USA has 1.5 million truck driving jobs, 3 million cashier jobs, 1.5 million book keeping jobs, 2 million administrative assistants, etc.

If you consider AI taking half of those jobs over the next 50 years or something which seems almost inevitable its pretty clear AI is lined up to cause a pretty big shift in employment. It's really just a question of how quickly.

Meanwhile, people are worried about tech companies laying off 5k-20k people and 'dismantling the industry'... AI will make these numbers look like rounding errors.

But those will happen to "the poors". Media doesn't care about them. They care about rich people and people with high-paying jobs.
