[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

This is precisely the thing in tech.  People have been shrugging for years.  They're just white collar jobs, you have nothing to whine about.

The thing is the labor bubble they created lead to this.  We had no reason as a society to move this fast, but people kept shrugging their shoulders. 'But tech workers are well paid."  In IT, I have little option but to automate people's jobs I am totally exposed to AI and immigration.  But Frankly I have no problem pulling the trigger on these systems.  You would be surprised how many routine administrative jobs there are, maybe they won't completely automate jobs, but it's highly likely they'll be able to do the same thing with a fraction of people.[/quote]
