I honestly believe there will be a shift in the "workforce" in the coming years and most who got laid off will try something on their own. There are some "offline" jobs and business who would potentially get more mainstream.

The narrative, "yes, you'll lose your, but on the upside you'll be a CEO making $$$ from all your AI productivity" is not a serious take and not something anyone with a job should be promoting.
This is BS being pushed by execs at corporates who want to say that they'll be firing people because of AI, but also want to make it sound like it's an opportunity for those being made unemployed.

Nothing is being promoted here. Many will likely lose their job and AI could give you plenty of productivity tools. We've seen this before in history.
I totally understand that losing your job and income is super stressful. Especially with the inflation in the last few years (an God knows how many more in front of us). I am just not buying the "doomer mentality". There are always opportunities.
