RTGI and hybrid-RT solutions like Lumen already automate a lot of intensive lighting work. That's why so many publishers push to use UE5 even when their developers have proprietary engines. I don't think this will erase artists from the process entirely, just like these technologies didn't, but like with every industry it will likely mean less hiring of entry-level people. I suspect unemployment will be around 20% by 2030, but much, much higher for those early in their career. And it will affect pretty much every industry. That's a recipe for a social revolution and will be THE political problem to solve. It's probably a good thing it would be so widespread though because that means the problem can't be thrown under the rug. The big wildcard is embodied intelligence/robotics. I hope it isn't solved before then. |
This is why I keep saying AI will lead to humanity going extinct. I'm tired of being brushed off as someone who's "overreacting", just like people who were warning everyone else about Hitler. |
The problem with this stance is that it implies nothing can be done other than somehow reverse technology in a Dune-esque fashion. I can't think of an example of this happening historically.
But we can do something else. We can change the social system and move beyond capitalism. Capitalism is what is creating these x-risks.
