[QUOTE="Scribe, post: 9087989, member: 6807152"] No? So extrapolate the situation. There is reasonable cause for concern. Its not like corporations outsourced work because they 'wanted to give a leg up to other nations.' They did it to cut costs. Its not like there isnt already automation in things such as coding. Its not like we are not seeing huge strides in generated text and art, and analysis and processing. Is it an urban legend that one of the bots now could pass law exams? We also know that automation, self managed check out, Amazon type business, is all squeezing out other jobs. We then add on the very fun inflation rate, the increase (in my country) to interest rates, and the housing crisis (try finding an apartment lol and managing it while you work your min wage job). Its not adding up well here. So if the answer isnt to just 'pull yourself up' what work are you going to be doing? Trades, for...who exactly can afford it? Funny anacdote.
