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.

Wait until someone explains to you nikkas that this is the real reason they are deporting immigrants so you will have no choice but work those jobs once AI replaces you....

Why do we need CEO's and executives?
If AI can think logically and solve complex problems, who needs a CEO making $20M+/year when a computer could do the same job for nothing. AI doesn't need stock options, a private jet or a company's car.
They want to position themselves so that workers are scared and jumpy...but workers are cheap. High level management costs $$$$. Why pay them all that money to schmooze and sit in meetings all day?
They finna open a pandora's box.
ai can do that

Yeah basically China's social credit systemYeah, but things can always get worse.
This is just Israel. You can just go work for someone who isn't sympathetic to them. Imagine this pa.lan.tir database that's coming that can see who you donate to, what you like to read, where you like to travel, who you date, and if it doesn't align to a model citizen, imagine that they can hold your UBI payment. That's what's coming.

The big unspoken thing is despite AI's promise, the big deal is AI is the only thing driving current markets, especially Silicon Valley.
Remember 2022 when Silicon Valley was crashing culminating in early 2023 when Silicon Valley Bank collapsed nearly strangling the startup scene? OpenAI had just thrown their Hail Mary that past fall and the money went insane preventing a likely startup recession.
Also there is a religious belief in Tech and politics that AI is an existential battle that must be won against China. Asking questions is seen as opposing progress or courting defeat. A very dangerous mentality.

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Yup. At all times, I feel we're 15 years behind China socially. It'll vary, but 15 will always be the statistical mean.
Oddly enough, and I used to rail on them quite often.. I trust China over the US to usher in all of these social control programs over the US. The US is on the verge of being a white, Christian, ethno-state. Not that China isn't an ethnostate... but China is only 5% ethnic. The US is 40%.
All these #bothsiders and #bootlickers gonna quickly come to realize anyone darker than a paper bag is gonna see pre-Civil War fukkery start soon.

Man, hate to say it, but we’re only getting started.

We don’t need them. That’s the funny part. They’re as susceptible, maybe even more susceptible to A.I than some other company roles.
Once people figure out how to fund themselves or make connections and to be able to do it, CEO’s and hierarchy will fade in some areas.
Kind of like how the App Store made a lot of people rich when they learned how to code and built products themselves.
