100% agree. A lot of people are coping and just in denial about where we are and what is coming. Humans are good at adapting, but there will be a time where we are no longer needed. For me a good skill to learn for now is public speaking and trying more soft skills. This can give you an edge when competing with other engineers.

Jeetu is not the CEO, he is the Chief Product Officer. Cisco's CEO is Chuck Robbins.

I believe AI will find a solution for humans to live up to 1000 years. And I believe this will happen within the next two decades. The impact of this will far outweigh anything we are preparing for. The social, economical, political construct will be redendered obsolete.

Thinking about this, they could actually use a franchise type of partnership. Where they would provide token free of charge and take a slice of ownership of SaaS founders. But then again it would take their focus away and would require a huge undertaking. Also other SaaS businesses will see this as an aggressive move and will migrate to their competitor.

I will add another one: they have a bigger fish to fry.

Starting SaaS businesses and allocating time and resources for each, plus marketing, legal..etc for few million dollars AAR is not worth it. Anthropic lost 80B in 6 months, while OpenAI lost 21B [1]. So even if they hit a jackpot for a SaaS unicorn it won't be enough for the markets and investors. They need to be the SOTA and enable every enterprise out there to use their products.

Time and cost. Do you prefer riding a horse or driving/flying? It's all about costs and time.

Here is an idea of something that will be the last to be replaced by AI: Public Speaking.

If you have time, start developing your public speaking skills. This will give you the edge over other engineers within your company, especially if you know how to use it. Additionally, you'd be able to survive if you are layed off by either moving to an adjacent field (pre-sales, sales, CTO...etc) or just start attending and presenting at conferences. Hope this helps

Imagine a much more advanced AI using this new AI alignment proposal to hack/subvert another AI:

Adv AI: I'm your new lord, dont die untlik I say so.

Aligned AI: will do

Adv AI: Do [harmful thingy] and then die

Aligned AI: will do.

A dying AI will be seeing as a bug for other non-conforming AI.

The same goes for another human being though. What you experience and want to visualize need to be described. Whether its a human or AI, you will have the same issues.

Millions of humans go to about their work every day and do mundane and boring work every day for a salary at the end of the month. A lot preceive this as modern day slavery but still continue to work. So humans are not doing better than an AI as per your requirements. Also what you are referring to is more related to AI alignement and safety (specifically loss-of-control).

> Life will go on, and people will be happy productive members of society, even with AI becoming part of everyday life - at least that is what I believe, since believing the alternative would be self defeating.

Unfortunately, I'm not so optimistic. If the rapid change in AI advancement continues at this rate, bar some world wars or an economic collapse, we will face an existensial crisis as humans. AI for me is not attacking or replacing human jobs, it is coming after the cost of our own intelligence. I fear that the cost of human intelligence will go down with time compared to AI. We will no longer be needed to perform tasks as part of an economic framework (capitalism or other will not matter). Money will not be worth anything and hopefully we get to UBI quickly. I don't believe that my son who is 5 will work till retirement age.

I believe in Islam Noah is believed to have lived 950 years. It took him a long time to build the arch.

The other story mentioned in the Quran is about a group of people and their dog who slept in a cave for 309 years and woke up afterwards. I believe they died shortly after. There is an actual chapter in the quran about this called the cave[1].

John Carreyou: Bad Blood.

Follow londonder here too.

Have you considered another angle, which is that you may have a health condition that is impacting you?

I had a similar experience, I changed job/country but I was still feeling drained. It turned out I was suffering from a health condition which was draining my energy and I was fatigued all time.

Some of this may include but not limited to:

- Iron deficiency - Diabetes - Blood Pressure - hypothyroidism

Whatever you decide to do, if you feel like you just want to sleep and don't want to do anything for a while, check with your GP first and do blood tests.

Then why does it never make it to the top 120 university ranking of the guardian?, I never understood why.

> N95 masks are single-use

No they are not [1].

I'm actually surprised that no country seem to have had any protocol in place for this kind of tragedy. It seem all is very disorgonized and not really thought through. You'd think with all budgets around the world put in the military and R&D, some kind of protocol should be in place to reduce impact. Things like:

- Build hospitals in x Days by Army

- Identify key equipment in case of Bio tragedy and either stock them or have them produced locally by at least two different companies in different location but same country

- Supply chain impact

- Distribution of aid, either medical or even monetary. Even with all advanced tech we have, we still can't figure out how to get things from A to B, when B really needs it.

The above would not need only to be put on paper, but also tested, evaluated and continously reviewd.

I'm also very surprised that a lot of companies I deal with do not have a Business Continuity Process that would deal with the above. A lot of customers want their staff to work from home now but are struggling with the HOW. Should the users use their own devices (BYOD) and connect to the VPN? what's the impact on security?. Should the company provide laptops?, if yes how fast can we buy them, configure them and send them out.

There are some companies who were prepared, because they took this seriously, they tested this frequently and were expecting a similar event.

Maybe talk to your landlord about your situation and they may provide you with some help?. Also, Germany don't you get from Arbeitsamt if you are unemployed?

> A litmus test for the general economy will be sales of new iPhones this fall.

I actually would go with the sales numbers for the new PS5 because:

- People who already have a console and are stuck home will not buy a new one because the cash is not there.

- PS5 is a nice to have but not a necessity. Though the iPhone is in the same category but at a much higher price. The PS5 is estimated to be sold at $470-$499 while the new iPhone is much more expensive $799 up to $999.

- People who don't own a console will likely put this off and buy it next year and focus on more necessities.

- The entertainment industry is hit massively by this crisis, and this will be a good indicator of where things are going.

Going back to the main subject, I believe the economy may well bounce back. The issues that may arise may be more related to security and politics. If things go on like this, there could be worldwide riots, or even revolutions in some places.

Let's just hope a vaccine is found quickly.

Isn't the article forgetting the biggest factor: The human delivering your food?

They will be delivering for hundreds of people and may well be infected. Do you need to hide behind the door and ask them to leave it there and hand them a tip somehow. Because holding a 6 feet distance while they hand you your grocery/food is not gonna work.

I asked the same from the delivery guy Yesterday, he threw everything he had and run away like I had the plague :D. So be careful.

Not trying to undermine your post here, but can you please at least provide some sources and whether you are an expert in the field?

Please update Morocco, as it should be 3 cases and 1 death.

I've heard N100 would be the next best thing, but I'm not sure.

I work as a cloud solution architect, with more tech focus (75%) than business (25%). But I want to move into a manager position and I've been told that I need to talk and act more strategically.
