@katanasharp2866 That's what I was saying to my buddy this December. In New York City in the 2000s, the musicians' unions had got Broadway shows to guarantee a minimum number of jobs for them per show. Shows began to move to recorded music, since it was easier to have a more consistent performance that way. The musicians they were contractually obligated to employ for that performance which was recorded stayed home and got paid. Another example is job bank for unionized auto workers. We're definitely going to see more of a move toward artificial regulatory entrance barriers for a greater variety of trades.

@mnxs That's centaur chess theory. They found that a human chess grandmaster "riding" a top-of-the-line chess computer consistently beat both human chess grandmasters on their own and top-of-the-line chess computers on their own. For portfolio management and hedge funds, where the bond market especially is so complicated the industry had all ready hunted down every last mathematician with a Ph D who didn't get tenure and was starting to hunt down physicists in the 2010s, there's zero danger of a guy like that getting replaced by an AI for a long time, despite the concurrent explosion of machine learning. It actually has a second order effect where people who stay in the core discipline, similar to statisticians, have higher job security because the colleges who employ them know they can go to work at a hedge fund any time they want to trade their quality of life for exponentially more money - tangentially I think this was not exactly good for epidemiology, since it turns continuing to be a scientist of anything but money into a lifestyle option, which affects how they react as a group when placed under pressure.

So what? Nobody was investigating Obama over those two kids he ordered assassinated one way or the other.

@johnmoser3594 Interesting. I know the Danes in their employment law and union culture - they have a very high rate of labour organization - put a very high emphasis on working conditions and wages, but don't protect job security longer than the duration of any one contract. I wasn't aware the Swedes and Finns did it somewhat that way. The big issue with addressing income stability through centralized programs is that it comes out of the pockets of other employees, due to wage stickiness from inflation through money printing, or through taxation, which would most likely result in fairly humble people giving three fifths of their paycheque to the government, as do long term residents in much of Europe. Layman and foreigner opinion, America would benefit immensely from a federal subsidy to states implementing a taper to welfare, as well as a taper to Medicaid, to eliminate the welfare cliff, but it would take a triumvirate of human bulldozers leading the House, Senate, and Executive to wage the legislative jihad it would require to clear up the real fiscal space to avoid the two outcomes which would negate the desired effect. Look at how hard and bold the entrenched corporate interests are willing to fight to preserve the Affordable Care Act, for instance. They've gone right for the most toxic social externalities caused by the least honest and most parasitic elements of the pharmaceutical and psychological industrial complexes, and attempted to depict support for these outcomes as a marker of compassion. They know it's bad for people. They also know it makes them a mountain of cash.

@mnxs The data from chess playing is that human grandmasters are better at strategy, but computers play loops around them in tactics.

hold on a second. Didn't Disney Land come before Disney World? What I can never keep straight is if Disney the guy personally drove the discovery of the technique of removing the sands they have where their species of mosquito likes to lay its eggs, or if he acted on knowledge of its existence.

AI is the future, but this specific thing is less the Panama Canal than the Scottish Plantation of Panama.
