> All the low paid, physically laborious work is not affected by AI, so there will be plenty of work, especially with aging populations around the world.

Low paid physically labourorious work has been increasingly automated since the wheel started helping potters.

The history of computers often ends up referencing Jacquard looms because it used punched cards.

LLMs have been demonstrated controlling various robots.

AI's coming for all jobs, it's just a question of which jobs cease first.

Physically laborious work is an increasing problem as you age though.

Historically that's more a question about community. Its a very recent phenomenon to have cultures where parents and grandparents are expected to take care of themselves or live in a home/facility.

Living in an elderly home may be impossible, too[1], meaning at best you can stay at the hospital until you die (which doctors are eager to achieve), at least in Hungary.

There is a sad, depressing world out there. One of my parents work at an elderly home, and the shit that happens there is just wild. Zero responsibility and accountability. Deliberate killing of people out of pure inconvenience, etc.

I am in favor of a "social support network".

[1] Requires money, e.g. pension, which is increasingly less, and they keep increasing the age.

Oh yes, I've heard my fair share of horror stories from elderly homes. I would like to say I'm glad they exist for those who have no other option, but even in the most expensive places I've personally seen its just no way to live in my opinion.

I agree, and it is terrifying that I may be paralyzed due to my chronic illness and end up rotting away on a hospital bed with nurses and doctors perceiving me as an inconvenience.

I wish euthanasia was legal here.
