@miriamweller812 it is a solution though. Even if AI replaces some jobs it will create or change others. You cant stop technology from changing but you can adapt to it. So you can either accept the risk of AI killing your job and do nothing or do something. Best case you learned and grew and probably make more money as a result or you lost your job but now have the skills (in this example likely with knowledge of how to effectively use certain AI tools) to go find a solid replacement. But in my experience at my company most people would rather sit back, keep doing the same thing every day with minimal growth, then complain about their pay. Doing so is a choice though.

While in theory this is good advice, it ignores the time and potential cost of spending the time learning in general or learning one thing over another, time that people in many cases do not have, or who cannot afford to pay to learn in , or who do not have the ability to learn due to any other circumstances. learning a given skill is a gamble on whether you will benefit, or suffer due to not having done something else, while this model assumes learning is a free task that always benefits you, and that your changed job is still fulfilling providing it was already pre AI. Long Edit: I really should have stated that I still think that learning when and where you can is good, but that it think this "Pascal's wager" model of learning is flawed because everything has an opportunity cost that is not factored in: Not learning a new thing gives more time to spend with family, or working towards a promotion, or sleeping which could leave you happier in the long run. There are always going to be better and worse things to learn, I'm sure that everyone has had subjects that they spent time learning that they wish they hadn't had to, and the bit about "learning is an intrinsic reward" misses that not all learning is equal, different topics and skills require different learning approaches that may have less cross compatibility and benefit provided, than practicing and enhancing existing skills. Lots of people simply do not have the time or option to do so effectively, but are given advice like this that while well meaning, misses the point that in order to learn enough, they have to sacrifice sleep, free time or work hours, all of which can leave you worse off either mentally or financially: Unhappy people also struggle more with work, and doing less work makes you easier to fire. In short, learning is good and can have great payouts if things work out, but it isn't a free action and the value gained is never guaranteed to outweigh what you could have had in terms of time spent relaxing, with family and friends, practicing existing skills or finding a new job and it is unhelpful and unfair to shame people for not learning when they either made a choice to do something else, or didn't have a choice. (To be clear Thor is not doing this but lots of people do do so, so I thought I'd make that point too)

You will always benefit from larger understanding, especially if you choose well, which is 100% controllable. Choose something that will always benefit you, like business or reading about the world from different mostly non-biased outlets. Either way, you’re assuming you don’t actually have an idea of what will be good to learn. This is false. Computer science the way it is will change drastically, meaning you should not learn it in school, and instead learn the logistical pieces on your own using AI if you still want to do it. Going in the direction of cultivating emotional intelligence or other general skills that will help you in anything is a direction you will always benefit from. It is only a gamble if you don’t know enough about the world and the way huge changes like AI will impact it. If you don’t know that, then that is actually what you should be learning first, not the random skills that you claim to be a gamble.

I'd like to open a quick discussion on this short: the 3rd option should actually result in a positive outcome, rather than a negative one. If you listen to his reasoning, it's... weird? "You get nothing and the AI is not there to stop"? (paraphrased). Stop what? What does that mean? The real outcome is that the AI didn't take your job, you didn't learn anything new, but you *get to keep your job* which was the original premise of being afraid of AI taking your job. The actual game here is that by choosing whether to learn stuff or not learn stuff, given the current criteria, you have either a 100% good outcome, or a 50/50 good/bad outcome. It's still always better to choose to learn new things, but if the AI doesn't take your job, you're still safe. Unless what he means is that AI isn't going to stop advancing and it will 100% take your job eventually anyway, which would make the 3rd option redundant as it's the same as the 1st option.

It shows you learn quick because you were not fired, you left when you got bored. That means you are fast to adapt. A company likes an employee who is quick with the uptake." Turns out a person who has stayed at a company for more than five years with very little career progress is a red flag to them because this means you just stayed there and got paid without doing much. I was shocked they correctly guessed that I got bored quick with jobs though.

What he's saying here is even if AI becomes widely used in something you do professionally or are interested in learning it would be dumb to think those skills you learned or could have learned are now meaningless. You can apply those skills to something more niche that's in demand or apply the skills you acquired from learning your expertise to something else... Basically don't let AI make you a doomer is what he's trying to say. But yeah in reality, my opinion is AI is going to be extremely disruptive to the economy but won't be able to replace everyone and has yet to prove itself reliable. Should we get a true general AI that ends up replacing huge numbers of careers the economic consequences will be so sever that government intervention or regulation will be needed.

This video does not solely pertain to your ability to get a job, it is just a general description of what makes you "better off" regardless of whether you have one or not. No job no learning is worse than no job with learning. And you can't control whether AI will let you keep your job.

To willingly accept a society that is slowly eaten away by lions chasing groups of people down and eating the slowest because you'll never be able to outrun the lion yourself is pretty brutal. You can't outrun the lion, you can't kill the lion (even if you do, there's always another lion), and unfortunately building a structure to protect everybody from the lions is too much to think about. So we'd rather sacrifice the slowest people, hoping that by the time you end up being the slowest person, the lions won't be hungry anymore.

It happened before in China when AI art proliferated there first, even when the quality is better, they still charge a high cost, despite the quality being rushed. And most of the people just return back to the human artists to create pieces that the client wants in a way that they wanted, in a quality that they desire, in a price that is reasonable to both the client and the artist. Perhaps the costs of running these AI generators are going to go down and the quality rises above human standards, so what? People will still seek and even appreciate human made art, and there is a certain price to the experience of it all, which is a lot better than just generating it in one go and it's done. It's like with serving a drink in a bar, while it may be cheaper to have your own drink and custom ice made with a machine that can do that for you at home, it'll never match the showmanship and the experience of having it served to you by a skilled bartender.

It's not an always thing. You just have to generally improve over time, which is something that should happen for everyone. If you don't improve, you don't get much further than where you start. Where AI comes in is that it scares some people into staying out of jobs that could potentially get "took over". Whether it does or doesn't happen, the experience you get even just in the process of learning for the job (not even including the job, the job will most likely be there when you're ready) is valuable and will help you for a long time. This isn't the best example of it, but I could go to university and get a degree in computer science, and even if computer science jobs became vastly out of reach of most graduates, I would still have experience I could use to get another job. If AI takes over almost every well-paid job to the point where the common man just does the worst jobs for pitiful pay, that's a dystopia and will affect you regardless of your choice in getting experience. Only way to avoid that is to become the man who benefits from the dystopia, a wealthy elite.

From what I've gathered from my field of work is that some people don't want to learn anything new is because they're comfortable in their current duties and don't want to expand because they don't want more responsibilities without increase in pay.

@@OddlyIncrediblea lot of people are either comfortable with what they have, work their 9-5 role and do the minimum without any interest in anything new or growing their career lol. I know a fair amount of people that have been in the same department for 30+ years, content with what they have. Nothing wrong with that but I can't imagine doing the same stuff day in, day out for even more than a year

@@ithilpalladium The only reason I go to work is because I need the money. I am comfortable doing it, I have everything under control, when I leave the office there is nothing I have to worry about until the next morning. Peace of mind. I don't need change. My salary increases automatically due to my German union. I don't need or want change.

@@Konrad-z9w Compare and contrast with the US, where employees have very few legal protections, there are no large-scale unions except in a handful of industries, and in 49 out of 50 states an employer can fire any employee for any reason - or no reason at all - except for a few very specific "protected classes." Add to this an absence of social support services and "safety nets" for dealing with unexpected emergencies. The US does not have mandatory vacation time, sick leave, or maternity leave, healthcare is very, _VERY_ expensive, and health insurance is tied to employment, so over 60% of the country's workforce is one sufficiently severe illness or accident away from destitution and possible homelessness. The US almost _requires_ having backups and contingency plans for dealing with surprises.

Hey I'm planning on going to college to learn 3D animation next year and specialize in rigging so i can work in the video game industry and move out to the US, AI was a bit scary for me until now and i was a bit scared of wasting my time in college.

im telling you, quit right now. ive been in the video game industry for the past 5 years and its terrible, unless you want to build a project by yourself. It need to be a hobby. You will end up in a job where 50% of your work will be unpaid, you will be shit on all the time, yelled at, and the moment you say anything to defend yourself you will be fired. You will have a low salary and nobody on your side. We love video games, but the ppl paying to make them hates you, and the ppl buying video games dont give a crap about you. It will destroy you. Find something else and try to make your own vodeo game in your spare time, maybe with other ppl, but for the love that is everything dont try to jump into the industry

3D animation is a tough one for AI to get, as a programmer I reckon you'll be safe for a long time yet. Seeing as 3D animation takes a model and makes it move how you want, any AI that does that will need to be told how you want the model to move, have lots and lots of data on different 3D animations given attached models and animation descriptions, have extra specifics you can add to dive into detail of how exactly stuff should move, etc. To get that much data, there will most likely need to be many billions of accurate samples before it starts becoming moderate quality, and all the high-quality animations will remain done by animators for an extremely long time. If AI can't replace a 3D modeler, it's completely incapable of replacing an animator. That's my take on it, we'll see how well it stands in 50 years. There's another reply here quite negative about the animation industry, and I can't say much about it because I haven't been a part of it, but I reckon small studios would be a lot better to work in than AAAs, for the most part. I'd say not to give up on animation entirely, but do research on a company before applying (I think it's obvious but it should be said) and don't be afraid to jump ship if you're being treated badly.

But I'll still move to the US after that because it's my dream since I was a child and I really want to go work at Valve, I know they take only the best that's why I'm planning specializing on rigging because no one wants to do this job, and i heard it pays fairly well.

If no one has any jobs and there aren't jobs that humans can do anymore but corporations still charge money they'll all become redundant since no one will purchase anything from them. Corporations rely on the fact that people have enough money to buy their products but if there aren't any sources of income anymore then they no longer have customers. At some point they'd either stop charging for things because money and human labour become irrelevant or human labour will stay relevant regardless of how advanced AI is.
