    This isn’t just ChatGPT vs. HR. It’s a system where automation replaces human labor at every level — from hiring to production.

    I’ve just published an episode on how AI, robotics, and exponential change aren’t just transforming jobs — but possibly the entire future of the economy.

    We’re in a transitional phase. The next few years are crucial.

    So if you’re asking ‘Will AI take your job?’, the deeper question is: What happens when the economy no longer needs people?

      Seems oversimplified and hyperbolic. The economy will always need people because people are the demand. And because markets are largely unpredictable, supply relies on people making strategic decisions. That will never change. Not everything can be quantified, collected, analyzed, and automated

        You say the economy will always need people because they are the demand. But who buys AI systems? Other companies. Who buys weapons? Governments. Who buys logistics automation? Corporations.

        The demand isn’t from people. It’s from systems that want to eliminate people.

        This isn’t hyperbole. It’s the trend.

        We published an episode on this — not to claim we have all the answers, but to show it’s more complex than ‘people will always be needed’.

        If you’ve listened and still disagree, I’d love to hear your counterpoints. Maybe the real oversimplification is believing we already know how this story ends — before the data is even in.

      These are interesting thoughts you are voicing but your usage of em-dashes is highly suspicious, Mr./Mrs. Robot.

      /s I like these dashes myself as someone who has some sort of education in typography

      What happens when the economy no longer needs people?

      The automated genocide of the working class. Duh.
