Jobs? There are LOTS of back office jobs that are going to be redundant pretty darn quick.

Lots of those “career” people filling a seat are going to be got gone.

I wonder if UBI is on the horizon.
Too many out of work won’t go well.

Yep. A lot of "tech" people who thought their jobs were safe as blue-collar jobs were replaced by robots are going to be in for a surprise.

Much like the 1980s, when white collar manual data-entry work as replaced by computers.

This happened in the 80's when mainframe computers and the IBM PC suddenly made hordes of middle managers who were paid to sit around and "know stuff" redundant. Fortunately, at that time the computing revolution opened up many new jobs to compensate.

I don't see AI adding to employment in a similar way, though it might open up new options for smarter people to monetize their abilities.
