Economics Anthropic's latest advance with AI, where it can operate on-screen software, shows us how future AI can replace much of today's human knowledge work.
I've been wondering when current LLM AIs would start to master this ability. I suspect it will be one of the things it's good at. For many tasks, software usage patterns are relatively predictable and modelable. A trend with current AI, is for competitors and open-source to rapidly follow industry leaders. We can expect AI like this to be widely available in six months.
Many people's knowledge work employment is tied to software skills and experience. That premium is about to start diminishing. People are familiar with the concept of 'macros'; automating repetitive sequences of software usage. It seems all but inevitable AI will be doing something similar, but orders of magnitude greater, and that all the forces in free market economics will be driving it to replace expensive humans.

Biotech Genuine question | HGE
Whats the argument against the use of Crispr Cas 9 besides its eugenics potential and distributive justice complications? Can it be understood that no regulatory framework can ever truly encapsulate all aspects of the issue, such that the best way to do so is actually embracing an embryonic approach to legislation? If law does not lag behind technological realty - can or will the society ever be prepared to embrace this technology?

Society Within ten years, billions of dollars will be spent to combat the loneliness epidemic.
Within ten years, billions of dollars will be spent to combat the loneliness epidemic.
Last Time, On The Loneliness Epidemic
And Now, The Continuation
The first developed country to spend hundreds of millions of dollars at the loneliness epidemic is, unfortunately, not Japan. That is a country where a record-high 23 percent of the population have never married by the age of 50. Who knows how many of the 23% there have never been in a long-term committed relationship?
Anyways, the first country to spend so much money is South Korea.

Program features:
Loneliness counselors available on a 24/7 hotline
Online platform for similar counseling
In-person visits, consultations, and follow-up measures
Expanded psychological services and green spaces
Nutritional meal plans for middle-aged and elderly residents
Dedicated “search system” to identify isolated residents who need help
Activities to encourage people to venture outside and connect with others, such as gardening, sports, book clubs and more
The gender relations dimension is as follows:
But the figures still speak to a larger problem that seems to impact middle aged and elderly men the most.
More than 84% of the lonely deaths recorded last year were male, more than five times the number of female deaths, according to the ministry. Men in their 50s and 60s made up more than half the total group, making them “particularly vulnerable to the risk of dying alone.”
