Consider the fact that we are not having noteworthy, media-covered congressional hearings on this. We're not debating ways to protect jobs or tax policy debates. This train is just marching towards an end point while nobody does anything. And if there is movement it's stunningly pro-AI. Few days ago a (republican) senator managed to get bipartisan support to remove Ted Cruz's AI language from the Trump spending bill which proclaimed that individual states cannot regulate AI for ten years. Ten fukking years. Thankfully it was removed but my god...the fact that we even came close to that type of nonsense is INSANE.

I've already stated I don't think AI will have a major impact on white collar jobs in the near future. And I stand by that. I also think human roles will shift into spaces that AI can't replicate like working directly with clients, auditing, etc. But at some point we're going to have to grapple with large groups of educated people having to change jobs. What happens? How does that impact taxes and housing and all the other things.
