Blackpill in the romantic/sexual/genetic determinism sense.
I suppose also in the demographic sense muttmerica is already 50+% non-white among gen Z, and there's seemingly no end to the spics coming in. Europe seems to have some pushback, but yeah it's probably over there too.
About the economy it's been going pretty shit for a long time. Constant inflation with wages not improving, shit working conditions, etc. I'm talking about America here so I'm not sure how it is for you guys. Our wages are a lot better though you guys have better working conditions so it's a mixed bag.
Anyway. About AI. For the first few years it's going to be a situation where not all jobs are replaced but a portion of them are. It's started off already to be like 10-20% in some fields, I guess in some it'll get to a point where what would formerly be a team would just be one supervisor. And AI.
Which is pretty shit yeah. I don't know as much about the economy or economics. I doubt we will have a full on societal collapse. Maybe things like UBI will roll around, they have to right?
It's interesting you bring up Japan as an example, I think that's where we're headed. More and more people drop out of the job market and live relatively isolated NEET-ish lives. It's already more common among younger generations.
I guess it sounds shit for other people. I'm fairly chill. I have rich parents and a fairly safe career path, for now at least.
The difference for me will be between a stingy (early) retirement and a lavish one. Can always move to a cheaper country regardless. I know I sound like a huge bragposter saying this, but it's true. Just saying I have less reason to be depressed about it.
The problem I guess if there's some large scale societal collapse and if everything loses value. But well, what can you do?
Also, about AI "taking over all jobs", I don't think people will be really "replaced". What I know for sure will happen in some years:
>company A has product X that needs to be delivered in 12 months
>company A hires 10 developers to work on product X
>company A delivers the product X ready after the 12 months
>company B has product Y that needs to be delivered in 12 months
>company B sees that company A took 12 months and 10 developers to deliver a similar product
>company B hires only 5 developers who use AI (chatGPT, copilot, claude etc)
>company B also delivers the product Y after 12 months
See what happened? Now you need less people to perform the same tasks. If the demand keeps the same, the trending is to have less jobs.
I don't think that the future will be a fucking GPT being pr00mpted ad infinitum until some product comes out from the LLM. I think people using AI will basically have a productivity peak compared to those who don't use. This way we will need less and less people to do the same jobs.
The good scenario would be if economy kept improving and we had more demand, what seems impossible due to how economy works nowadays.
