AI: What it Means for Future Jobs?
I wonder how many people have gotten over Biden’s inflation now faced with the inability to pay for food and housing. This is front and center and on everyone’s mind. When recently asked about his campaign promises to improve people’s lives and reduce the high cost of living,Trump pointed to two things: (1) the current stock market result and (2) the enormously high use of credit cards by working people to argue his economy is kicking.
When one looks deeper into both 55% of Americans polled say they cannot provide basic necessities such as feeding themselves or paying their housing costs or more recently gasoline for their automobile so they can go to work. Americans are simply using their credit cards to stay afloat. This lasts only as long as financial institutions allow them to get further into debt. This therefore shows just the opposite of a good economy. Looking still deeper into the market results, AI stocks and other related stocks are carrying almost the entire stock market.
Stephen Hawkins was famously quoted with “Success in creating AI could be the biggest event in the history of our civilization,” but he went on to say “but it could also be the last – unless we learn how to avoid the risks. Alongside the benefits AI will also bring dangers like powerful autonomous weapons or new ways for the few to oppress the many”.
History is replete with people always ignoring powerful warnings when huge sums of money are involved. People that should know better turn a blind eye when their money is at risk. It’s absolutely incredulous looking back that Elon Musk signed the same letter in 2017 that Stephen Hawkins signed warning us about the heavy risks of AI and Musk explained that people could introduce AI to autos before properly vetting it for safety and wouldn’t you know he was right and quite a few of the people that bought his Tessler cars lost their lives when their cars crashed unexpectedly. He betrayed his own warning, and it was reported in the news that Musk and Biden had a falling out over when his Tessler cars created great liability for him that Biden refused to help him with it.
Does anyone question whether AI will cause massive job loss? The super wealthy have always believed that they themselves can be the economy. City Group Worldwide sent a report approximately 80 pages in length to its best customers in October of 2005, tagged the plutonomy reportsexplicitly stating that not since 1929 has the separation of wealth been so great, allegedly disproving it had anything to do with the Great Depression. I obtained it back then and read and studied its findings. The economic imbalance started it back then and protectionist tariffs allowed it to brew the next four years and get far worse. We are a consumer-oriented economy and if the great consumers are left without money the corporations that built their power on that buying power will collapse. It’s that simple.
Pete Hegseth sunk a boat that departed from Venezuela allegedly carrying drugs after our military disabled it. Trump defended the action arguing it was carrying drugs. In fact, that was the whole rationale for invading Venezuela. The date of that incident was September 1, 2025, and was reported in the news on September 2nd. If he was so concerned about drugs entering this country, why did he pardon former president Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years in prison for some of the most egregious drug trafficking. That killed so many Americans kids, and he pardoned him exactly 90 days after he defended the military sinking a disabled boat, in effect murdering them, on the basis they posed great danger to our kids by bringing drugs into this country. To me, this is compelling evidence that there is no chance we will responsibly regulate AI when all of our national policy is over protecting the billionaire class over whatever illegal activity they choose to do to make a fortune or whatever wars they start for our national defense. History makes a compelling statement that MAD (mutually assured destruction ) made us more responsible with nukes than we are protecting the economy and AI would invariably lead to the end of civilization as Stephen Hawkins continued to warn about until his death.
As for me, I see far more dangers in store for us with AI than benefits from it and the best protection from it is to compete with it. People are being seduced by the benefits. In the end AI is all about promoting greed for the billionaire class. It’s how the very few can excite us about helping them ruin our lives. It will be used by the very few to dominate over the many as Hawkins also warned us about. Think about that the next time you spend an hour trying to navigate an AI menu solely to get information before buying. Spend a little more and buy local. Boycott the billionaire who doesn’t respect you enough, or your business to have their employees speak with you. There will always be a market for catering to their customers. People want to feel that their business is appreciated. If enough resistance keeps an alternate economy alive there’s a slight chance that we just may slow things down enough that we learn to act responsibly before it eliminates mankind itself as Hawkins spent the final years warning us about.
