Raw LLM Responses

I am 100% anti-trump and broadly support Sanders ideas. However, this video is mostly utter cringe and shows only how far behind the times Bernie is. Let me explain why. 1. The idea that "AI could wipe out the working class" is not supported in this video. Sanders drones on about robot manufacturing replacing human manufacturing. This has little to do with AI - manufacturing automation has been a thing and will continue to be a thing. But robots are expensive and only work when there is sufficient scale to make investments in robots worthwhile. While this will incrementally increase over time, this in practice affects a tiny percentage of the US workforce. Taken as a whole, even in the fact of "more robots", US manufacturing jobs have remained broadly constant and will remain so. Inf act, the big winners with some of the most protected jobs in light of new technology are the working class - people who work with their hands in dirty and/or human jobs (care aides) who are least likely to be automated and/or replaced by AI. Go see how much your local plumber makes in the USA. 2. Sanders quotes random people whose predictions are that AI may take over some white collar working-class jobs. While this is true to some extent, it's far less than previous predictions. That hype of 1-4 years ago is now understood to be overstated. The AI bubble will implode soon for the simple fact that we can all see that AI is not ready for prime time for any job where correctness or reliability matters. Ask Chat*** about a topic that you know something about and watch how wrong it is. Now understand it to be equally wrong about things you don't know so much about. 3. Sanders both doesn't understand the problem and his solutions are counterproductive. All of his "solutions" involve incentivizing companies to hire even fewer workers. If suddenly a 32-hour work week is the law with no decrease in salary, then "robots" suddenly become more attractive, financially. Don't get me wrong - Sanders has correctly identified some very serious broad issues just like any reasonably intelligent grandpa might. But he has whiffed badly on the specifics. I think we need some solid understanding of why for example there are not enough truck drivers in the USA when this is taken as a whole a stable and well-enough paid profession with little threat from automation in the near future no matter what Musk might pretend. There are answers to this but they don't make that "working class" look good to be sure (short answer: between substance abuse, obesity, and other lifestyle-related medical problems - the pool of working class that could reliably drive a truck as a job is surprisingly low AND the industry suffers from a lack of job protection due to fragmentation - the latter should be fixed by sanders).
