Ask HN: What am I supposed to do after I’m “disrupted”? Work in video and CG

I used that giant example a bit comically, perhaps. We're not talking about rapidly retraining a huge, illiterate, agriculture-focused workforce, with utterly game-changing technology.

We're talking about things that can be eased into, by white collar workers. And the numbers affected are nothing like the industrial revolution's either.

Im not sure for how long that will hold up if we end up automating all vehicle driving, image generation and robotising large parts of our workforce.

Driving is certainly a more significant workforce than image generation, but that seems to be a completely separate area of research.

Certainly. What I mean is - I didn’t expect image generative AI to get good this quickly. Before DallE I didn’t expect it to happen at all - I had no idea it was possible until it happened and I was forced to face it.

Driving seems like a tough nut to crack, but what if we suddenly start obliterating multiple areas of human employment one after the other? Ones we haven’t even thought of?
