Ironically, it looks like complex physical labour will last longer than most tech, art and entertainment jobs.

Doctors will be automated before nurses.

This sounds like me preaching to my friends. I fully agree. You could automate physicians today. Surgeons not yet.

Only thing that will keep doctors employed is really strong lobby and gatekeeping.

repetitive desk jobs like accounting, admin, law, are probably in danger too

Everything that can be done with our brain will be done better with a software I guess.

Most attorney jobs are gonna be super easy gigs in the handful of years before they’re automated away. I do think older folks will generally want a human attorney to walk them through things, but the day to day work outside of talking to clients and other attorneys will be a cakewalk.

Laws are just software anyway.

The hardware is "collections of human minds" and the os is just government.

Yeah. But I could imagine that this AI tech will help dramatically invent new materials for robots, design more efficient ways to build robots and test them in virtual environments. Real robots might come sooner than we think but of course it will take more time than digital world and nobody can't construct robots in billions very fast.

Physical labor jobs will be the last ones to go. Intellectual jobs that require you working with a keyboard will be the first ones to get automated.

No one expected artists and programmers to be the first to get automated away, but here we are.

Not ironic at all. We all knew that exponential progress interfacing with the physical world would take longer for straightforward reasons of political economy more so than lack of technical knowledge

Depends on the entertainment jobs but yes obviously since hardware is a lot harder to manufacture than software
