Phys.org:

Repetitive skills like pattern recognition, information retrieval, optimization and planning are most vulnerable to automation. On the other hand, social and cognitive skills such as creativity, problem-solving, drawing conclusions about emotional states and social interactions are least vulnerable.

The most resilient competencies (those least likely to be displaced by AI) included critical thinking, teamwork, interpersonal skills, leadership and entrepreneurship.

Yuval Harari, a historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, described the rise of AI as a "cascade of ever-bigger disruptions" in higher education rather than a single event that settles into a new equilibrium. The unknown paths taken by AI will make it increasingly difficult to know what to teach students.

Perhaps we can all be employed as therapists, counseling each other about our feelings of irrelevance?

    I couldn't really say if socialism works or not, and I don't know what ASI is, but I can see from your comment that the 100 + years effort by the ruling class in the United States to demonize anything that they don't like as "socialism" or even worse, "communism" is working really well.

    Meanwhile I will go about my day secure in the knowledge that I don't need to live in a "right to work" (LOL) state, or declare bankruptcy if I get sick.

    Ask the people of North Korea or Poland how well socialism works.

      North Korea is a dictatorship. Nothing to do with Socialism. Poland is what it is for reasons that have nothing to do with socialism.

      Or Canada or the Netherlands or Costa Rica, maybe would be closer?

        If by "fails" you mean badly needed socialist reforms fail to make it through Congress, then you are correct. But that's not a failure of socialism. That's a failure of the American people to see through the propaganda that's being fed to them by corporate media. I have some friends in other countries who love their health care system and always ask me "Why do Americans vote against their own health care?". Long answer involves corporate media, entrenched capitalists entrance, and corruption. Short answer: Americans are dumb.

      Why? Neither of them have lived under socialism.

      Some people call North Korea a dictatorship, but when the leadership is passed from father to son, it's a monarchy.

        Maybe. One generation isn't really enough to call it a monarchy. And what we know about North Korea is so shadowy that he might be a false-front puppet of an oligarchy. For it to be a monarchy the troops have to be loyal to the monarch rather than to the government. (So Britain isn't really a monarchy anymore either.)

          I count two generational transitions:
          Kim Il-Sun
          Kim Jun-Il
          Kim Jun-Un

          You sure about that? Ex-British military guy I know says the oath they swear is to "Queen and Country", in that order. I strongly suspect that if it came to conflict the Military would back the Queen over Theresa May.
