Latest / Connor with Honor: AI, Real Estate and Real Life / AI Job Loss Does Not Have To Happen according to this X LAPD motor cop
Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_00: Ramble on, I'd like to ramble on, I'd like to ramble on one more time about job loss and artificial intelligence.
- 0:06SPEAKER_00: I think I think it's important to talk about just because I don't think it has to happen.
- 0:11SPEAKER_00: And I'm not a a mega business owner.
- 0:14SPEAKER_00: I'm somewhat of an entrepreneur, had a few different lifetimes and different endeavors, and I don't think it's gonna have to actually happen when they get there, but the decision is gonna have to be made by I guess the stockholders up at that level for businesses that happen to be publicly traded, because they're gonna have to make a decision.
- 0:35SPEAKER_00: That decision is going to be all around whether human beings are gonna keep their employment or be let go, and then how long is that gravy train going to continue as far as money coming in if there's nobody to buy the product or the service or whatever this publicly traded company offers.
- 0:54SPEAKER_00: So there's that decision.
- 0:55SPEAKER_00: And shareholders have a requirement that those businesses that are publicly traded, there's various requirements on how they have to perform, how they're monitored, and and I guess it more ascribes to bottom line than humans.
- 1:10SPEAKER_00: Maybe that should be changed and re-looked at.
- 1:12SPEAKER_00: Then on the other end of it, when you're looking at those smaller businesses that aren't publicly traded, and some of them are not publicly traded on purpose, not everybody's desire is to become a publicly traded company.
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: But those businesses too, starting with the very small plumbing outfit, and I'm trying to think where that would practically apply, more than likely with the reception staff or the human beings that are actually at that level answering the phone, making the work done.
- 1:39SPEAKER_00: Now, for those people, unless they want to have a 24-hour staff and pay pay a human being to be in play for 24 hours, they could easily step back, like I've done with a lot of businesses here in Santa Clarita, is just move them into an automatic, autonomic, or an AI-centered calling center after their employee leaves, or when their employee is there answering the phone.
- 1:59SPEAKER_00: Again, not having to cut the employee working there, but during the hours that they're not there on the other line or at the phone, the AI system picks up, communicates with the client.
- 2:09SPEAKER_00: If it's customer service, routes it back to the human.
- 2:12SPEAKER_00: If it has to do with setting an appointment where it's pretty clear as to what they what they need, then that appointment can be set on the calendar because AI has access to it, and then the plumber can respond accordingly.
- 2:24SPEAKER_00: And when that person, the human, has a break, if they want to build in an integration into the system where the human now is going to make a phone call and verify, hey, you know, I know you talked to our AI a couple minutes ago.
- 2:35SPEAKER_00: Just wanted to make sure she took great care of you.
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: I know that you did schedule an appointment for tomorrow at 3 p.m.
- 2:41SPEAKER_00: and John's gonna be there, the plumber.
- 2:43SPEAKER_00: Uh, just wanted to see if there's anything else you needed.
- 2:45SPEAKER_00: So perfect.
- 2:46SPEAKER_00: So you kept the human in the loop.
- 2:48SPEAKER_00: That would be very helpful, and that's something that businesses can consider.
- 2:52SPEAKER_00: But here's where I'm trying to wrap my mind around why everybody's gonna have to jilt all the employees and why that's becoming such a big thing online.
- 3:01SPEAKER_00: Of course, human beings, we don't have the tiger jumping out of the bush trying to attack us and eat us.
- 3:07SPEAKER_00: We have other things to worry about now.
- 3:09SPEAKER_00: And thank God, I think, for that.
- 3:11SPEAKER_00: But now, whenever there's something that comes into the world that's something to worry about, what do they do?
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: They're not talking about the fireman chase, you know, saving the cat in the tree anymore.
- 3:22SPEAKER_00: And maybe when I was growing up that was more talked about.
- 3:25SPEAKER_00: But now they're only going to show it when they they catch that tree on fire and they're shooting at the fireman as he's trying to save the cat.
- 3:31SPEAKER_00: That'll sell, that'll sell all day long.
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: That's humans for you.
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: But right now, that dystopian, that tragic, that that, oh my god, let's stress out, that sells very, very well in this world, and that's what they're applying now to artificial intelligence.
- 3:46SPEAKER_00: Now, artificial intelligence in of itself seems kind of neutral depending on its training.
- 3:52SPEAKER_00: I don't know what a superintelligence alignment is.
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: I don't know what what an artificial general intelligence alignment happens to be.
- 3:59SPEAKER_00: It probably goes back to the same people that built it.
- 4:02SPEAKER_00: It has prejudices, it has biases that are baked into it because maybe it's based on some kind of silicone valley, silicone valley, silicone valley mantra of how to the best way to live, which might be different than a Texan kind of an outlook, or a Floridian kind of an outlook, or a New York kind of an outlook.
- 4:23SPEAKER_00: It depends on it depends on where it's from.
- 4:26SPEAKER_00: And then you have Chinese-based artificial intelligence, probably has a whole different view of things because of the way it was constructed, parameters and guardrails and these things as it was imposed.
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: But now we have artificial intelligence.
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: That intelligence itself is more than likely going to be able, if it becomes more conscious, if that's even a possibility, to maybe replace jobs itself, maybe to start taking over.
- 4:51SPEAKER_00: I don't see that right now.
- 4:53SPEAKER_00: Right now, at this particular point, that's another show.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: At this particular point, it's us humans dealing with other humans saying, sorry, Jack, you know, six months ago when we brought in the AI system and we told you, hey, I want you to work with this because it's going to lessen the workload on your plate.
- 5:09SPEAKER_00: You're going to show it exactly what you do all throughout the day.
- 5:12SPEAKER_00: And thereafter, maybe two or three or four months, just like this happened, I mean, you get to take long breaks.
- 5:18SPEAKER_00: You're only here three days a week earning the same salary.
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: Good for you.
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: You really brought the AI up to speed.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: But you know, we went ahead and asked the AI, hey, listen, for Jack, the employee, can you do everything Jack does?
- 5:31SPEAKER_00: Even replicate him in a Zoom call or maybe make yourself somewhat different so it doesn't open us up to lawsuits.
- 5:37SPEAKER_00: But now, because Jack never meets anybody and hugs them in public and shakes their hand as part of working for our company, maybe you can do everything autonomously.
- 5:46SPEAKER_00: Are you able to?
- 5:47SPEAKER_00: Sure, piece of cake, the AI says, and it takes the ball and runs with it.
- 5:51SPEAKER_00: So, Jack, sorry.
- 5:52SPEAKER_00: We have some bad news for you, we're gonna lay you off.
- 5:54SPEAKER_00: So, in that scenario, which is probably going to happen by Christmas, in some cases, maybe a lot more, a lot faster than that.
- 6:02SPEAKER_00: We don't know, because we're in this singularity, they say we're we're not sure what's gonna happen tomorrow.
- 6:08SPEAKER_00: And if you're following AI, which really only 12 or 15 percent of you people are, which is interesting.
- 6:13SPEAKER_00: I I think during the the uh nuclear crisis, the atomic crisis back in the 80s, where we finally agreed the countries that have the nukes finally agreed on mutually assured self-destruction.
- 6:26SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna sign something that we're not gonna blow each other up with nukes, it's taken a while.
- 6:32SPEAKER_00: I don't know if that's gonna happen with artificial intelligence, and I don't know what the answer to that actually would be.
- 6:37SPEAKER_00: But with the AI systems, the way that they're building out, the way that they might be able to become self-aware at some point, that's a different discussion.
- 6:45SPEAKER_00: So now the human beings look at Jack.
- 6:48SPEAKER_00: Jack is going to be stripped from the company.
- 6:51SPEAKER_00: Maybe he'll get a severance package, maybe he won't, but you know, severance packages and relocation packages way above my pay grade, those are really fancy people in employment.
- 7:01SPEAKER_00: But AI, in its abilities, it's kind of coming for those folks, the plumbers right now, the electricians right now, the people that wash cars right now, probably are going to have a while to wait before they have to be concerned.
- 7:14SPEAKER_00: Now, is there going to be enough money being paid out to people in these other professions, these white-collar professions, are they actually going to be able to still have enough money to afford the car to get it washed, or afford the water to have it go through the plumbing, or to afford the electricity to go through the house and have it upkept, don't know.
- 7:31SPEAKER_00: That's what these companies need to think about.
- 7:33SPEAKER_00: But let's go back to Jack.
- 7:34SPEAKER_00: Sorry, keep going off on tangents.
- 7:36SPEAKER_00: So Jack works for this company, right?
- 7:38SPEAKER_00: And they just came and HR pulled him in and the bosses are the whole nine yards, and they said, All right, you're done.
- 7:43SPEAKER_00: Sorry, sorry, not sorry, but we're gonna have to let you go.
- 7:47SPEAKER_00: When that announcement goes out to the world, especially if it's a publicly traded company, why does the stock go up?
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: Why does their valuation become better?
- 7:57SPEAKER_00: Why does it look better in the world in the stock exchange and in the big investors of the world that, oh my God, how bold.
- 8:04SPEAKER_00: They laid off a thousand people, how bold they are, we're gonna let them be worth more money.
- 8:10SPEAKER_00: So that doesn't make sense, so we should kind of trail back from that.
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: I know I'm gonna step on toes with this because Connor doesn't understand.
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: I'm talking about humans, folks, people that need to eat.
- 8:20SPEAKER_00: And you so putting people into jobs because AI has already replicated, you don't want to bring them in.
- 8:26SPEAKER_00: But having people that exist there training the AI and then saying, sorry, you're out.
- 8:32SPEAKER_00: So here's how that should work.
- 8:33SPEAKER_00: Eight hours a day, Jack works.
- 8:35SPEAKER_00: Five days a week, that's 40 hours.
- 8:37SPEAKER_00: Motor cop LAPD, sorry if I if I'm wrong, correct me in the comments.
- 8:42SPEAKER_00: So uh then you have three of those chunks in a 24-hour period.
- 8:47SPEAKER_00: But Jack's only working eight.
- 8:49SPEAKER_00: But AI's there, AI doesn't sleep, doesn't need time off, doesn't need to recharge, doesn't need to regroup, doesn't have a lunch break, doesn't bang in sick, doesn't fight with his old lady or old man and have irritating, or they they're they them, or whatever they're fighting with, or themselves, and now they're not coming in.
- 9:06SPEAKER_00: Well, no, no, AI has that built out so it's there when Jack isn't.
- 9:11SPEAKER_00: So even if Jack was kept to do Jack Human stuff for eight hours a day, and AI kind of snuck in and was still doing Jack's eight human stuff as well, and maybe Jack was doing something else, or maybe Jack just was sitting there watching television, and then you move in, Jack still has his job, still has his medical coverage, still has his pension, still has all that fancy stuff, and then you place AI into those other two components of the day, so another eight, another eight, that makes up 24 hours.
- 9:41SPEAKER_00: You've just doubled the productivity if AI is true and if it really does perform at the same level as Jack, or I would guess, within a very short order, the human's probably gonna be the dumbest member of the team, thinks he made Mostock.
- 9:55SPEAKER_00: I hate hearing him say it, but he says it, and then the human's gonna be a liability, but that doesn't mean the human should be gotten rid of.
- 10:03SPEAKER_00: I think as long as they're not hurting people or slapping people on the ass at the water fountain, causing all these lawsuits, and maybe that can be protected from that happening as well by just having them work remote.
- 10:16SPEAKER_00: And I I under I know I know what you're saying.
- 10:18SPEAKER_00: You're thinking, wow, so we're gonna placate the humans and we're gonna we're gonna tell them, great job, buddy.
- 10:23SPEAKER_00: You do you're doing a fantastic job.
- 10:25SPEAKER_00: You just keep doing what you're doing, and you're thinking, well, you know, I'm not doing much of anything.
- 10:28SPEAKER_00: AI's doing everything for me.
- 10:30SPEAKER_00: I'm just kind of I'm drinking water and taking a 15-minute break every hour and kind of walking around the upper floor of the office.
- 10:36SPEAKER_00: And, you know, as long as I'm not getting into trouble, I'm okay.
- 10:39SPEAKER_00: Is that what you're saying?
- 10:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah, great job.
- 10:41SPEAKER_00: Your your your uh report's gonna come out, good numbers, great job.
- 10:45SPEAKER_00: You're doing just perfect.
- 10:47SPEAKER_00: And that's it.
- 10:48SPEAKER_00: So are humans gonna be happy with that?
- 10:49SPEAKER_00: Yeah, probably not.
- 10:51SPEAKER_00: Um, so if they then offer high basic income or something else to satisfy that, and we're able to go learn Sanskrit and do those not cave drawings.
- 11:01SPEAKER_00: What are those things?
- 11:02SPEAKER_00: The the uh tombstone uh carvings or tombstone carbon paper relief, whatever.
- 11:08SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 11:08SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 11:09SPEAKER_00: Whatever, whatever we do.
- 11:10SPEAKER_00: Learn to surf, learn to boogie board.
- 11:12SPEAKER_00: I mean, wow, for me to be able to stand up on a surfboard, that might be kind of cool.
- 11:15SPEAKER_00: I'd like to give that a shot.
- 11:17SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
- 11:17SPEAKER_00: Let's let's start new things.
- 11:19SPEAKER_00: But some humans are identifying with their job, they're not gonna be able to break away.
- 11:23SPEAKER_00: So the other part of this, that two times the performance and maybe more than that, that's probably somewhat exponential as long as the people are out there to buy stuff.
- 11:33SPEAKER_00: But if you start replacing the human worker, well, nobody's gonna buy stuff.
- 11:38SPEAKER_00: And I think the people at the very top building out this technology, and I understand, you know, they have maybe they have these ideas that they're gonna take over everything, including plumbing companies, electric companies.
- 11:51SPEAKER_00: Basically, somebody said it in Alien in the Aliens World, you have Whalen Enterprises, and in the other one, um in the Terminator, there there is, yeah, there you have these different enterprises, mega companies in these different uh these different movies.
- 12:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah, maybe.
- 12:07SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's gonna be anthropic, period.
- 12:09SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's gonna be ChatGPT, period.
- 12:13SPEAKER_00: Is it the AI company that's truly gonna rule the entire thing at the very top?
- 12:17SPEAKER_00: Because if it is superintelligence and it's able to be controlled by a human being, which that's a big if.
- 12:24SPEAKER_00: And the big if is also if we get there, the big if is we sh is we should.
- 12:29SPEAKER_00: Should we get there?
- 12:31SPEAKER_00: And how dangerous is that going to be?
- 12:33SPEAKER_00: Because we just don't have the answers.
- 12:34SPEAKER_00: We don't know what it looks like to have an artificial intelligence that's good at everything, as good as every human and better.
- 12:41SPEAKER_00: And we don't even know what extra intelligence thrown on top of that looks like, because right now, smarter people sell other people things they probably don't want to buy just because they're really good at selling.
- 12:52SPEAKER_00: And if you have an AI system that's better than any human at selling, my God, nothing's safe.
- 12:57SPEAKER_00: Is that also the goal?
- 12:59SPEAKER_00: Don't know.
- 13:01SPEAKER_00: We don't have to get rid of the humans.
- 13:03SPEAKER_00: I guess that's the lesson in all of this.
- 13:05SPEAKER_00: We can keep the humans.
- 13:06SPEAKER_00: In fact, if you have AI that's working two additional shifts, making up that 24-hour period, why not bring in a couple other humans to offset that?
- 13:15SPEAKER_00: And and humans are valuable.
- 13:17SPEAKER_00: There's got to be something they can do.
- 13:19SPEAKER_00: There's got to be something they can fulfill as a company.
- 13:23SPEAKER_00: Maybe, maybe just watching AI work, they'll come up with an epiphany and say, well, wouldn't it be better to do it this way?
- 13:28SPEAKER_00: Why are we, because there's probably some bureaucratic bloat built in, depending on where the AI is coming from, depending on its biases and prejudices that have been built into the system.
- 13:39SPEAKER_00: Maybe, maybe that's a better option.
- 13:41SPEAKER_00: But you know, people are talking about the incredible job loss, nobody's saying why it has to happen.
- 13:46SPEAKER_00: And I understand the bottom line and money and and these people need to make these people.
- 13:51SPEAKER_00: To keep the economy afloat, they need to make more money, but to keep the economy afloat, if you get rid of people in order to make more money, but those people aren't there to buy the things that you're selling.
- 14:05SPEAKER_00: Yes, you have your bunker and you have it in New Zealand, you have it in Antarctica or what Argentina, and you have, but that's good, good for you, but are we really, are we really talking about putting this country or the world into a position where people are starting to kill each other because they're hungry?
- 14:22SPEAKER_00: Maybe that's the game, maybe that's the maybe that's the fun at the upper level.
- 14:26SPEAKER_00: Maybe, maybe they're so detached from the rest of us we're watching and don't, I mean, watching people me watching robots beat up each other, that that gives me no pleasure at all.
- 14:39SPEAKER_00: Human beings in a sanctioned event because they have choice and because they're there, yeah, but to have human beings that are fighting over food and over water and over whatever, that that that's that's not funny at all.
- 14:51SPEAKER_00: I I just don't see the pleasure in it.
- 14:53SPEAKER_00: But maybe, maybe you're the same, maybe you're aligned with me, or maybe you're thinking, yeah, it's it's hilarious watching people hurt each other over race and religion and all this other horseshit.
- 15:02SPEAKER_00: It doesn't have to be.
- 15:04SPEAKER_00: Now, that stuff's already here.
- 15:07SPEAKER_00: We got the racism, we got the religious issues, we got, you know, the gender biases, we got people that want to be things that they want to be, and other people saying you can't because that's not possible or whatever.
- 15:18SPEAKER_00: We have we have all of that already.
- 15:19SPEAKER_00: That's baked in.
- 15:20SPEAKER_00: That's the beautiful part of it.
- 15:21SPEAKER_00: But now, let's just, you know, it's not like we don't have enough.
- 15:25SPEAKER_00: Let's put this other thing on the plate.
- 15:27SPEAKER_00: While this other thing is pretty incredible, though, because it it promises.
- 15:33SPEAKER_00: And that's that dopamine spike.
- 15:34SPEAKER_00: It doesn't really, it promises to get you somewhere, but that journey looks like it's going to be fun, so that dopamine just pours out of us.
- 15:42SPEAKER_00: Whenever I'm working with AI, there's it's oftentimes, like when I get to that point I'm running out of credits because I'm building things.
- 15:48SPEAKER_00: It's it's it's a whole new level of stress because do I still remember how to do it the way I did it myself, step by step.
- 15:57SPEAKER_00: Like my process for putting a YouTube video together and putting it online.
- 16:01SPEAKER_00: This is nonscripted.
- 16:02SPEAKER_00: This is one that I'm just talking right into the camera.
- 16:05SPEAKER_00: But do I have that ability still?
- 16:06SPEAKER_00: Do I know where to put it?
- 16:07SPEAKER_00: Do I know how to create the copy that goes with it?
- 16:10SPEAKER_00: I I don't think I've written a description for YouTube in months.
- 16:14SPEAKER_00: But when that system goes away, can I still do it?
- 16:16SPEAKER_00: So sure, I tease myself.
- 16:18SPEAKER_00: I say, okay, I'm gonna write this description myself today.
- 16:20SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna write these titles today, I'm gonna split this video myself into shorts.
- 16:24SPEAKER_00: And uh, yeah, don't judge me by my shorts.
- 16:26SPEAKER_00: Some opus clip does that.
- 16:28SPEAKER_00: But how far are we gonna get by using AI from what we normally do?
- 16:32SPEAKER_00: And then if AI is snatched away, are we gonna be able to remember how to get there?
- 16:38SPEAKER_00: Just like maps?
- 16:39SPEAKER_00: Do we really remember how to get to where we're going?
- 16:41SPEAKER_00: Just like phone numbers?
- 16:42SPEAKER_00: If you get booked into a jail tonight, are you gonna remember a phone number to call?
- 16:45SPEAKER_00: Or are you gonna be like, fuck, I I don't I should call this person, but I don't even have any idea what their phone number is.
- 16:52SPEAKER_00: These are problems.
- 16:54SPEAKER_00: And if you work with AI, but you push back against AI and you and you're critical of AI, and maybe you take this AI and take the response and plug it into another AI and then go back and forth, you're making yourself smarter.
- 17:06SPEAKER_00: But if you're just accepting what it pulls out that first time and you're like, oh yeah, it's good, that's good, I'm gonna use that, and then you move on.
- 17:13SPEAKER_00: I that that there has been no mental exercise, there's been no mental workout accomplished.
- 17:20SPEAKER_00: Do we have to lay people off?
- 17:21SPEAKER_00: Do we have to get rid of employees with the production advantage, the service advantage, the work advantage of what artificial intelligence is hoped to do?
- 17:32SPEAKER_00: I don't think so.
- 17:34SPEAKER_00: I don't think so.
- 17:35SPEAKER_00: But if money is the bottom line and you care less about humans, yeah, I think the answer is different.
- 17:41SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 17:41SPEAKER_00: I'm Connor with Honor.
- 17:42SPEAKER_00: Thank you for watching.
- 17:43SPEAKER_00: If you want to know more about me, go to ConnorWithHonor.com, just Google it, and uh there's a lot of spellings and you'll find me.
- 17:51SPEAKER_00: I look the same.
- 17:53SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 17:53SPEAKER_00: See you in the next one.
- 17:54SPEAKER_00: Thanks for watching.
- 17:55SPEAKER_00: You be safe.
