Is Artificial Intelligence for Real?

AI and automation are going to cause a lot of problems for nearly every job market. The questions is when for each job market.

Programming isn't and never will be blue collar. Blue collar involves physical labor, white collar involves intellectual labor. Think about it more like this: there's not going to be a blue collar in a couple of decades.

>Btw I am currently in a bootcamp and I have no motivation to study Ruby for some reason
You never had an interest in programming in your youth, but felt it necessary in order to succeed in the job market. You decided to take the cheap ass' way out and jumped into a boot camp. You're probably not going to like your job.

you nailed it right in the coffin. i was a computer science major at rpi but dropped out after sophmore year when i decided to stupidly smoke myself stupid to bob marley land.

i really don't know what to do with myself now. i am a techie in that i like technology, building computers, gaming (duh), helping people with software issues, do you have any advice on what might be fulfilling for someone like me. Or maybe i'm just really not motivated enough. i work hard though at other things like volunteering and retail. >inb4 people start shitposting if they do want to take me down at my vulnerable moment on /g/

>implying that a majority of blue collar fags enjoy their jobs

Programming will eventually be taught in schools. This will kill the "coding" as a pathway to the upper class.

i am trying to build a website but shouldn't that be easier than coding?

i am more of an artsy fartsy type. i find i am in a weird place. i am technical person, yet when it comes down to the nitty gritty like coding i get lost in lala land. (im not that smart)

AI/automation in general has been vastly oversold to the public, mostly because neoliberals want to use it as an excuse to avoid bringing the jobs they sent overseas back to the west.

Literacy used to be a legitimate skill that could mean the difference between working as a clerk at a law firm or dying in a coal mine at the ripe old age of 17. Then public education came along and changed that. Now everyone can read and write (mostly.) The same thing will happen with programming.

I feel like it's sensationalized, but I worry that that's just wishful thinking. I don't really want to live in automated world. I want people to have jobs.

Automation and "joblessness" are only a bad things under Capitalism. If automation actually does manage to force people out of the workplace communism will become even more inevitable than it already is.

Is it 2006?

Honestly though I don't see the point in resisting communism when everything is automated. I mean the choice between revolution and the status quo becomes literally a question of life and death at that point. Who wouldn't support communism in that situation?

but muh anti-communism brainwashing though

see you tomorrow.

Learn HTML and CSS, it's like coding but your making things that are functional and can look good

AI died with Tay.
