Now What? (DO THIS NOW) Description: We need protect ourselves NOW for the invasion of AI job replacement. It's easy to think this trend is happing later in the future. Or, that it will affect someone else, but not us. That thinking is WRONG. AI is here NOW, And, it's replacing people's jobs TODAY. Just do a quick internet search on "jobs being replaced by AI". Sure, the wealthy, philanthropic (usually white men) will talk about how steps are being put in place to protect the public at large. That's meaningless feel-good talk. The reality is that big money is always opportunistic. Wealthy barrons of industry always have, and always will, seek to increase profits regardless of the ethical impacts. You need to honest with yourself about the prospects of having your job being replaced by Artificial Intelligence, robotics and automation. There's a malaise in the general public's perception that this is something that's happening LATER. But that "LATER" is now. So what can you do about it? Evaluate what talents or skills you posses already which will not be easily replaced by AI or Robotics. For instance, Performing Arts, Technical trades (plumbing, auto mechanics, medical care), In-person sales. Or, find a quick way to re-train to some other trade which is more shielded from the wave of AI replacement. In this video, I'll share important tips on how to protect yourself from AI job replacement and what steps to take to ensure your career is safe in the age of robotics. </video> <video> TWAMP testing for Nextlab Netmeter N1 Description: a simple explanation of using the TWAMP (Two way active measurement protocol) test feature on the Nextlab Netmeter N1.
