Something I think should be on the same level as "if buying isn't owning piracy isn't theft" is something like "if an ai/robot can take my job why should I have to work"

why should I have to work

Because landlords would like to keep their wealth extraction going.

In theory we could get solar panels and batteries for power, some cheap robots for growing food, but all land is owned.

As we roll out more generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done

we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce

Are we done for?

Amazon boss tells staff AI means their jobs are at risk in coming years

Andrew Jassy tells white collar workers that such technology means fewer people will be needed for some jobs

Between AI and Robotics, we will likely have a permanently unemployed segment of close to 50%, or even more, within the next decade.

Not everyone will be able to be retrained to be a robotics engineer or AI programmer, and many, many jobs that are considered entry-level will disappear. Imagine a world where most fast food and retail workers are unemployed.

When 40% of America is unemployed, the government will be faced with 2 options - Universal Basic Income, or reducing the population by 40%. Which solution will each party embrace, and how will they accomplish their objectives?

Conclusions from a reductionist point of view. Circumstances, problems and solutions are generally complicated.

Moving on.

Time for the AI teams to suddenly have tech issues.

"Sorry, the whole codebase is just gone! We have no idea what happened!"

"Must have been the S3 storage"

Stupid question but what is stopping the software engineers to poison the well?

Insert malicious code, self destructing functions, have entire batches of code lost or corrupted, hardware damaged, etc?
