Three labor economists debate whether AI will reverse the Industrial Revolution by making human labor abundant

@rohanpaul_ai A clear evidence of nobody knows anything where this paranoia is heading towards. The only thing certain is that a lot is about to happen both positive and negative. And historically before a giant leap humankind has alwyas gone through some of the deepest troubles.

@TheRocketMediaX @rohanpaul_ai This is important to note. Media fear complex only highlights the negative as they always do. But in early innings of one of the biggest, most accelerated technological leaps in history

Good stuff >>> "We’ve never had a tech revolution where there were fewer jobs at the end of it. Historically, counting out the ability of humans to find new forms of work has been a very bad bet." @marthagimbel https://www.wsj.com/economy/jobs/ai-jobs-economists-f787105d?st=bmw7nW via @WSJ

@rohanpaul_ai Brother i have a question ❓ All work is done by machine, people will be jobless. If jobless people ask everything for free. Because they have no job, how you will distribute wealth. Your intelligence and strength don't count then how will you distribute.

@rohanpaul_ai It’s not just the AI. It’s the AI + robotics. People are thinking professional/white collar jobs. Most likely, it will be any job that an AI-robot (humanoid, or built into a factory) can touch, with some exceptions that require human judgment/experience or creativity.

@rohanpaul_ai

@rohanpaul_ai @davidautor’s prediction is the right one. Unless world models advance faster than expected, then all bets are off.

@rohanpaul_ai autor and gimbel are just describing the same coordination failure. tasks break down everyone freaks out instead of aggregating demand for what people actually want to learn or do next. its not rocket science its just bad market signals

@rohanpaul_ai Yes, thanks for sharing it; the other parts to matrix out are the scenarios v region (USA/NA, China, Europe, India, Africa) and willingness to adopt. It seems to be a fragmented future even before any geopolitical dimensions. 🤔

@rohanpaul_ai Same evidence pointing three directions usually means we're measuring the wrong thing. From what I see day to day, AI isn't deleting roles so much as quietly raising the bar for what counts as entry-level. The disruption is real, it's just hiding inside job descriptions.

@rohanpaul_ai Siempre le digo a la gente que la inversión brutal en IA, chips, robots, energía, biotecnología, nanotecnología, etc no es para que, en 2030-2040, el mundo sea un poquito diferente a 2026. En todo avance anterior no hablábamos de máquina con inteligencia autónoma. Hoy sí.

@JimPethokoukis @marthagimbel @WSJ History supports this

@rohanpaul_ai AI changes tasks faster than it replaces entire careers

@JimPethokoukis @marthagimbel @WSJ I can name a few. It depends on what you qualify as “tech”. Was the automobile tech? Washing machines?

@JimPethokoukis @marthagimbel @WSJ Like predicting the stock market - nobody knows anything, no matter how much they try to convince you otherwise.

@JimPethokoukis @marthagimbel @WSJ AI is just like every other technology, right? Come on.

@rohanpaul_ai Jobless people will have mental and physical health problems. You have to do phisical work to have a good sleep it's what you're body programmed for generations. It's bumbest Idea to turn human as useless in supply chain.

@McRaeDan @rohanpaul_ai 100% - AI eventually closing in on blue and white collar jobs in the next 10 years.

@rohanpaul_ai Yes, all of 1 *and* 2. Maybe some 3 as well.

@JimPethokoukis @marthagimbel @WSJ Can't see the post - what's the take?
