Sorry Peter. — I'm at a birthday party, and while most people here also work in tech, there's always a Guy with a Real Job. You know, a physical job, building some or other thing people need. And this Guy always asks some variant of the same question: aren't you worried AI is taking your job? I glance around and see a few faces turning around toward us, rolling their eyes ever so slightly before returning to their previous conversation. Yes, this question again.
It’s weird that the mass layoffs are happening during the bubble inflation this time now. That “techno-feudalism” idea really seems like where the world is heading. Doesn’t matter if the products and services work or not, they still make money from the irrational stock market hype, lock-in and rent extraction, and governments.
