I usually post excerpts from interesting stories. This time you get one:
AI is coming for manufacturing jobs, and America isn’t ready
This entire story needs to be read: https://www.inc.com/abigail-bassett/rivian-ceo-rj-scaringe-warns-that-the-u-s-isnt-prepared-for-ais-impact-on-this-1-type-of-job/91361126
READ to the bottom!
My 2 cents on AI – (for what it’s worth)
AI will generate more jobs than it takes.

China and America are in a life-or-death battle for AI dominance so I would be cautious about what I read in many articles on social media. (Although this article is trustworthy as it is an interview) China knows how to lead gullible Americans (progressives) around by the nose. They are filling media with stories about the ‘destructiveness’ of AI and data centers. Their intentions are clear.
Trump is fully on board with AI – therefore socialists (democrats) are fully against it no matter what the consequences are. If Trump said he was against AI they would be for it.
Later in the article – “Scaringe pushed back on the conventional framing of automation as a harbinger of human job losses.” He says education is the key to the future use of AI.
And on American education – heaven help us!
If America doesn’t win the AI battle, we will be working for China in the future.
Thanks for passing this along Diane. As the article points out, our world is rapidly changing and our education system and labor force must adapt quickly or be left behind.
As Fromhere points out, the alternative is working for and living under Chinese control.
It’s a good thing that most of us think RJ is a snake oil salesman who’s products will never be successful. We can’t believe or trust anything that he says.
Refering to Forbes as an accurate source. Now that’s rich. History shows that machines reduce human labor needs. Period.
@3 cents – Join the Luddite uprising! Ban all machines! 🙂
Machines change human labor, they don’t reduce it. That’s the real history.
Meanwhile, Unit 5 wants to raise taxes to teach etiquette in school. Hmmm, isn’t that the parents’ job?
