And this is where we go full speed, and if anybody voices concern there is 'think about children!' for 'em or just laugh them off as luddites. If you ever wanted to move social layers, yesterday was too late.

But imagine the control - how desperate folks will be for some pocket money if half of population is unemployable. So much control! So many cheap gardeners / sex slaves to choose from! You would have to work outside openai / anthropic to refuse that, for sure you will be one of few on top of the pile, not some trash within it right.

Time to rewatch V for Vendetta and Gattaca.

Yes I think it will just be a race to the bottom, however there are several distinct classes of work immune to the concept of AI:

1. Where the market will pay for the privilege or 'quality' of a human (you pay more for a nurse, nanny, server etc., its a status symbol)

2. Where human accountability is required by law, even if that human is just following the recommendations of AI (C-suite, human-in-the-loop safety monitoring)

3. Where personal ownership exists, AI can only serve your small business it cannot own anything
