Watch Out for Robotics and AI
When my kids were younger, I urged them to aim for careers that would require them to use their minds, rather than their hands. If something can be done by a robot,” I explained, “It ultimately will be done by a robot.”
At the time, I was thinking about a machine that does what we see here, i.e., making French fries.
As time passed since those days, however, it’s became obvious that functions that formerly required the sharpest of minds are not immune from threat of mechanization at all. Dentists are still drilling teeth, urologists are still performing prostatectomies, and radiologists are still reading X-rays, but could that even possibly be the case in 50 years?
Not only will robotics be replacing professionals who are bringing home $300K per year, but the machines will actually do a better job.
It could be argued that a “human touch” will always be superior to computer-driven systems. Certainly parenting, and perhaps sales, teaching, financial advice, and justice. Let’s hope so.
This is a funny reminder that Fox News will soon find itself in a very difficult position re: its support of Trump.
Last week, I would have happily bet that there would never be a post here that glorified rap music. Turns out, I would have lost.
I guess the only response to what insurrectionist Paul Davis says here is “good.”
Here’s an interesting development, though it’s unlikely it will mean much, given that the criminal cases against Trump and company are continuing to roll out.
Perhaps the most important take-away from the Reagan presidency is that political rhetoric that creates a strong bond of connection with conservative voters buys a Republican president a pass against many, if not all, of his missteps in office. If he’s able to convince people who care very little about anyone or anything outside of their immediate families that he’s going to do right by them, it really doesn’t matter what he actually does while in the White House.
Have these people at 
American investigative journalist and author David Cay Johnson, pictured here, is a specialist in economics and tax issues, and winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Beat Reporting. He’s has been covering Donald Trump since long before the former president arrived on the political scene, and has spent most of his recent years documenting Trump’s vast array of lies and crimes, especially as they pertain to financial matters.
Actually, you can ask any questions and consult any resources you like.
One of the My Pillow Guy’s banks closed his account the other day, citing “reputational risks.” This, of course, is a simple continuation of the trend towards marginalizing Trump from our society.
