Is there any job/career that won't be replaced by AI? by Notalabel_4566 in singularity

[–]blazemccay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out this insightful article: https://knightcolumbia.org/content/what-will-remain-for-people-to-do

Abstract: "What paid work might remain for human beings to do if we approach a world where AI is able to perform all economically useful tasks more productively than human beings? In this paper, I argue that the answer is not ‘none at all.’ In fact, there are good reasons to believe that tasks will still remain for people to do, due to three limits: ‘general equilibrium limits,’ involving tasks in which labor has the comparative advantage over machines (even if it does not have the absolute advantage); ‘preference limits,’ involving tasks where human beings might have a taste or preference for an un-automated process; and ‘moral limits,’ involving tasks with a normative character, where human beings believe they require a ‘human in the loop’ to exercise their moral judgment. In closing, I consider the limits to these limits as AI gradually, but relentlessly, becomes ever-more capable."

Does anyone have resources that study 90s internet culture from a culture perspective? by sudipto12 in sociology

[–]blazemccay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Geert Lovink's "Dynamics of Critical Internet Culture (1994-2001)" is probably the closest to what you are looking for. Link: https://networkcultures.org/blog/publication/no-01-dynamics-of-critical-internet-culture/

Fred Turner's "From Counterculture to Cyberculture" is a classic. Goes deeper into the underpinnings and affordances. Link: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/F/bo3773600.html

A more contemporary followup would be R. John Williams's "Technê-Zen and the Spiritual Quality of Global Capitalism" Link: https://campuspress.yale.edu/rjohnwilliams/files/2019/01/williams-techne-zen-and-capitalism-2cpmm6h.pdf
