In the future, there will possibly be a profession called **listener**. In return for payment, the listener will listen to another listener by listening to what he or she says. We will go to the listener because, apart from the listener, there will be hardly anyone else left to listen to us. Today, we are increasingly losing the ability to listen.

So, ah, it's hard to be convinced that automation makes you lazy because otherwise instead of building amazing things we'd still be spending all day washing our clothes, cooking dinner and walking into town to do anything.

I care so much about the future, both mine and people's generally... and sure, sometimes I think it might just be better for humanity to disappear because we're so bad at looking after our planet, but mostly I want the people I know to have happy lives and/or survive. 

AI art will never invent anything new... it just mashes whatever is in its LLM together... humans are great at creating and inventing new things, and I think a lot of people are generally really excited to create new things. 

I just can't imagine people will love AI Generated art all that much. Some of it is cool, but people want connection.  Can you imagine watching an AI generated TV show?  Like, who could be bothered?  Knowing that it was created without any effort gives it zero value.

I definitely think cancel culture is a thing... but I'm not sure I'd call it woke culture.  As far as I can tell, the people who want to halt progress, maintain the status quo and keep everything locked in as its always been call everything they don't like woke... and try to cancel it... but as far as I can tell just seem like they are whining... ie, Ben Shapiro crying about Barbie (although probably making hundreds of thousands of dollars from his videos as everyone else terrified of progress absolutely smashes that Like button so hard).

I think remote work is incredible.  Everyone is so much more productive without the ridiculous distractions of office life.  Sure boomers want everyone back in the office so they can walk around getting as much attention as possible, but I think its very clear that those companies that have embraced remote work are getting so efficient.  I do think its harder for graduates and less-experienced people to learn remotely, that definitely sucks, but for everyone else who knows their job and loves being productive, it's the best thing ever.  I have no problem not meeting people in the office, it means I can actually meet people who share any interest in the things I'm interested in.

Ooof, is my response longer than your post... yikes.  Sorry.

I actually met my wife at our work so I can't imagine where I would be if we had been remote back then. It would have been quite difficult!

If AI takes control of a lot of jobs. There are going to be rise in the jobs of people who are consultant, and a form of a listener. Like you have problem with love, money, marriage, everything that would demand a listener. This would make things worst if you think from the satisfaction point of view.

>  They will invest into ownership, being the assets that will appreciate in value

Excited to finally get the rest of my coins back into ownership. I have my taxes pending all kinds of bankruptcy nonsense in the US. Magic has treated me so well the 30 years of ownership, now looking to the future on Hive!

One of my favorite liquidity pools in crypto is the Voucher:Hive LP that pays out ~50% in SPS, which is great because I'm earning in a separate asset from the pair. It also gets me to swap into more Hive or the pair due to my lack of writing -- I used to be able to convert enough HBD to cover the vouchers but not so much when no brawl reports.

I feel like my LeoThreads are going into the void as well. SoG needs to step its game up! YEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!!  

Interesting, and I think true, look on life. The part about children not going out to play is something that I harp on constantly.  Without avail though because they are not my children. People, mostly women, trying to look like the models they see is something else I don't get. Most models are way too skinny.  I always point people towards Sophia Loren, Raquel Welch and Marilyn Monroe as examples of women who were beautiful but not sticks. I'm not a person that goes with the masses, just because it's the majority. With this way to convenient world of no information or misinformation, people tend to just follow along to fit in. I was never a believer in that.
Good story. I think I'll write a post of my own version of our current messed up world.

These are most interesting concerns. But, there it is. There is always concerned people. Wise people who wonder about the consecuences of our so much desired fiddeling of things. On that matter is worth to remember the words from Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park.

"Life finds a way"

We all have seen the movies when life does not find a way. But humans are way too selfish to die. There's always a limit towards they can lean on.

As long as I can compete. Today I won 500 HIVE against bots on one asset. I worked from home. I'll wait until the AI ​​is able to win on the stock exchange :)

Nowadays many kids are raising without even touching soil, a robotic lifestyle rather than natural one.
