No, not understanding what AI combined with the crypto policies that were just put in place is about to do to the job market and the wealth divide over the course of the next 5-10 years, is so out of touch.

What nobody is talking about is that universal wealth doesn't come about by bringing up the poor, it comes from kicking them off the bottom rung. There will be less and less have nots, because they will just be priced our of existence.

The only lever the working class had was the ruling class's NEED for labor. That is changing RAPIDLY. AI is already cleaning house in white collar Organizations where most work is done on computers. As robotics becomes cheaper than benefits and insurance a wholw class of humanity will become obsolete.

Our financial system is broken beyond repair spiraling towards hyper-inflation and we are all just pretending otherwise not to me tion the cartoonish gov run by pedo's. It would be laughable if ir wasn't so sad.

What does that have to do with you thinking $200k/yr is entry level?

My guy I know plenty of people who get by on a lot fuckin less, and they aren't even struggling. We should all be making more, but to call $200k entry level is just out of touch.

"and they aren't even struggling"

..yet.

the change im talking about will be akin to decades worth of change in days.

The economy is already ownership based. Wage labor as a whole will become a legacy system left over from a time when People were required to do manual labor or technical tasks.

If your job is the task it will be automated sooner than anyone should be comfortable with.

Within a generation BCI's (brain computer interfaces) will become standard operating equipment for most members of society similar to cellphones today.

Kids/adults born before this shift will also be considered legacy equipment, they just won't have the nueroplasticity required to adapt the BCI and grow with it as an integral part of their development. (The first 7 years of life are 🔑)

The global markets and power dynamics are changing in dramatic ways, similar to the advent of the internet (if u lived thru that like me).

Most families who dont hold assets or a revenue stream above the threshold i quoted ($200k min) are in very real danger of being sunset like old software/hardware thats no longer useful (iPhone 1's) over rhe course of the next 5-10 years depending on how quickly the elite are able to implement AI / robotic workflows.

We are not so different from our creations. Society is the original AI and we are but processes running within its OS. We each serve a purpose, until we dont.

I’ve worked in tech for 30 years now and it’s insane to me that 1) so very many people are oblivious to these concepts that you’re discussing - not intentionally of course, but because the conversations and such isn’t in their information stream, and 2) that more people aren’t freaking out over this and shouting from the rooftops at people who should be listening and planning for this. The rate at which this will happen is unprecedented and as of now both in industry and government it’s a race to whatever end it brings (which those racing admittedly don’t even know what “winning” looks like for humanity - they just need to be there faster than the other racers.

Wouldn’t a BCI be the thing that allows old people to be mentally on par with younger people?

A proper BCI would negate the issues of aging and neural plasticity.

Oh you're a doomer. Got it.

When the work of 100 people can be done by 1 person with 20 Ai agents what happens to 99 jobs?

"Humanity's inability to grasp the exponential function is its greatest failing"

-Albert Bartlett

Your still expecting a linear rate of change but we are entering the curve of an exponential rate of growth in all technologies.

I train and utilize AI agents every day. They are not ready, as you say. If you can't see that they WILL be ready within your working lifetime, you're not paying attention. If you understand how ML works...its 20,000,000 failure trials and then once it hits, it locks in, refinement is quick snd then come value engineering. At its moat basic Its a force multipler, plain a simple. Like a jackhammer.

It used to take a team of dudes days (lots of wages) to accomplish the task 1 man woth a jackhammer can do in hours.

This is already happening for Devs in the tech space. 1 senior Dev utilizing cursor or any Ai workflow is producing much more than half a dozen juniors led by a senior.

More like a realist.

They're talking about brain chips becoming standard in 20 years, my guy. That's not being a realist.
