Humans Need Not Apply

[jazzy_dave]

Nabbed from jeriendhal this is a very important and sobering video. So the ideal of full employment is no longer viable for the majority of us in the near future, if not now.

Scary ..

Haven't watched the video yet, but I note that, in the United States in some areas, there is a tendency to teaching in order to pass standardized tests.

Standardized tests are designed to be able to be graded by computers. This means that kids are being trained to "learn" in a way that is convenient to computers.

Which means that they are being trained to do specifically the things that computers can definitionally do better. Which is not a good strategy for learning how to do jobs that will actually exist when the kids grow up.
