Re:AWS doesn’t know who I am

I feel like this doesn't consider the massive upside to IAM roles as identities. Once a user is a top-level concept, there will be things that only users can do. When everything is a role, an action can be taken by a user or an autonomous system in the exact same way.
I don't think this was an accident. Internally, Amazon traditionally had very different methods for authenticating and authorizing users versus systems, and it was a massive pain. Switching to IAM roles relieved some massive pain-points.
Re:Ask HN: Company paid for green card, I quit, now they want 7,000?

It's highly likely. The issue is that she probably signed a contract stating that the green card would be paid off at the end of the year/2 years/some period of time. Similarly to a signing bonus, you have to pay it back if you don't fulfill the terms.
In the future I'd advise your friend to read over any contracts, and ask about anything you don't understand. Reading it over with a lawyer may also be beneficial. Your friend is in an unfortunate situation, but at this point it's probably too late to fix.
Re:Is AI really pushing people into the unemployment lines?

Yes. AI (and computing in general) is removing jobs from the market by making work more efficient. For a long time, this has been compensated for by making additional work necessary for modern life, but that can't continue for ever.
Interestingly, in the 1900s this was the goal of industrialization. The idea was that everyone would benefit from this improved machinery, and we would all be living lives of luxury and working 10 hours a week by now. Our focus on everybody wanting/needing a job is a relatively modern philosophy. (circa 1940 WW2, AFAIR)
As far as future AI developments go, I can't see the future. But just to comment on lawyers in specifics, a lawyer these days can handle more than triple the cases now than they could even 15 years ago thanks to existing tools and we don't have 3x the number of lawsuits. These jobs are already disappearing.
I don't have any answers, so I'd encourage you to explore this space now that you've identified this dissonance in yourself. And if you figure out any solutions, let me know!
