      ​@@nk_light1644 The reality is many people in Ukraine see a brighter future being part of Europe rather than being outside of it, especially young people. Russia did not want Ukraine to leave its sphere so it created instability in Ukraine by sending Russian soldiers and arming separatists there. Then started a war because the nation is "unstable".
      Bearing this in mind Russia has many options.
      Russia could become a democratic government like Canada or Norway. Follow the U.N. Charter of Human Rights. Use its money towards education and developing Russia and making life better for Russians. End the oligarchy and corruption. Become a western ally rather than an adversary.

      @@ThunderFrost31 You can't find more stupid thoughts. How do you know what Ukrainians want? I have Russian-Ukrainian roots, and my relatives live in Ukraine and Russia. In 2014, pro-Russian President Yanukovych was elected. The United States then openly supported the far-right opposition, which organized a coup d'etat. Residents of the western regions of Ukraine with their desire to be part of the EU were in the minority, and eastern Ukraine has always been for friendship with Russia. This was a short educational program for you. Secondly, membership in the EU always implies subsequent accession to NATO, which creates too much density of military bases near the borders of Russia. Thirdly, a good life in the EU and economic growth always depend on the cost of raw materials and energy resources. Stupid Europeans do not even understand that the United States has stripped them naked for the third time, luring away all production, investments and brains and collapsing the economy on its territory. Get an education, you live on a parasitic system, robbing peoples and driving them into debt. The Western education system is disgusting - children and adults do not know where the countries of the world are. So save your advice for yourself, ignoramus)))

    So off the top of my head the hardest jobs to automate would be lawyer, politician, director (requires creative vision, something ai can simulate but I think would be difficult to raise to the right standard) and teacher, I think while you could have an ai educate children, there would likely be developmental problems that may arise, so maybe only safe for high school and up. Special needs teachers and other mental health professionals would likely be impossible to automate unless we can perfectly create human ai in which case there would be a fairly strong case to give them human rights since they think and feel just like a human and as such treating them as "mechanical slaves" wouldn't be acceptable.

    I think the point Oliver may be missing is 50%. That’s huge and I think it’s conservative. The other point is that the oligarchs are blaming immigrants for the job losses to appease the oligarchs. Who will buy the products when the population has no jobs. Also AI is a different type of automation than before. Ai can speak, understand, and execute. Oliver should watch some of the videos from Boston Dynamics. These are general purpose machines.

    • @moogle68
      @moogle68 Місяць тому +4

      Videos of robots doing things they were programmed to be able to do, made by the people making the robots, will always be made in such a way that they exaggerate the robot's abilities. When you actually put them in real world situations it becomes very clear that they are not all that they are cracked up to be. Oliver did not miss the significance of 50%, he literally discredited that number by explaining that the paper simply states that's how many jobs _may_ add automation, which does not necessarily mean that a job was lost. So, he was pointing out that, as usual, news media scraped an article or research paper for an eye catching headline, and twisted the facts either out of a misunderstanding, or intentionally, in a way that distorts the _actual_ results of the research.
      On a separate note, oligarchs don't care about job losses, if anything they are excited by them, because that means less money being spent by their companies, and therefore more they get to keep. Blaming job losses on immigrants is being done to divert blame from automation/greed to a believable (but false) Boogeyman in a way that conveniently addresses another view that oligarchs have, which is that they don't want people that don't look or think like them coming into the country.
