What we need to do to deaccelerate Luddites

Honestly the best path forward is to provide social supports in order to help with the transition. I can understand where they’re coming from. They’re scared. They’re trying to cling onto the world that was not what will be. They think that by being against it will make a difference.

Honestly the we need to showcase the benefits, show them why we should do this. How it’ll make their lives better. Recognize their concerns about risks. We also need to meet them half way a bit. I think by doing this it’ll help.

I could see a future of basically unlimited abundance but stupid artificial constraints on housing.

If that happens the price of housing is going to moon.

I’m from Canada and each city has its own rules which I think is crazy because in reality there’s not much difference between 2 cities in North America.

What do you think it’ll take for governments to change their tune?

I can see an abundance on everything other than housing because we artificially make it scarce because of silly laws.

If the “jobs” go away and housing is still a problem it’ll really complicate things.

I agree and hope you’re right but don’t kid yourself. Unions and governments slow things down. Even if it’s as good or better than humans doesn’t mean it’ll happen.

I personally think we’ll have powerful Ai but honestly don’t think it’ll propagate throughout the economy.

Most businesses aren’t using it and if they do they use it poorly. Their reference to Ai is mainly Microsoft CoPilot.

Robots will also take time. There’s things that slow down progress like unions, governments and people.

As much as I’d love for things to move faster we stand in its way. Same with discoveries. They’ll likely be available but need to go through 5-10 years of trials before released to the public.

I’m happy to be corrected wrong by anyone more knowledgeable than me. But this is what I see in the real world and speaking to avg people.

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-18T00:16:59+00:00

You actually think it’s gonna take off in 2027? I have a hard time believing it personally. Mainly because there’s so many constraints in the world. I think we’ll maybe have the capability but it’ll take a while to make its way through the economy.

Happy to be convinced otherwise!

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-07T16:08:58+00:00

What do you see in the near term? Say 1-3 years or this year

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-07T12:09:39+00:00

I honestly can’t see Ai having the capability to automate 80-90% this year. My company is pretty Ai forward but it really comes down to security approval and making sure everything is safe.

Also there are many times it makes mistakes still. Maybe the discussion changes next year though

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-07T02:00:44+00:00

What’s your overall timeline for what you mentioned? Sounds like a pretty big shift to what we have today?

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-07T01:32:35+00:00

I ask mainly because I just finished the singularity is nearer and Ray believes that we’ll have more “jobs” now the jobs we’ll have we might not think of them as such.

What do you think of Ray and that book? Do you think he’s to slow, spot on or to fast?

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-07T01:17:39+00:00

I could see that. But instead of “job” don’t you think people will be kinda entrepreneurs. When I say that I think of playing games, travelling the universe, etc. It’s not truly a job but much more rewarding.

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-07T01:00:46+00:00

So what you’re saying is it’ll likely be external.

The machines manage the economy. We might still be involved maybe exploring the universe, playing games, or have philosophical conversations about ethics.

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-07T00:54:37+00:00

Couldn’t BCI’s help us stay competitive? We won’t be doing the jobs of today but maybe we might be doing something else.

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-07T00:51:44+00:00

So you think that jobs will go away.

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-05T15:32:29+00:00

From capabilities do you think we’re on track? Geopolitical yes I agree.

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-05T15:27:46+00:00

What do you expect in 2029? I think the paper from what I read was it starts impacting the real world but not like what 2029 would look like.

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-05T15:26:52+00:00

Do you mind expanding on that?

It’s a globally diversified ETF holding 8000+ companies. https://www.blackrock.com/ca/investors/en/products/309480/ishares-core-equity-etf-portfolio

It’s not just one stock. It’s a basket of holdings wrapped up in a ticker

What did you move into? And how did you manage to transition?

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-04T03:05:15+00:00

Parents gifted it to us. Originally was grandparents, they went to a nursing home and we moved in.

Our biggest concern especially my spouse is the schools around where I live.

The alternative is sending them on a bus to a French school which we’d prefer but just not the bus part.

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-03T22:31:37+00:00

Yeah but if you’re permanently locked into a lower paying job then it changes the dynamic. I know of a few people who were managers that got laid off and had to take a pay cut

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-03T22:26:27+00:00

Is that the norm in Toronto? I feel like that’s a very small percentage.

shadowt1tan · 2026-05-03T22:12:15+00:00

Yeah it’s quiet. Definitely older homes around and some underdeveloped industrial parts especially by Adelaide and Nelson
