The lesson is don't go to work for big corporations who only see you as a cost. You have to take the risk and use the skills you have to do it on your own. You'll feel better about yourself and you will feel much better about your bank account if you do it right.
That didn't turn out according to the dooming predictions. Application of advanced methods generally means an increase in productivity, lowered production costs (economies of scale), a wider market, and the need for human workers. Toyota became an automotive giant because they had a choice after World War II: reduce their labor costs by laying off employees, or keeping their employees and improving their productivity. They took the latter path. This was an inspiration to Boeing's Alan Mulally, who was a potential Boeing CEO before he was passed over. He was made CEO of Ford, and pulled them out of the doldrums.
Dear Ford CEO,
AI will never buy any of your products. White collar and blue collar employees will. Provided they aren’t replaced by artificial intelligence.
It never ceases to amaze me how these supposedly intelligent executives continually fantasize about cutting jobs and inflicting damage on their market
Interesting fact: CEO of Ford is cousin of Chris Farley (the deceased actor)

And robots will take half the manufacturing jobs. I am talking Humanoid type.

We should probably start with the C-suite.
How are you feeling today?
About the same as yesterday, but grumpier.
But it is kind of you to ask, so thank you.
At least you're not Michael Madsen.
The day is still young, but I think I'll at least make it to the 4th.
