    America's AI takeover: New map reveals US cities DOOMED to lose
    the most jobs to tech... is YOUR hometown at risk?

    A new study revealed people should move to tech hubs to avoid.
    an AI takeover

    Cities with more job diversity could be the safest area
    for workers

    . . .

    Providence, Rhode Island, is projected to lose the most jobs,
    possibly as many as 80%

    However places like Orlando FL are in pretty good shape - the
    volume of retirees will require lots of "human services" jobs
    which "AI" won't be good at for quite awhile.

    The article DOES kinda push a false claim - that "AI" means
    more tech/IT jobs. First off, note that most of the pop is
    NOT suited for such jobs. Then note that in order to realize
    "AI" profits (temporary for several reasons) one of the goals
    for "AI" designers will HAVE to be "AI" that manages/fixes/mods
    ITSELF. There will be FEWER tech/IT jobs because of that.

    If "AI" that manages/fixes/mods itself sounds creepy ...
    well ... it IS. Beware. "AI" evolution could proceed
    at fantastic speed. Even LLMs like Chat/Bard might
    become indistinguishable from proper "intelligence"
    in a rather short period. Fake something well enough
    and it's not fake anymore. There are other "AI"
    approaches out there too - perhaps equally or more
    likely to become "conscious".

    Posted a story yesterday of a military test of the top
    five "AI" systems - a simulation of escalating tensions.
    In the end, ALL of them went to Global Thermonuclear War.
    Any surprise they act like us ? They've all been TRAINED
    on human stuff ... a gazillion little details.

    Oh yea ..... why will "AI" profits be temporary ? It's
    because obsolete humans CAN'T BUY STUFF. They'll all
    be on 'welfare', or maybe none, in big ghettos.

    Line up for yer Soylent Green before it's all gone .....

    Like REALLY.
