What i feel the only thing that made USA the best with the current position the reality that it never ran away. Overall the USA open stats allowed them to prosper! I hope this will soon gets over! though as outsider where we stand we want the USA to stay the way it was helper and rational based! Now people can come and say multiple things. But usa does helped a lot of good things to happen across world. If it falls CHINA rise. And if that country rise, it will destroy everything that it touches!
true itself. Once you are developed and everyone is earning good enough to sustain and they are not interested in crap things. Things get really stable indeed.
A huge number of these jobs will go yes. A call centre supervisor may be safe taking escalation calls that need a human and so on but the masses will be replaced by this kind of tech.
However what will actually happen is society will use these people to brick lay for houses, care for the elderly or something else. That's honestly a good thing for society as we have massive shortages there, and not a bad thing for the individuals as a whole.

Labor "shortages" for those jobs exist because they are not financially attractive. Why is it a "good thing" to eliminate more attractive roles? How does this materially reduce the cost of living, or increase for the roles you point to?
Let's say answering a phone is 11/hour and laying bricks is 11.20/hour. No big shock that people will take the phone job, but if you remove that option more people will flow into the laying bricks job.
Also, let's not forget an underlying pillar of society; real-estate must never decrease in value. That doesn't really fit with the theory that we're going to build a lot of real-estate.
One of the pillars of our society is that real-estate value must never go down, and so I'm skeptical that a lot more people are going to start building real-estate.
The question is totally fair, but it's unreasonable (imho) to expect owners of this project to have to answer. We are looking at < 500 lines of python, mostly just gluing together SIP and agents.
My reaction was slightly different: how many companies selling this (meager) service at a high premium will go out of business now that it's free/open?
That is one of our goals. If a solution is under 500 lines of Python, you should not need to pay $499 per month for it. We want to lower the barrier for developers and businesses to build their own voice agents.
I'm not convinced that most companies are going to choose shifting all those people to "higher value work", when the alternative is firing at least some of them them to improve short-term shareholder profits.
What you say is totally going to do opposite! In developing countries like India here people don't have too many skills are going to face the heat anyways
it turns out many professions are essentially a long loop of repetitive tasks. Think telemarketing, or phone support, for instance. What kind of "higher-value work" would a phone support agent do?
> The goal isn’t to replace people [...] It’s about shifting roles, not eliminating them and doing it responsibly.
With what knowledge you have of the entire history of capitalism ever, do you, genuinely and earnestly, believe this is what's going to happen, and there isn't, perhaps, a different outcome that is more likely?
We just hook up generators to bikes so that the former phone workers can now power the AI thats replaced them. This will eventually be a cheaper alternative to the current power grid as ai electricity consumption increases.
The same technology can also enable businesses that never had live phone support to offer it affordably. The goal is augmentation and access, not mass replacement.
You can try monal xmpp. It's working great for my contacts. There are multiple servers that you can self host. On android you have better part is conversations. My entire family uses it.
I'm not familiar with the Australian education system or this study's design, but at first glance, this quote
>The report, commissioned by the Alliance of Girls’ Schools Australasia, was conducted by Macquarie Marketing Group using OECD data
reads more to me like "we found that all-girl private schools are better than the average of public and private schools", and the obvious reason why is probably *because they're private schools*, and not because they're all-girl.
> there are some underlying factors skewing these results, such as:
> * grammar schools are more likely to be single-sex
> * co-educational schools have a higher proportion of poorer pupils
> * girls are more likely to get good results
The original statement which I replied to was an absolute position. These examples invalidate it.
Also note that both of your comments show that people in a position to choose, are choosing single sex schools for their daughters and getting better outcomes on average.
Lastly, while the article mentions some caveats around selective state schools, the other side of that is the UK has many single sex comprehensive schools. We should not ascribe too much weight to the caveat.
Generally, in mixed-gender groups aged 13+, you will have some dating activity and a subsequent drama / bad blood from various heartbreaks and betrayals. Having to sit in the same classroom makes everything emotionally worse.
This is somewhat less of a problem if the same activites take place outside school and thus are less likely to complicate relationships within the class.
Those of current generation students who have access to ai might become slow over time. Because when things are not readily available then they have to struggle and work harder in that process, at that time I thing human a lot of secondary things ! Now when everything is easily available especially knowledge without knowing how to struggle with basics. It will eventually make kids dumb. But can be opposite also.
Eventually even I become slow even I keep on using chat gpt or gemini.
