    Agreed, but…

    AI is promising to do a massive shift and quicker than many previous events, including at the uppet end of the payscale.

    This bothers me, because this has the connotation of “this time it’s important because it impacts me”.

    Automations against low level jobs were just as quick, they just may not have impacted the people you knew.

      Why should “this bothers me” matter? It’s a fucking logical argument. You either understand it or you don’t. Your fucking FEELINGS have nothing to do with anything.

      Doesn’t have to bother you. People experience material changes first and foremost, which means they have to be affected by them. We’re in this context, have much more information about the pace and impact since it’s hapoening to us as we speak, in a high information environment where we hear our bosses talk in no uncertain terms about it. I don’t know if its effect would be worse than deindustrialization. I don’t personally put the previous events as less important, but I won’t blame impacted people who do.
