AI and automation: posting from a poster on a different site:
"For context I work production in local news. Recently there’s been developments in AI driven systems that can do 100% of the production side of things which is, direct, audio operate, and graphic operate -all of those jobs are all now gone in one swoop. This has apparently been developed by the company Q ai.
For the last decade I’ve worked in local news and have garnered skills I thought I would be able to take with me until my retirement, now at almost 30 years old, all of those job opportunities for me are gone in an instant. The only person that’s keeping their job is my manager, who will overlook the system and do maintenance if needed. That’s 20 jobs lost and 0 gained for our station.
We were informed we are going to be the first station to implement this under our company. This means that as of now our entire production staff in our news station is being let go. Once the system is implemented and running smoothly then this system is going to be implemented nationwide (effectively eliminating tens of thousands of jobs.) There are going to be 0 new jobs built off of this AI platform.
There are people I work with in their 50’s, single, no college education, no family, and no other place to land a job once this kicks in. I have no idea what’s going to happen to them. This is it guys. This is what our future with AI looks like. This isn’t creating any new jobs this is knocking out entire industry level jobs without replacing them."

Well, NAFTA and immigration can't be blamed for taking these jobs.
Believe it or not, and most would not, but automation and "progress" coupled with greed and corruption are the big driving forces behind the exponential growth of the income gap in the USA. Humans are rapidly losing skills to build and repair by hand and brain and to think critically and to communicate personally. Project 2025 is designed to do more of this. If Trump's appointments are all confirmed, the country is screwed for our lifetime.
Wonder what happens when the satellites fail, the power grids collapse and most of the farmers stop growing food and grow Weed? Sounds like a novel, doesn't it. Maybe I'll get AI to write it?
