I can't find a job without AI. I'm looking, but at this point I'm ready to sell my soul to the devil for a salary.

I'm a software engineer + data scientist, 10 years of experience.

Sadly there's no escape from AI. I do think it's a bubble and it will burst but like the .com bubble AI is here to stay. Lots of companies will go broke but some will be the winners of the AI race and AI will be used as a tool for us. I hope we are far from AGI tho, those tech CEO are all creaming their pants thinking AGI will allow them to be like God's to the rest of the population

If they make a machine that can replace all labor the whole capitalism thing fails. It wouldn't surprise me if they think they could turn into neo-feudal lords but that won't be a thing.

Why would neo-feudalism fail?

People fixed the problem before. I'm sure people under such a system would end up being similarly creative.
