SS. Over 60% of US Jobs will be lost to AI over the next 10 years. For reference the most common job in the US is truck driver. There are more truck drivers than nurses, plumbers, or software engineers. We have cars that can drive themselves TODAY. In our lifetimes over half of the country will lose their job, and there will be no work for them to move to. So what happens next? Some of you think we're getting a UBI (Universal Basic Income) I'm less optimistic about the ruling class sharing their wealth. So what's your plan over the next 10 years?

Guns, ammo and prayers
They wiped out my old job, and last I heard, company was still laying off. My final day after 15 years was in March. Did find a new job in June, but with a slight pay cut and not as good benefits.
I feel they may be wrong. 10 years? Id say we have 5 years or less.
AI ain’t gonna be slanging drugs. Push come to shove I know what I’ll be doing.
“So what’s your plan over the next 10 years?”
I’ve been really hoping on 3i/atlas being a permanent solution
They. Took. Our. JERBS
I’m a truck driver. It’s among the safest jobs NOT taken by AI.
Fuckin joke to think AI will drive 80,000 pound hazardous materials tankers lol.
I have 3 different streams if income 2 of which aren’t likely replaceable. I dont think nurses, doctors, police etc will be replaced because people tend to want to have face to face communication. We also have huge shortages in these areas so increased use of AI would actually benefit the Healthcare system as a hole.
I suspect repair based trades like plumbing, handyman work etc will be fine. But fear most industrial and new home construction will be automated within 2 decades. Truck drivers, allot of accountants, financial planners, lawyers etc are likely screwed.
ChatGPT told the government this?! Lol. What a pump and dump scam of epic proportions
If there is nobody who can afford to consume things, then the wealthy lose their wealth
“Faster than* expected”
The conservative attitude on welfare assistance is about to change quite a bit.. lol
It’s not just truck drivers and less prestigious jobs. Companies like Lexus Nexus and Westlaw are training AI to take over for lawyers.
