I think it will have some positive benefits like no more child labor and freeing people from miserable and dangerous jobs, giving people more time to do things they like doing. But it will also have negative effects such as taking away work people find meaningful. I predict some jobs will still remain, specifically those where human workers like doing them and the people who benefit from the labor prefer humans doing them. -I predict that if nothing is done to incentivize students, they'll be discouraged from attending higher education since their future jobs will be automated anyways. Perhaps students won't be discouraged though if going to university is more of a sociocultural expectation than a rational economic choice they're making. +I predict that if nothing is done to incentivize students, they'll be discouraged from attending higher education since their future jobs will be automated anyways.

There are worrying trends that I hope reverse themselves, such as AI surveillance taking U.S. prisons by storm. That terrifies me because U.S. prisons are already farcically punitive unlike [reasonable prison systems](/2021/02/03/documentary-the-norden-prison/), [there are far too many Americans in jail](/2022/03/05/website-visualizing-wealth-inequality-and-mass-incarceration/) many of which haven't even been convicted, and many of which have been convicted, but for breaking [unjust laws](/2020/11/08/legalize-all-drugs/). |
