It surprises me why everybody gets really worked up about inflation and inflation data. Inflation has always existed, and people have been using investments to beat the inflation.

I need recommendations that can give me similar return.

I've also honed in on that very same observation. It's fascinating and extremely wise. There's also the other extreme that is quite intriguing, to me, anyway, and that's the 'in the moment', off the cuff, no calculated response or intent, just letting your heart speak, side of the isle. It's raw, candid, and usually very genuine. Elon seems to do both at the same time, interestingly, like a quantum computer. He's a pretty unique character. Mad respect.

I was a production manager in Renault up until Covid, worked in the body shop department. My department prepared side panel pieces that would be introduced to the main production line, just like countless other departments did. There's virtually no AI involved in the manufacturing process. It's very basic and simple programming. Operators places processed aluminum pieces on their stations, maybe weld a small feature or two and feed it to the robotic line. When the pieces is placed, sensors are triggered which activate the program that tells the robot to move to that position, grip the material, move it to a secondary position, release or hold for another robot to weld then go back and repeat the process. The scale of the production line lends itself to the illusion of a spectacular symphony controlled by some AI when in fact it's just a large number of small programs being executed by simple machines to complete a simple task which eventually results in a car. There's virtually no artificial intelligence involved in the process, only human ingenuity and some automated muscle. I can't say with absolute certainty that Tesla factories don't use AI in some shape or form, but they're definetly not using anything on the level that's being discussed around the world right now. That I know for a fact.
With the rate AI and robotics are advancing no job is guaranteed safe in 20 years, and many will be automated before then.

It stated that “a robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.”

When asking about what careers a person should look at. Look at everything ai would be most valuable in. Then look at job areas where a ai just can't be entrusted with that job. Welding for example. You measure, examine, check, double check before using tools to combine two pieces of metal to be one bigger piece. Another example taking care wildlife and children. The value of the connection from another being can't be mimicked by a machine. When that happens it will be decades if not centuries later. For now just know that certain jobs that requires fast typing, proofreading and other jobs that means responding to people will start to fade out. Already if you can't get someone when calling customer service you get a machine that gives you options with limited responses. It won't be long before that changes and you will no longer have a human trying to help customers. If companies are smart they will keep a roster of people for the cases that require a human connection to solve a issue. Machines are not the answer but there are alot of people who may feel differently. I'm really just praying they take the right approach to this.

The question is: are humans as creative as we can possibly be, or is there a lot of things that we are missing because we are not 100% creative, in the abstract meaning of the word? Then, is AI going to be 100% creative? Would AI come up with what Einstein, or Mozart, or Dave Chapelle were able to come up with? Will AI give us the theoretical (at least) solutions to everything that we can then implement? AI will be use could be useful but I doubt it can be more creative, but I could be painfully and utterly wrong.
