Totally agree. I've been hit be a total existential crisis.

Also i definitely don't believe in any benevolence of the elite, UBI or other romantic ideas.

I see poverty on the horizon for 99% of tech and white collar workers on the horizon.

The startup i'm involved in, and my side projects are all pretty easily done by AI's in few years, and i seriously doubt most people here are doing anything that won't be easily replaced sooner than we think.

It seems my friends doing carpenting, nursing, therapy or hell even theater are all going to be better off soon - it's a total inversion of the worth of labour.

Exactly, and I don't think we can all claim blindness.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.
