my dad maintained the floors at wtc before the towers collapsed
the other day he walked into a costco and saw a robot doing a job heโd done for 35 years
taxi cabs and delivery drivers are being replaced by autonomous robots at an accelerated rate
working class/uneducated americans donโt stand a chance

i understand the PoV that AI-related job losses are really just leaning out fat from what has been effectively corporate-administered welfare
but also, take a moment to consider what happens when you eliminate that en masse, increase productivity simultaneously, and reassign all of that existing and new economic benefit to capital-owners instead of people trying to make ends meet
the result will be an even worse distribution of wealth and more societal unrest
