopia where no one has to work anymore. But between then and now, AI would have to get a lot better. Until then it will be mainly used by corporations to justify hiring less people.

If you read online about current discussions regarding nature VS nurture, people are actually influenced more by a combination of peer pressure and media/cultural influence than their parents.

Sadly this also means that it's unlikely that, as a parent, you have much of a chance to work against those influences.

Sadly, this is even an issue at university. As a lecture assistant I will just get ignored or not taken seriously by some groups of young male students. They will talk loudly, ignore my request to not talk during lecture or exercise. My male colleagues don't have such issues and it angers me more each year...

This is the same argument as with "All Lives matter". Why do people have to be against feminism to talk about issues men face? Because that is what I am seeing. On Lemmy or even Reddit, I didn't see people laugh about male domestic abuse victims. But literally every discussion about it had misogynistic and anti-feminist comments.

Instead of emancipating from dehumanising and rigid gender norms for men, it seems like these Tate fans and red pillers and sigma, alpha men are trying to turn back the clock.

You want to tell them: "Stop, you are running into the wrong direction!"

Or just baggage, which isn't particularly healthy for your mental state. When looking at my circle of friends, at the latest when your ~35 you will have lived through cheating or other types of betrayal. People often are just assholes to each other and hurt people hurt people.

I see this as an additional reason though, to not date someone who is still very young.

But that's... not the issue here? Men are much more attractive when they are 20 compared to 40 as well.

That doesn't make me creep around university trying to get into their pants. It also doesn't inspire me to write sexist stuff online, etc.

There's a lot you can help here, though.

1. Don't be a creep.

2. Don't lie to your partner about this.

3. Don't spin some weird sexist or misogynistic bs theories out of your attraction.

That's it. Doesn't seem too hard but you'd be surprised how many are struggling with these simple rules of decency and respect.

What you seem to are saying is that specifically and exclusively people who work on software, music and digital art should give away their labour for free.

You can buy those movies on physical medium though.
