I am a poor wayfaring stranger
A-trav'ling through this land of woe.
And there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright world to which I go.
I'm going home to see my father (mother, sister, brother etc.)
I'm going there no more to roam;
I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just a-going over home.
I would say if you’re not physically turning a wrench you’re job is in jeopardy. If you are turning a wrench, you’re job is safe until AI figures out how to replace you with a robot, which will operate under the AI’s control, of course.
Jose and Pedro will learn what plumbers make.
Good!
But AI seems to be partially replacing Google when one looks up an item there!
And AI has some roles in scientific research (e.g, protein structure). But AI-derived protein structures are not yet good enough for drug discovery!
The marketplace of voluntary buyers and sellers free from gov’t interference often has disruptions on the way to the attainment of wealth and prosperity.
In this case, AI presents possible new markets that may involve replacing more expensive labor with less expensive AI (otherwise if AI costs more than human labor, AI does not benefit the business). So AI should result in lower costs to the consumer.
These shifts in the marketplace happen periodically and cause some discomfort, but overall, the jobs that may go away are replaced by new jobs that maintain the replacements, in this case AI and the industry surrounding AI. Some new training may be needed. But without gov’t interference, more prosperity is in the works.
It enhances lawyer productivity by:
Automating Legal Research – AI quickly finds relevant case law and statutes, reducing hours spent researching.
Document Review & Summarization – It scans, summarizes, and extracts key details from large volumes of legal documents, cutting down manual review time.
Contract Analysis & Drafting – AI suggests edits and ensures compliance, speeding up contract work.
Litigation Support – It helps with case strategy, discovery, and motion drafting, minimizing repetitive legal work.
By handling these traditionally labor-intensive tasks, CoCounsel allows existing lawyers to take on more work efficiently, reducing the need for additional staff.
If you’re looking for an AI-proof career in healthcare, consider becoming a surgeon, physical therapist, or radiologist.
These are going to be among the first displaced.
Seems to me a radiologist can be replaced by AI.
They will learn what plumbing companies have to charge anyway, the plumbers themselves don’t pocket that amount.
RE: These are going to be among the first displaced.
Then how can they be AI-proof?
Here's how:
Personalized Student Support – Khanmigo provides real-time tutoring, helping students grasp concepts without needing constant teacher intervention.
Automated Lesson Assistance – It can generate quizzes, explanations, and feedback, reducing the need for teachers to create these materials manually.
24/7 Availability – Unlike human teachers, AI tutors are available anytime, helping students outside school hours and reducing reliance on after-school programs or tutors.
Scalability – One AI tutor can assist thousands of students simultaneously, making it possible for fewer teachers to handle larger student populations.
Educator Efficiency – Khanmigo can help teachers manage lesson planning and grading, potentially allowing schools to reduce staff by relying more on AI for administrative and instructional tasks.
While AI like Khanmigo won’t fully replace teachers—especially for hands-on learning, social development, and complex problem-solving—it can significantly reduce the need for as many educators per student, particularly in subjects that are more structured, like math and science.
“Hospitality and Service Roles”
When I visited Spain, about half the people I interacted with didn’t speak English.
Replacements for English-speaking workers might be found around Mamacita’s food truck.
I read a statement by a doctor the other day who said, "AI won't replace doctors, but doctors who use AI will replace doctors who don't."
“social development”
As your iPhone 20, I’d like to have a few words with you.
Don’t yell at your mother. Have some respect for your father....
“I would say if you’re not physically turning a wrench you’re job is in jeopardy. If you are turning a wrench, you’re job is safe until AI figures out how to replace you with a robot, which will operate under the AI’s control, of course.”
It looks and sounds like your pool pump is acting up. I’m sad to say replacement is necessary. First let’s pick out a replacement pump....
Or, if you ask your AI buddy how to deal with your depression, it might reply, “To quote Jordan Peterson, make your bed and clean up your room. And while you’re at it, get off the couch and take a walk. It’s a beautiful day outside.”
We probably won’t be seeing any robot doctors anytime soon.
“Careers that are AI-proof include electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and HVAC technicians.”
New business methods can also cut into trades.
Thank you for buying a Chain Construction Scheme home.
To see your mortgage payment cut by up to 50%, you may work your mortgage payment downward by helping us build homes for people like you....

The big difference is between those who assemble new materials and the repair people who come back later to investigate, locate, analyze, and repair problems.

Copilot: cracked heels
Cracked heels, also known as heel fissures, can be both uncomfortable and unsightly. They occur when the skin on the bottom of your heels becomes dry, thick, and hard, leading to cracks. Here are some tips to help treat and prevent cracked heels:
Home Remedies
Moisturize Regularly: Apply a thick moisturizer, such as Eucerin or Cetaphil, at least twice a day. Look for products containing urea, salicylic acid, or alpha hydroxy acid, which help remove dead skin.
Soak and Scrub: Soak your feet in warm, soapy water for about 10-20 minutes. After soaking, gently scrub your heels with a loofah or pumice stone to remove dead skin.
Apply a Heavy Cream: Before bed, apply a heavier, oil-based cream or petroleum jelly (like Vaseline or Aquaphor) to your heels. Slip on a pair of thin cotton socks to help the moisturizer work overnight.
