  • In the long run, there is very little a machine can’t do. Though in some cases we have not quite invented that machine yet.

    And right now the job replacement is happening at an exponentially higher level than the industrial revolution everyone compares it to.

    This isn’t every cobbler going to work in a shoe factory.

    Its not like everyone replaced by AI can go become a programmer or a “prompt engineer”, especually when in many cases, the AI also already does that job too.

    A world where we no longer need to work is fine, but we as a society are not working towards that, because we allow the hoarding of wealth and power instead of punishing it forciboy, brutally, swiftly. We just let that corruption fester and grow.












  • I mean, maybe, except we are way way way past the point where we can fix this. Very large numbers of humans, will die, likely in the next 20 years. From famine and fighting caused by mass migration from now unlivable areas.

    Given our response level when we had time and resources and somewhat willing to work governments, vs now, its going to be a very large percentage, probably 100% within 40-50 years as it spirals and gets worse more and more rapidly.

    People got all pissy during COVID when things became hard to get from shipping delays and they couldn’t go out to eat. Wait until things become hard to get because those things can no longer be manufactured and they can’t go out to eat because there is no food.

    But hey, enough Doomer talk. Fidja see, Elon Musk isna Trillionaire! Everything is booming! MONEY!
