I guess you haven't been paying attention. AI is about to kill off a crapload of professional jobs. They are predicting the end of entry level positions, including articling as a lawyer. Watch as doctors are replaced with diagnostic machines. A good portion of engineering could also be toast. A crap ton of mid level management positions are on the chopping block.

Want your kids to be successful? Trades. The world will still need repair people and builders, who can walk into houses and businesses, get down on their knees or back and fix that leak, install that new dishwasher, run that wiring, drywall, paint, baseboard trim.

The rich are already discussing population lowering.
That is wildly exaggerated.

Layoffs are already happening in the tech companies. Lawyers are already using AI. Hell students are constantly using it now. A lot of office jobs are going to be replaced. I would say 20% minimum within the next 5-10 years.

Amazon has a fully automated facility in Shreveport now. There are "dark" factories in China. More customer service lines are now AI assist.

Oh its coming. The CEOs love it.

Or AI is going to crash and burn since it still can't turn a profit or reliably do any job.
It will always be like this, as well.

Abortions and day after pills are not the same category biologically, legally or medically. What are you talking about?
Anyone against abortion lumps them together. The states banning it include it and ban the sale of the pills and telehealth lines prescription.

Dude, abortion literally means stopping a pregnancy, when and how doesn't matter.

I lead a few AI projects.
95% of pilots don't make it to production or fail to deliver measurable financial impact.
AI needs to be constantly tweaked and that creates technical debt too.
So your doom and gloom scenario is a few decades away.
Don't buy into the media hype about it too much.

Well, they'd be wrong.
Abortion means aborting a pregnancy after it has occurred.
Not stopping a pregnancy. Stopping a pregnancy is contraception.
In any case the fight for abortion is not for plan B pills but for the right to abort an ongoing pregnancy.

I was able to use 1 scientist to validate a project recently. In the past, the same project would have required a team of 12 scientists for about 20 hours each. It was basically to go through 1000 scientific abstracts and reclassify them into a new category structure.

AI did everything. I only needed 1 scientific dude to test the results and validate.

Yes, AI will significantly reduce the workforce.

Depends on what you are using it for and what value you are trying to get out of it.
It may be able to categorize abstracts easily but things like using it to help for example, call center agents, it is going to struggle.
As I said, significant workforce impacts will occur in the long term, but in the short term I don't see it happening.

Dude. Plan B is specifically for aborting a fertilized egg. It's not the Pill.

Holy cripes that's basically shit.

I've watched AI video and how it has progressed in one year. Do I think its actual intelligence? No. It isn't close. But its one hell of a lot closer to the Star Trek computer model than we had 2 years ago. Right now we are at Google + mode. With some added intuitive structure.

But this shit is exponential. Once they figure out how to monetize properly, probably by subscription for an advanced model, with a basic available for public use with advertising, it will be packaged and sold with specific jobs in mind. Legal, payroll, customer service, pizza ordering, whatever.

It will be used to program picking bots in shipping receiving, connected to ordering, payments, hell even 3D on the spot printing.

It's going to come hard and fast. Look what the IPhone did in 2006, Blackberry when it hit. It will change shit in ways the CEOs haven't figured out yet.

You are confusing Plan B with RU486.


Morning-after pills work mainly by delaying or preventing the release of an egg from the ovaries, called ovulation. They do not end a pregnancy that has already started.

It's an in-between thing. It prevents a fertilized egg from attaching. But its splitting hairs. The only reason to take it AFTER is because the other contraceptives didnt work, or weren't used.

And RU486 can also come from Telehealth.

Butler we live in the world that is our time.
Your lamenting AI always seems to come up when discussing the U.S. with mixed-up thoughts that look backwards. Canada will be impacted as well. Western economies are always adapting and transitioning. Many jobs that existed fifty years ago don't exist or are materially different in nature.

Now you should also be seeing that the U.S. (and Canada) doesn't need an army of unskilled workers coming into the country every year.

Instead of telling us that the sky is falling, try discussing how our economies will adapt and succeed.

I'm sorry but you two are spreading outdated propaganda. Jalimon in your special case I know you lack the intellectual curiosity to investigate media propagation. mandrill you should know better but you have a hard on for the U.S.

U.S. abortions are higher than they were when the Supreme Court gave the States authority over abortion in 2022. Telemedicine has made the whole issue completely moot. More and more U.S. abortions are being administered remotely with mail order prescriptions. Not to mention, many women just go to a neighboring less restrictive state if they so choose.

Honestly, I don't know what to do with people on social media who consistently overdramatize or deliberately mislead.
Because it should not require women to do it on their own. And or travel to a different state. Imagine your daughter is raped and you need to travel to a different state to fix the problem.

Additionally, because we do not think women are pigs.

Yes US abortions are probably higher due to a higher population.
But women would want to go to a clinic, see a proper doctor and get an abortion the safe and sane way and not through "TeLeMeDiCiNe".
Higher population in two years?
It's fine to have disagreements, but not every point needs to be challenged particularly with absurd counters.

The numbers show that telemedicine led to an overall increase in total abortions as clinic abortions only dipped slightly since 2022. This is how women are actually choosing to have abortions. Sure, there's probably some women in restrictive states that didn't want to access telemedicine and instead went to a neighboring state.

All the scare tactics and we find that it's not hard to have an abortion in the United States.

U.S. politicians don't really talk about abortion much because the drama is over and uneventful. President Clinton would say, that dog don't hunt no more.

Jali,
The drama is over.
It wasn't as scary and impactful as you were told to believe.

Now you are just arguing that women can't just go down the street for an abortion.
