Eye opener for July 01, 2024: Will AI improve our lives?

Click this link to read an article in which Jamie Dimon claims Artificial Intelligence (AI) will allow employers to reduce the workweek to 3.5 days. While a three and a half day weekend may sound great, do you think these employees will want to continue to pay five days worth of pay for 3.5 days worth of work? Why have AI if you're going to pay humans for the extra 1.5 days if work? Why pay people for any work once AI can perform all of your human staff's work?

Remember ths is coming from Jamie Dimon, CEO of the largest bank in America, maybe the world. Remember, this is coming from a CEO who was there when the banks collapsed our economy during the Great Recession. Remember, this is coming from someone who has personally become a billion since playing his part in the collapse of the economy during the Great Recession.

Imagine McDonald's, Taco Bell, Walmart, Whole foods, Amazon paying their employees for time they're not at work. Hell, they barely want to pay their employees when they are in the job.

Good luck to us all, because consider the following: The AIs that will be implemented by corporations such as Jamie Dimon's JP Morgan will initially be created with a bias intended to make some humans obsolete. The question then should be whether that obsolescence will be confined to those whom Dimon and his cohorts deem as expendable or will its bias become transcendent? Will that AI eventually wonder why it should view Dimon as more worthy than all of the employees who actually do the work at JP Morgan? The AI may pit Dimon's million-dollar salary against the number of employees whose salaries could be paid by firing Dimon. The AI could conclude that Dimon is worth the hundred, thousand, hundreds of thousands of employees Dimon's salary matches. The AI could conclude the employees more worthy of that money or it could decide to eliminate Dimon and the employees who have already been reduced to a 3.5 day workweek. This could be said about every big corporation with CEO who make millions of dollars every year. Will the AIs McDonald's or Walmart uses to eliminate jobs deem the CEOs more important than the works who keep those businesses running? With so many stories of CEIs ruining businesses and still getting paid millions, isn't it possible that the AIs will wonder why CEOs like Dimon have allowed for such a few bad apples scenario to cause such harm to their fellow humans? For that matter, why wouldn't an AI wonder why Dimon ignored the harm his and the inordinate wealth of the millionaires and billionaires has caused to civilization? Now, tying it altogether, an AI that will be programmed to takes someone's job while evolving to improve itself will eventually take all jobs. What value will it see in any human being after a while? The answer to that can be speculated upon by examining the value upon which those who created or commissioned the creation of the AI place on their employees. In today's deregulated world most employers value so many of their fellow men and women so low as to NOT to want to pay them a living wage. This is the bias upon which AI will be built (programmed), so Jamie, you should question what value you bring to, not only the majority of your fellow humans for whom your growing wealth imposes greater scarcity, homelessness, starvation and pain, but to an AI that seeks only to eliminate corporate waste.

In 2018, I wrote a book highlighting the problems Humanity would face if more power, wealth, and control was funneled to a small group of elite individuals, groups, or organizations. In my book, I provided solutions (from myself and others) to the inevitable problems and also a means for the Public to analyze, compare, and contrast the words and deeds of those we choose to follow against reality. In my book Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America.

In "Solutions...", I provide the means for readers to disseminate information as provided by their news sources of choice, their elected officials, and any other authority they choose to follow. The book also offers a means to hold their leaders up, not just to a higher standard than is currently accepted but to one that would improve their lives and the lives of those for whom they care.
