“AI is going to cause a white collar job bloodbath in next 5-7 years. The ensuing recession will be blamed on Trump immigration and tariff policies.”

Yup. I know some retired construction guys like me that make a killing as a handyman. A lot of people don’t know what to do if a light bulb burns out.

It is a tool people like my son will use correctly. He does coding and AI allows him to be creative without bogging down in the mundane.

Right. The manual labor, skilled jobs that AI can’t do, but that must be done. Most of the nitwits with the worthless degrees will be on welfare or homeless within a decade, I’m betting.

I guess my trade of infantry/electrician/instrumentation is safe. I don’t do any of that anymore, but it’ll be ok for a bit anyways.
