Maybe I Shouldn't Give a Good D*mn

 "It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then."

-Lewis Carroll

Using all this time from those Victorian England History classes I wound up in as a graduate and undergraduate student in university....And using a quote Alice made in " Alice in Wonderland."

I went down the AI rabbit hole this morning....

And I scared the absolute shit out of myself. 

And the thing is, I have two kids, son, daughter in law right in the middle of AI and neither see the ramifications from it( Reid has a master's in it from UT-Austin , April, AKA YU Zhou has a serious master's from Carnegie-Mellon, both in AI.).  ethically, socially, economically.....Hell, what is it going to do to our ideas on faith?  ( Read a doctrinal piece earlier this week that was talking about the massive changes in all churches in the next 5-10 years, and it ain't good.)

What is this going to be like in 5-10 years? 

Heck, what will the world be like by the end of 2026?

How many people are going to be displaced by AI, either forced to move, or just cannot find a job? 

And don't say go into the "trades?" How long before they become saturated?  Too many plumbers? Price goes down, can you make a living when you have to compete with 135 other plumbing companies? 

Already I can see a collapse of the school system in not only Texas, but America. Too many standardized exams, too much I do not give a good damn by a lot of people within the schools, both working for the school, or attending. 

The damn government is behind on this, and don't say the Republicans or the Democrats will save us.  Both are either in the pockets of corporations with an agenda of AI, and in truth, only care about us and our vote come November of an even number year. If the congress or whatever government agency knows what is coming, they are not talking about it. And are probably afraid to do so. 

Will we be able to trust anything we now see? AI will be able to generate almost anything. 

Saw that the largest growing brothel in Germany, well, it's AI robots. ( I know, it's the damn Germans, and I am exposed as many of you know to the culture, and well, it is a bit different.) 

Was reading a report that the number of people laid off by AI is over 1,000,000 and is growing like mad. 

Heck, this morning, a journalist was  asking different AIs when the war with Iran will begin? All said within 2 weeks. 

The old Govteach is sort of glad the end is closer for me, and in 10 years, I'll be 78, which seems ancient I know, but with how much I took off the front end, it'll be a miracle I make it there, and to be honest, it might not be a bad thing....
