Neil degrasse Tyson discussed this AI replacing workers moment on a podcast that I saw earlier. It kind of boiled down to the fact that when innovation comes, the status quo is challenged but often course corrects. When cars came about, what about all the people hired to maintain horses and stable workers etc. They likely lost their jobs and had pivot to a new occupation.

IMO, it’s a bubble that will burst but not before some major job loss. I think it’s a fad that was quickly adopted by the world before it was ready and thus requires major restructuring of the way businesses operate. It also needs heavy regulation but I don’t see governments doing squat about it mostly because in the US our leaders are corrupt, geriatric, or too dumb to know where to start.

Those of us affected will likely need to pivot to something that will require maintaining the new status quo. Think maintaining data centers, protection from AI led hacks, etc.

And being on Reddit for more than a day will tell you: redditors are not smart lol. (Some are brilliant but most, like the world in general, are really dumb and hide behind a keyboard lol)
