Money isn't real. Society doesn't actually require money, it requires labor (for now). The billionaire class won't need you to buy their products once they've cemented control over society (the oligarchical police-state they are in the process of solidifying). They will enslave the labor they still require and the rest of us will be left to rot or outright killed. For anyone interested, check out what the people behind this regime are saying. They write books and give speeches and talk openly about their visions for the future. It's terrifying and they are already very much in the process of making it a reality. And few people are really paying attention or understanding what these guys are up to. Techno feudalism is the plan. You will own nothing, you will have no rights, and you work for and will answer to them. This is not ultimately about money. Money is a conduit for power. They do not care if you can buy their products once they have all the money and power. |

How will people pay for these services if they don’t have jobs? |

How's that tinfoil hat feeling? Seems like it might be a little bit snug. |

White-collar work is going to experience what manufacturing already did with outsourcing, and service jobs experienced with immigration. It won't happen overnight but it will be a steady grind with wages stagnating each year, and jobs becoming less and less secure.
You'll probably have to also deal with snarky comments like "learn to code" or being told how hard-working the AI is. The funniest part is the people that will lose their jobs are the kinds of people that like to repeat the "first they came for..." piece. Now no one is left to care about your jobs, and many may even cheer on your unemployment as you cheered on theirs. |

Np. Interesting. What tasks are you using AI for? AI is good at writing basic python scripts that I then need to edit for my network environment. But it cannot do any other tasks for my job. |

All you have to do is look around and you can see it. I work in tech. I talk to these tech CEOs. They aren't keeping their plans secret. They're writing books and giving lectures. |

Exactly. People have zero logical reasoning skills, if 100 million White Collar people are unemployed then there goes your market for blue collar services. No we don't need landscapers, plumbers, construction workers, we can do those tasks ourselves. As for medical professionals, only for emergency or I can always go to Mexico or India. Who will pay the Teachers if majority of tax base is gone? |

This. We have very little time left for a critical mass of Americans to develop some solidarity with their fellow workers and any sense of intersecionailty. None of this happens in a vacuum. You can't shrug as bad things happens to your neighbors and honestly believe it will not eventually affect you. |

So, now pretty much everyone is unemployed, blue collar workers have no market to sell their services to and then what? There is no tax base because people are unemployed, so who is paying for Medicaid or SSI etc? This gloating will last 5 seconds when you find out that people like you are now 10 x worse off than you thought. |

I expect the tech bros will find a way to ensure their services are never, ever impacted. Don't want to pay for their services? Then don't eat.

Relax, it’s a report by Sanders designed to scare |

+1 And don't say "AI codes itself". Because then I can say "Code that codes itself doesn't code itself". There is no Skynet. |
