Why can't people see the implications of ai tech for the future?

Today, I posted comment on grapevine about how AI is different from industrial revolution, pc, mobile, internet revolution which created very high paying jobs. However grapeviners started ridiculing me. itā€™s weird it feels like most people both in and outside of ai arenā€™t able or unwilling to extrapolate the current level of technology even one iteration into the future and plan for it. I have been having these severe arguments with my peers who think that will never replace us. Like HOW CAN YOU BE SO SHORT SIGHTED. Just 3 months ago i was showing ai art and talking about how it is gonna replace artists, and one my peers just said "ai can't draw hands so it will never replace artists" like BRUH DONT YOU FUCKING SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE. Can't you see the rate at which it's progressing? How can you claim that it won't replace us in the future, they act like the ai is static and that it doesn't learn. It's so frustrating. Now when ai can't draw hands, they will just pick something else like "yea but it can't do this" like BRUH YOU SAID THE SAME SHIT A MONTH AGO. WHY CANT TOU SEE THAT ITS FUCKING EVOLVING. ARE YOU ALL BLIND??? They say ai is stupid and that our future will remain like our present. I mentioned an example of how a small group of artists were replaced by a company, and they just said "but that's just a small group of people" LIKE BROOOOOOOOOO YOU WERE SAYING THEY WOULDNT BE REPLACED AT ALL A FEW MONTHS AGO, CANT YOU SEE WHERE WE ARE HEADING? When i talk about this, they just accuse me, calling me an overthinker, and that is should spend my time doing something else. "If you like ai so much, then why don't you just marry it?" Where does this stupid thought process come from, why can't they see into the future, yes the tech sucks now but can't you see the rate at which it has been improving???

[Thread] Why 2024 is going to be a massive hit for the ecosystem?

As we bid farewell to the challenges of the past, let's delve into why 2024 is poised to be a game-changer for the Indian Startups! šŸš€ In 2020, the world weathered the storm of COVID, followed by unprecedented quantitative easing. We then saw that in 2021 the bull run came soaring. Investors, fueled by the appetite for riskier assets led to a funding boom for startups as salaries soared. Fast forward to 2022, and the music is about to stop. The realization that the Fed would hike rates to curb inflation means that funding is about to dry up as big money will be invested away into debt/T-Bills. Though demand remained robust, the stock market felt the impact as JPow raised the interest rates. Late 2022 and 2023 saw the tech landscape experiencing layoffs, and startups facing significant headwinds. Itā€™s a wonder if anyone raised this year. But here's the twistā€”2024 looks brighter. The stock markets have rebounded to all-time highs, signaling that things may be on the rise. Despite geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and Iraq, the macro outlook for India shines bright. For Indian Startups? VC Funding is still here to stay. So keep your heads down and keep building. From what I am hearing, it is set to make a roaring comeback. There is now significant rationality in the funding ecosystem leading to realistic valuations. However, this revival will come with a plot twist. Newer companies, fueled by fresh funding, are set to rise, while most of the lofty valuations of those who raised in 2021 are about to crash and burn. So buckle up folks. Letā€™s see where it takes us. What do you think? šŸ¤”
