This makes some good points about Jevons Paradox / induced demand and how AI becoming just another tool does not necessarily mean catastrophic job losses, but the note it ends on is pretty rough (and something I tend to agree on): “our ability to relate, sensitively and deeply, to other human beings will be a central and valuable skill. That, I fear, is the exact skill we are breaking down in the young.” https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/03/opinion/ai-jobs-unemployment-silicon-valley.html?unlocked_article_code=1.f1A.odMI.H2pktmXD_rim

    @jschauma We're in a downward spiral of layoffs funding datacenters to drive stocks up. Meanwhile, LLMs do students' homework and tech companies no longer hire junior devs. When we're overrun by model collapse and technical debt, we won't have anybody to dig us out: AI job apocalypse.
