AI isn’t just coming for entry-level workers. Google CEO Sundar Pichai says no job, not even his own, is safe. But those who don’t adapt will be the first to fall.
Not necessarily morons, although many are, just sociopaths. They are so rich and powerful and removed from normal society, they don’t have to care.
They don’t have to work hard, they don’t have to think critically, they don’t have to compromise, they don’t have to worry.
It’s like the monarchs and aristocracy of old, so far removed from society, most things we consider virtues are considered insulting to them.
Remember when Bill Gates “worked” for a few hours at a Dairy Queen scooping ice cream? It’s a demonstration of elitism, they can choose to play working class for an afternoon, like an outfit they try on.
Oh how quaint, the little workers going about their day scooping ice cream and making fries! Mummy, I want to try to be an ice cream worker today!
Them having to adapt due to a job loss looks very different than what it is for the median American. If every American had an unlimited, worry-free safety net to support them while they navigate employment disruptions, you wouldn’t be hearing the guillotine noises you hear today. In fact you’d be able to realize some form of “creative destruction” and working conditions would drasticaly improve since people would actually afford to quit bad jobs.
