This is so full of s***. AI salespeople can convince managers to fire you, but it doesn't mean that the AI will actually do the work you did. So those jobs go away temporarily and then they come back, or they go away permanently because the company fails and it's replaced by another company that actually produces things.

Or we could totally change the topic and remark that what we're seeing is that the billionaires are stealing more and more of our money. That's actually a problem with the billionaires and has little to do with current technology. And it is a real problem that could lead to society changing in various ways. I'm hoping for positive change where we tax the rich and lock up the thieving bastards. But it could also go shitty. Nobody knows.

Whatever happens, technology will continue to evolve, and the AI bubble is still a bubble. It doesn't have substance. We've heard for the last hundred years that technology is advancing more and more rapidly and that we're going to hit that magical threshold when everything magically changes. And it was always bullshit, and it always will be. Doesn't mean your job is safe, but your job was never safe. That's life.
