I know 3 people who work from home. None work more than 20 hrs a week. Sometimes they work as little as 5 hrs except for once a quarter where they work a few 12-18 hr days and get overtime for it.
Go ask any AI out there to draw an image of the alphabet combined with images representing something that starts with each letter. You could keep it simple at just that or get more elaborate and give it a background or a theme (I like steampunk theme for example) and it CANNOT do it properly - no matter what you try or how detailed you get it can’t even get the order of letters or prevent duplication locates or include them all - it doesn’t matter what you try it just can’t do it. This is the same for everything AI does - I use it developing I’m GoLang and it’s about the same results every time… close but no cigar. AI in general is at this level only and not ready to completely replace many jobs at all… maybe in 10+ years is what I’m thinking.
I say 3 years. I think the public ai is decades behind military and proprietary tech bro stuff. I think they’ve been using advanced ai for years now. I’ve been wonder why Flynn and Bannon have said we’ve been interacting with AI for years but were unaware.
Functionally speaking many jobs could have been automated decades ago. From White Collar to Blue Collar.
The Will and Capital to refine the robots and systems we had that time wasn’t there. For a few reasons. Corporate Leaders and Middle Managers liked having legions of peons to lord over. The general public likes having another human being to yell at over something said employee has no functional control over. We live in a ‘Diverse Society’ so you need an human factor to keep an eye on the lowest common denominator. And they really weren’t quite sure what to do with the people who’d be out of work. You can only retrain so many people before they depress the wages of whatever industry you’re trying to set them into.
The Capital and Will are starting to enter the scene now. And Robotic systems have come a long way. So it’s probably even more viable now.
There’s an ongoing theory that a couple Agencies including the IRS are already like 90% AI run. Most of the staff are just doing busywork and there to be someone the general public can yell at. While the final 10% are there to double check the AIs work. And handle the occasional unusual situation or incident outside the norm.
I think all large organisations work the same way:
The more people there are in your department the more important you are.
Ignore your staff but suck up to your own boss if you want to get on.
Be seen to be good at fire-fighting. That is, whenever there is a crisis you need to be the go to person to fix it. Meanwhile, the manager in the next department that never has crises because he is a good manager, gets overlooked.
Oh they want THEIR AI up there, never ending propagandist telling you it's wrong that little jenny wants to transition to Johnny, and that little jimmy should be allowed to remove his penis before he hits puberty.
It's probably because most government jobs don't need to be done at all.
Exactly this. They create a new form and insist it’s filled in, then hire some more civil servants to process this form.
Fire the majority of them.

you very well could be right

I think all large organisations work the same way:
Pain reversal of fortunes. Bring back blue collar jobs and export white collar to AI.
AI is stupid and dangerous.
The question is, What Is a 'gov. job'?

Bingo
