Summary: AI will specifically destroy jobs created by computers in the first place, preserving 'offline' jobs, while minimally impacting work quality, and preserving gross productivity.

1) The jobs that AI destroys will largely be isolated to many of the same jobs the computers created, facilitated or enabled, 2) The more that workers in a given field were reliant upon computers, the lower the percentage of them will be required to accomplish the same output after AI is deployed; this reduction in demand for workers could be up to 90% in some market segments. 3) When this happens, work quality only suffers slightly; 4) When this happens, productivity is not reduced, and some companies may scale-up fewer workers to surpass previous productivity levels.

The take-away is that jobs that were largely or entirely not dependent on computers (or which predate computer) will be less impacted by the rollout of ML and AI. These jobs include carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen.

This will remain true until corporations push culture if not laws to have androids perform those remaining jobs left to humans (e.g. carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen). At that point, society will debate whether productivity is more important that anthropocentrism and protecting a moralized, industrious, human populations.

Specific Friend

Two people who usually start off as acquaintances and find common ground in the most fundamental spheres so much so that all the differences between them that they discover in the course of knowing each other, stop mattering and only start drawing them further towards each other in the most amusing yet deeply rooted manner.

They then transition from becoming friends to something that put the words 'friend' and even 'best friend' to shame and effortlessly at that. Neither time, distance nor arguments of all sorts- that of a silly nature to something pretty serious, nothing can shake it off and the process of figuring out those arguments only go on to strengthen the bond that already existed.

This specific friendship includes emotions that cannot be explained, but only be felt in outbursts so strong that it hurts parts of the body that were thought to not exist. It includes a passion for togetherness which cannot be measured in any form except some sentimental and explicit emojis.

This specific friendship can survive the most grueling of circumstances and make you feel at complete 'shanti' as it gets, thus its nothing less than one in a 'mil'.

It also leads to several fights, sleepless nights but ultimately exclusive rights.

This kind of friendship is a constant.
It cannot be generalized or replicated, hence it is very specific.
For example: AnA are not the best of friends. They are very specific friends.

Non Specific Builderitis

A critical and sometimes expensive condition whereby a builder goes off at a tangent and does something you didn't want. Why is it called, "Non specific"? BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T SPECIFY IT !
Opens door, "Oh no what's that?" Why have they done that? When challenged the builder will start his reply with, "What I thought was" You will think, "I am a victim of Non Specific Builderitis"
