Want to laugh and cry because it's true... lol. Rich fuckers who own a ton of stock are the most safe I think. Whether or not AI can do your job is a very different question than whether or not you might be laid off under the belief it can. ....or if this AI bubble bursts violently there will be a lot of pain to go around.

I have an acquaintance who is one of those annoying people who is super-smart (physicist at JPL) and super-savvy financially, to the tune of being quite comfortably retired in his 50's. (He also has the social skills of a speed bump, so ... he didn't blackout his bingo card ....)

He told me almost four years ago that the AI bubble burst is going to make the 2000 dot-com bust look like a toddler's tea party. He was already seeing that the technology is not only an insanely expensive dead end, but that it is almost certainly doomed to get dumber rather than smarter unless someone radically reinvents the underlying thinking and economics.

I have degrees in econ and computer science and agree with your friend... the tech just flat lacks the potential right now to do what the business side wants it to do.... this is a disaster waiting to happen. Not if, but when.

This was frustrating to read because it's so accurate. So much of MAGA makes me think of this article from years ago:

Yes, the Alt-Right Are Just a Bunch of Racists

The so-called "alt-right" are just white supremacists with delusions of being intellectual.

thefederalist.com

The alt-right originated by looking at the left’s caricature of the right as racists and pro-white tribalists and saying, in effect: sure, we’ll be that.

So long as it triggers the libtards....

I've just finished reading Black Pill: How I Witnessed the Darkest Corners of the Internet Come to Life, Poison Society, and Capture American Politics -- she is very interesting on how the alt-right started mostly as memes on 4-chan and 8-chan.

He hasn't published anything on the Federalist in years, so I suspect he retired for one reason or another. He's said some dumb shit too but was probably too reasonable for the right wing hellscape.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."
