Well, that was a jolting read! I guess that I was blessed to have worked in the technical field most of my life, and that I retired just in time. I feel bad for younger folks who are still working and now facing an uncertain, perhaps even doomed, future.
So what happens to humanity when AI is doing all the work? What will people do all day? Where will they get their income?
What happened all through the C19 lockdown?
What did that tell us?
It told me that there's a WHOLE LOTTA non-contributing zeroes that DON'T need to be on my roads, that just "push paper" or whatever the digital equivalent is to washing rocks all day...
Think back...there wasn't really any disruption in the supply chain at all. A few delays and you couldn't get certain types of alky because hand sanitizer craze, but...Everything kept moving.
This entire economy and the concept of what "work" really is, is a house of cards. A total illusion...
Even growing up in my neighborhood...My old man was the ONLY guy that actually worked with his hands within a 1/4 mile (at least) radius. I'm not even kidding...Everyone else sold insurance, day traded, sold furniture or electonics or some other bs. Zero skilled trades...Lawn Doctor rolled up on every one of those mofos houses...I was Lawn Doctor...pushing a Lawn Boy...2 stroke...best mower evaar!!!
