AI has not evolved to the point where it can’t be outwitted by convicted felons. My job security issues are completely internal. 🙃

AI is going to decimate middle management and sales people. My guess is much of Government 'management' will go (hopefully). Fraud increase? with the abilty to 'cross platform reference' and 'historic search' functions fraud should decrease. You can tell a person anything and they will believe you - A machine is much more likely to keep asking for verification at the first hitch.

The purpose of government is to make sure businesses make lots of money. Human workers are a continuous drain on businesses. Don't expect government resistance to robots.

The government is also in the business of making money. But don't hold your breath that they will allow AI to take any of their jobs.

think of what would happen if the business did not make "lots of money"? Who would match your Social Security contributions or match your Medicare contributions?

Reminds me of the 60's/70's/80's - when the post WW2 tooling wore out and our companies were moving anything they could to other countries for greater profit margins....when we were teaching the Chinese how to build jetliners - sometimes our capitalism is our own worst enemy.

Mind numbing jobs like that need to be automated. Some jobs will NEVER go away, but they will change and you need to keep up.
I'm a machinist and when I did my apprenticeship computers,as we have them today didn't exit, multi axis CNC machines didn't exist, 3D printing didn't exist.I've had to keep up.
I'm literate in CAD/CAM CNC programming, 3D printing etc. Somebody has to build all this stuff and it's going to be machinists, it's always going to be machinists.
Many of to dreary mind numbing jobs are becoming automated,so you have to keep up,there is always something new to learn.
And I thinks it's part of the gov't job to plan and help these transitions.

I've seen experienced bricklayers lay bricks faster and better than that machine.

But just think how many people it takes to make that crappy bricklaying look good. One to mix mortar, one to feed same to machine, one to feed brick to machine, one to follow and straighten the brick, scrape off excess, and tool joints. When a bricklayer does the job, he does the laying and tooling while putting the excess mortar back on the hod. Looks like it will be a long time before I would put that thing on the line. And what happens if it drops a brick, does it leave a space or does it replace it?

I just recently read an article stating that McDonalds will eventually replace their order counters with automated order kiosks.

They’re already on-site here, just punch in your request. Same old fast food though.
Edit: You still have the counter option available though.

Interesting... my last three trips to Walmart have ended with a cart full of items abandoned near the checkout line. In the last month, the two Walmarts closest to me, each have only TWO staffed cashier lanes and upwards of 20 self check-out lanes. I refuse to be part of vending machine so, after five minutes in line (I time it), I leave. Probably won't go back... Home Depot is the same- but only a single cashier... gotta do some agonizing reappraisals...
