Qualification: No, seriously, it’s just awful. I’m starting to worry that I’ll end up homeless or working in low-paying jobs like mining, if, of course, such jobs still exist and aren’t taken by other people. Maybe I should move to a more or less decent village, where at least I’ll have the opportunity to grow my own food and get water from a well? But I saw that life in the villages is very hard, and I’m not ready to work from morning until late at night without days off. The year 2027 scares me a lot.

In a world where people have nothing to lose, the people in power will need to be afraid. Seriously, if we end up in a situation where we have mass unemployment with no safety net because of AI, billionaires and politicians will be hanging from lampposts.

Individually, I don’t know. Collectively, socialist revolution. Workers in socialist states aren’t nearly as anxious about AI as workers in capitalist ones.

The logical, humanitarian solution is universal basic income (UBI).

Let’s start working dodgy finance jobs. Faking stuff that ai is doing. Faking income etc in unregulated areas.

being existentially afraid of new tech instead of excited for the possibilities is a terribly capitalist problem to have.

Okay ai, someone locked themselves out of their apartment. Solve. Okay ai, here’s this flat tyre on my bike. Solve. Okay ai, I have a leak in my kitchen. Solve. In short, I’m not too afraid :)

There is no way to know what paths will be left available once LLM integration starts to prove effective or in what roles. History shows very clearly that the powerful do not care if the peasantry suffers and dies because of the changes they force on the world. They care primarily, and often exclusively, for their own ambitions.

Revolution against the oligarchs. Become member of a party, trade union, whatever. Direct action. Every measure counts!
