Even if AI managed to replace 10% of the American workforce, that's still 16,000,000 people out of work.

Yes

And?

No they'd be out of their current job. Not out of work entirely.

something like 90% of jobs that existed 100 years ago don't exist today. who gives a fuck, happens again and again

>>60618047
and our economy is 100% reliant on consooomer spending. eventually AI will create so much unemployment the economy will be fucked.

Bro my regional grocery store chain was open til 4 fucking am when I was a teenager, there's plenty of dog shit employment possibilities on the horizon

They can just deliver food.
0 tip food doesn't get delivered, if they lay off engineers and lawyers they can deliver that food.

Out of decades of career building, with devastating consequences for wealth and health. Their lives are over. All they worked for is gone.

>>60618140
30% at most comes from non-essential middle class spending. And the wealth is simply transferred upwards. This is sustainable. Just a little stock market bump.

Yeah, it's nothing bro, who cares. All my elite buddies agree.

This is unironically the sentiment of big tech. "Destabilizing technology with longterm negative economic consequences? As long as the line goes up!"

It's going to replace them and create new jobs you fucking retard
Also prices for goods will be forced down so the cost of living is lower.

Economic illiterates shouldn't be allowed to vote.
Public education has turned everyone into retards

Cry about it.
Humanity isn't going to stagnate just so you can have a "job"

>>60618032 (OP)
Good.......

>>60618032 (OP)
Yes, but that framing ignores two key realities: job transformation and net economic benefit. Every major technological shift—industrialization, computing, the internet—displaced millions, but they also created far more jobs than they destroyed. AI is no different. It won’t just eliminate roles; it will redefine them and spawn entirely new industries. The real issue isn’t the number displaced—it’s how fast we adapt through retraining, policy, and redistribution.

This is not about humanity anymore. You can't just build superhuman intelligence and expect to persist.

>>60618717
Also notice how the poster tries to individualize the problem. D&C.
