For anyone who does cognitive work for a living, AI will be -- already IS -- rapidly and dramatically changing the employment landscape.
Plumbers and other blue-collar, manual-labor specialists are not yet being affected.
When truly dextrous and autonomous robots arrive (soon), even THAT will change.
I don't believe most people have ANY idea of how quickly and deeply things are changing.

A snippet from the page:
Perplexity Computer operates the software stack just like a human co-worker would: by using it. Computer reasons, delegates, searches, builds, remembers, codes, and delivers.
Start by describing an outcome. Perplexity Computer breaks it into tasks and subtasks, creating sub-agents for execution. The sub-agents might do web research, document generation, data processing, or API calls to your connected services. A document is drafted by one agent while another gathers the data it needs.
The coordination is automatic, and the work is asynchronous. You can focus on other things, or run dozens of Perplexity Computers in parallel.
When Computer runs into a problem, it creates sub-agents to solve it. It can find API keys, research supplemental information, code apps if necessary, and check in if it truly needs you. Every task runs in an isolated compute environment with access to a real filesystem, a real browser, and real tool integrations.
The result is a safe harness for powerful AI, universally accessible without localized setup, and delivering the best work of every current top AI model.
Data centers have been described as each being a country full of geniuses working 24/7. Things are about to get weird.
The Robotics alone is getting to be mind blowing. And that’s without AI and Data Centers being everywhere.
They can program other machines without human input, so there is no way of checking the code before implementation. AI has made its own language to talk to other AI's, its fanboys assure us its a safe harness without knowing anything very much about its mechanisms and simulations.
Now they can build skynet in a day.
Great heads up for the public, this is the year my friend. Its going down so quick my head is spinning. Mike Adams is one of the only 'good guys' I know doing solo projects as an AI LLM designer who covers the landscape. The job loss scene alone is going to literally leave us around as useless eaters.
We are going to have to build our own communities is what it comes down to if we cannot stop the Crazies.
Desired outcome: To crush the democrats, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
What party will an AI robot vote ?
I would say there's some heavy marketing in that.
Maybe. That's certainly a natural reaction.
But here's a post from about 2 weeks ago by Matt Schumer:
Something Big is Happening
And I've seen several things like this, from programmers, not companies selling AI.
Exponential change is NOT something humans are good at estimating; it goes against our ingrained common sense.
They will kill themselves even faster, too.
