Tyler Cowen has a lot of interesting things to say on the impact of AI on the economy. His recent talk at DeepMind is a good place to start https://www.aipolicyperspectives.com/p/a-discussion-with-tyl...

I really think Clojure should be recognised as boring tech more than it is. It seems to have drifted out of public discourse in the last couple of years, which is a shame because it's a rock solid, simple, predictable language that would make an excellent choice for many use cases.

It's just a shame that the syntax will forever be a barrier to widespread adoption.

If AI becomes sophisticated enough to take our jobs, then it should be capable of creating a system that solves UBI at scale.

It hasn't fallen. The Clojure community has been growing steadily and continues to grow (it's a great community, I'll add). Things have just settled down since, that's why there are fewer announcement.

As an aside, the 2019 SO survey shows Clojure programmers are the best paid [1].

Most Clojure programmers I know (myself included) would not choose to go back to Java.

The idea that we are not all that dissimilar from our animal counterparts is one of the central arguments put forward by John Gray in Straw Dogs.

I would be very interested to see if providing speaker locale as a feature to a machine learning algorithm would increase its performance for speech recognition.
