Summary

Since the explosion of the large-language model in 2022, AI has rapidly invaded just about every possible industry, from academia to film and even household appliances. Whirlpool actually sells a dishwasher with “AI Intelligent Wash”. Tesla Optimus Robots promise to change the dynamics of homemaking, manufacturing, and policing when they are released. AI is a revolution on scale with the printing press, the internet, and the television, if not all 3 combined.

While some aspects of this are positive, there is a much more worrying question underneath it all. What do you do when AI can do the jobs of most entry and mid-level employees, making the jobs of millions of Americans obsolete? Microsoft and business insider downsized just in the last week, cutting thousands of jobs that can be done by AI. If AI and robots can flip burgers, make coffee, manufacture cars, drive you to work, and do your landscaping you’ve put millions of millions of fast food workers, assembly line workers, landscapers, and taxi drivers out of a job. If you think wealthy inequality is bad now, wait until the rich have their productivity supercharged and the poor lose what little income they already had.

The rise of nationalism, wealth inequality, global conflict, and 5th-generation warfare have already pushed the Western world to the brink. What happens when AI really takes off?
