On today's episode, James, Glenn, Dwayne, Mark, and David welcome Joshua to the table for Technology Thursday. What's the future for young people when AI is coming for entry-level law and medicine…
You know, with Joshua on, this might be a good way, good one to start with this topic.
What the future employment for young people and I see some kind of funny, not funny, but trends that maybe should not be connected together, but they seem to me.
But Dwayne points out that Space Force, there's a lot of applications there over and above the other academies.
I found out this morning that the applications to law school have just tremendously increased.
LSU, which would have been in the upper 150s on the LSAT, now that is their median, is 160.
There's a lot of people applying there thinking that, I'm sure, well, I'm thinking it's AI is driving that.
They're trying to say, well, I can't go into engineering, they're going to replace me.
what what is the future for people like joshua out there the young people you're asking me the future is a futurist what the future is yeah i want the futurist to kind of tell me where you think this is heading you've been saying there's going to be replacing the jobs i know that's coming out but
yeah we we haven't seen the job job apocalypse that you would have expected yet um but i the the agent sophistication is getting it's coming it's coming very quickly They jumped the gun.
They were going to try to start offering, we'll rent you an agent for $20,000 a month at PhD-level capabilities.
And so you're going to have a lot of that, and there's going to be, in the immortal words of Dusty Rhodes, I predict pain.
There's going to be some pain from this job displacement when it happens.
I don't know how long it's going to take to get to that point.
I have to think that we're not too far away from that.
you know, getting agents, they'll do like one thing.
There's like single purpose things now, but they're going to be where they can take tasks and slot them and prioritize them and organize them.
And that's all coming in the next two years is, but do I think, you know, universal basic incomes come in the next two years? No, I don't think there's going to be a one to five year gap.
There's going to be that very painful five year, one to five year gap of things.
So what are young people to do between that time? Well, it's going to be filling in the gaps of things.
There's going to have to have people that watch and monitor to make sure that AI is correct.
We just haven't had a proper, what I call proper testing cycle for some of these things to test that they work and they're safe.
And so the adoption of that happening and then the need for monitoring and oversight is still going to be there.
