They should be. 100 million less jobs means a hell of a lot more competition for the jobs that still exist, lower wages and benefits because of increased competition, and we will all suffer in a society with a lot more angry and desperate people.

+1 if no one else has a job, who’s going to pay for their services?

Exactly. It's terrifying how little people understand abiut how society works and how tied together our fates really are. You don't eliminate the livelihood of millions of people, and the society as a whole doesn't feel it.

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.

At that point we are looking at a repeat of the French Revolution, what's there to lose?

White collar works will need to up-skill and move jobs like blue collared workers did when automation took their jobs. No one has the same job all their lives anymore.

And don't say "AI codes itself". Because then I can say "Code that codes itself doesn't code itself".

There is no Skynet.

Yet. We're probably headed towards Judge Dredd overseeing mega-cities of poor people first.

We won't though, because we live in a society where the rich and powerful have gotten the masses deeply deeply committed to the idea of nonviolence as righteousness, even in the face of a literal fascist takeover.

Definitely not your hard-to-extract-oneself-from subscription-based service supporting the tech bros, for starters.

The next generation will live in even more interesting times. Let's see what they decide to do with it, how they feel about Jean Valjean.

"Yet" and "probably" are the two biggest weasel words of the AI boosters.

What will people do?

What do you think?
Bread lines, homeless, disease, MAGA wanted this. They want it so bad. They are going to get it in spades. It is already starting and there is no going back MOODY’S: Twenty-two states are either in a recession or on the precipice of a downturn.

MAGA morons have no idea what they have done.

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.

White collar workers didn’t cheer on blue collar job loss. There were/are plenty of up skilling/reskilling training with state WIOA programs. But many didn’t want to learn something new or move to a new area.

Yep and red states are going to be wastelands of disease and famine.

Maybe Trump will have ICE round up all the AI "stealing" our jobs?

Isn't it something that it's okay for AI to steal jobs but not okay for "illegals" to "steal" jobs (ones that no one wants).

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

It is correct.

MOODY’S: Twenty-two states are either in a recession or on the precipice of a downturn.

Not to mention you fool Project 2025 includes no more benefits provided by companies, no more min wage, no more injury protection on the job etc.... You never read it.

If there is truly less work for humans to do as a result of AI, the solution is for most people, even the laptop workers, to move to a 20-30 hour per week physical job. If there is less work to be done, might as well spread it out so that people can have spare time to fix their homes, care for their family, cook nutritious meals, and take care of themselves, and pursue hobbies and interests.

Eliminate employment based health insurance and replace with basic national insurance plus consumer driven model.

I fear this won’t happen though and we will just become slaves of the technocrats. Or die.

I also think this whole thing is overblown and hyped. 100 million people aren’t going to lose their jobs overnight. AI is just a tool.

Yes! That’s what we need! More uneducated people who are only capable of doing menial tasks, which are of the type that will be replaced by automation first! Great idea!

Truly, do you not see how you're being racist?

How are they being racist.

Are YOU tying "only capable of menial tasks" to a certain race

Ai will be a problem, but it will be checked by the lack of energy and rare earths.

The future will be filled with resource wars between nation states.

Firing millions of people is a Trump and MAGA party platform so AI will not be a problem for most voters.
