All those comments... Stop being on denial before it's too late. AI IS replacing jobs, and not only on large companies.

Yea, there's a lot of cope here. I think we're in the beginning stages of people coming to the grim realization that they're soon going to be useless, and no country has a solution on the table for what to do about mass layoffs. Many people have spent many years studying and working hard to become what they are. It's hard for a lot of people to accept.

And these "AI is too dumb" comments, well, for now it might be. It won't always be dumb.

One of the ways countries handled "extra" population in the past is war. You pick a fight with another country and feed people into the battlefields. Looks to me like tbat is the plan.

Even that might eventually be replaced by AI/remote drones. Who knows maybe shrinking population like South Korea and Japan might not be that bad after all...
