Headgear, and those cartoonishly huge, 22 ounce gloves.

If my gloves smell like ether, pay no mind to it. That's just the smell of new leather. (I think that was in an episode of MASH. They doused Trapper's gloves in medical ether)
I just bought new foot pads, sparring gloves and headgear for sparring as I will be testing on the 30th of this month for my 7th dan. I also got a chest and rib protecting vest as I will be sparring against some rather large students and another man who will also be testing for his 7th dan. You can borrow them when we team up against @SenseMaker_Cats and @Lost In FL.

P.S. I have a few bats too.

I mean you very well might be right, but just me thinking about it for 5 seconds I don’t see AI replacing health care jobs, most trades, sales, managerial positions, food services etc. I did a quick google search and saw that makes up 55% of the workforce. In my specific company of 30 people I can think of maybe 2 that could potentially be replaced by AI and those are low level employees with minimal training. I mean I guess 20% of the workforce can be replaced? I mean saying humans won’t have jobs in 10 years is such an over the top doomsday preposterous thing to say it’s like you were saying it for dramatic effect? I mean when you actually start deep dive thinking about it there is no way that’s anywhere close to true.

High end medicine is the first to go. Medicine is black and white and AI far surpasses humans in anything black and white. Many are probably unaware radiologist are already using AI because its much better. Not long till theyre just bylassed.

Yes manual nursing and a$$ wiping will be the last, but thats all lower paying.

With respect, in going to guess you are not in corporate America. I can 100% assure you corporate America intends to replace every business analyst, data entry, middle manager, etc with AI. All entry level programming is already a casualty.

It doesn't have to be 10 years. If you knock out most non surgical specialists, accountants, programmers, business analysts, and data entry in the next 3-5 years - its already a massive crisis.

Unless trump gets Congress to act, this will be an insanely world changing problem.

All Lost and I need are our rugged good looks and rage fueled by the lefties. Well that and the ability to chicken out if this were to ever actually happen.

See? This, right here, is why people that served in the ACTUAL military are NOT on my list of potential opponents.

Let me make it even more immediate than this. Estimate how many college students are studying programming or some sort of technology/software. 25-35% to be conservative?

None of those people are getting jobs. Not even in today's market. Offshoring and AI are taking all those jobs.

What happens when 25-35% of the college graduates exit college without employment options?

That doesn't even count currently unemployed programmers who are starting to fight over qa jobs.

This is an avalanche if disaster that needs stopped now before it gets too far gone.

A political thread Fight NIght/Battle Royale would be a LOT more appealing if the left agreed to show up.

I'd start a Winstrol cycle if we could make that happen.

This should, in no way be construed as a threat. I'm merely talking about a theoretical, and all in good fun Meet and Greet)

If corporate America is allowed to decide, then yes there will minimal jobs for humans because robots don't need money, lights, breaks, managing, or time off. The only way robots don't take over the job market is if governments make laws to protect human workers.

I read an article about car industry execs touring China's auto factories. China leads the world in robotic use in industry and it isn't even close. They have automated their entire auto industry such that the factories run 24/7 with minimal lighting and staffing. They put the materials in one end of the factory, robots build the car on the line, and a finished product comes out the other end. It will give them a massive edge in pricing and production speed.

There are currently very few things in an industrial setting that a robot cannot do. As robotic and bionics advance those gap will continue to narrow. They will fill prescriptions. They will drive. They will cook, they will clean, they will stock. They will lift, carry, and shovel **** if programmed to do so. AI will put accountants out of business, handle stocks, finances, and it will also put a dent in the number of NPs needed as they build health kiosks. The amount of things they can do is almost unlimited.

The only hurdles to this are energy use and time. This is coming. Nothing short of collapse can stop it. There is no need to fear it.

The future is now.

They're absolutely dying for a Kent State moment. They'll get one soon, I bet.
I believe the left really does hope something like that happens. I hope not, but they don't care because it will not be anyone they know. It will be some paid lunatic who will go beyond just yelling and gets physical that starts it. However, I will not have any sympathy for those involved as long as the ones hurt are the ones doing the physical attack. Unfortunately, in some cases innocent people pay the price as well.

Bottom line? Don't be a moron and go out there. If you do, and it happens, pay the price.

Nothing worse than starting a new book and immediately finding out the author is a Christian/conservative/Republican/Trump/America/Southern.... hating radical. I'm slipping I guess. Need to vet these idiots before I buy their product. Michael Connelly and Wally Lamb for example.
