Most jobs are bullshit.

You've given a lot of example of how people express their lack of enthusiasm, but can you give as many examples of how AI will change things?

I also get frustrated by people who don't realize that we're on the cusp of something utterly transformative. But the truth is, I don't actually understand how our world will change and what that will look like. I know my current job as a content designer will go away. I know that ghost writers, copywriters, and all the other jobs I've had will vanish.

But I don't know what will come in their place.

I feel like I did at the start of the internet. Back then I know something big was happening, but I had no idea that I'd be looking up directions on a phone that i held in my hand. I didn't know I'd be ordering dinner from a laptop and watching movies streamed to my TV. I just knew that big things were coming and nothing would be the same.

Anything (bad) could happen!

My claim was that they don’t monitor and then threaten their families back home. If you honestly believe there’s any kind of parity between what the OP is about and the way the US monitors it’s citizens abroad and threatens them then I don’t know what to tell you.

Well, I guess in light of Obama’s drone war, Chinese surveillance and oppression of its citizens throughout the world is perfectly acceptable.

Are you really comparing what the Chinese government does to their citizens abroad to what the US does? Absurd.

They don’t monitor Americans overseas and threaten their families back home though.
