Heard a podcast with some dude talking to Jeff Booth about what will happen when AI takes over a ton of jobs and unemployment goes to 25% and beyond.

The dude talked about how bad it would be because men need something to do, and not having a job would be hard.

Well, first of all, it's about finding meaning in life, not about having a 9-5 job.

Jeff talked about how a doctor who looses his job but who has invested in Bitcoin would go the way of trust fund kids, and do philanthropy.

My husband pointed out, if you wanna know what people would do when they don't need to have a 9-5, just look at Nostr! There are tons of people here figuring out how to live meaningful lives, and add value to themselves and others!

Most people used to be farmers, but equipment took over a big chunk of that, and people found other things to do.

Sure, there's a transition period from someone who only knows farming to someone who's amazing at computers, but change constantly happens, and we humans evolve and innovate!

Life is not stagnant.

So, no, I'm not worried that AI might take a bunch of jobs, rather, I look forward to seeing what new things will come as people are set free from the industrial slave system of fiat and 9-5's. 😎

Well said!

Excellent!🙏🏻💖🫂🔥👍😁

All correct! Even if I don't think that with AI people will be freed from fiat slavery! In fact, they will depend even more on subsidies. Then there will be those who will transform into his passions, that's right! But AI won't get us out of slavery. It will make us enter more and more into the matrix

That is where Bitcoin comes in. But yes, people in the system will use the system until it fails as it will. Those of us who leave the system now will show the potential for the others, but it's always a choise.

This is spot on. It seems to me this is an issue of where most of us are finding identity and meaning. From my.limited knowledge, I think Augustine is pointing toward this in City of God where he talks about the idea of self love vs. loving God. From that perspective finding identity in a job would fall under self love. Business so would finding your identiy and meaning in a small farm, big family, etc...

A radiologist for example will be capable of analyzing many more images, more quickly, and more accurately than they can now. Maybe then, they'll have more face time with their patients?

AI doesn't necessarily need to "kill" jobs; it can just make them better. 😏

Nuclear doesn't necessarily need to "kill" people; but some financial reason, ideology, leaders choice is not always a wise choice.

Maybe you misunderstood. A radiologist is a doctor who captures & analyses medical images. Medical x-rays are generally safe.

I think we don’t have to worry about people who had the mental capacity to fight through law or med school to be unable to find meaning in life.

The problem will arise in people who already play xbox 4+ hours a day, don’t go on dates and order uber eats, what if 10%, 20% or more will lose their jobs within the next 5-10years.

What will society look like with those just dragging on everybody else?

Those people will always be around, but on a bitcoin standard I think they'll have to figure something out. A ton of people are playing games and putting them on the internet and making money already, so that's one option.

Personally I think things will get better as a whole. If parents are less stressed and home more, kids will be seen more, if dads are around instead of the government paying single moms, kids will grow up knowing themselves better, as fathers instill identity, and it will help people find what's meaningful to them, rather than needing to get a job they hate simply to survive, leading them further into fantasy as they escape into video games for the rest of the day.

As more families stay together, the more enticing starting a family will seem, and as feminism dies, and men start to get celebrated as men, (and women as women), they'll be more incentivized to go on dates and start their own families.

I’m fairly optimistic myself regarding my own perspective.

And I think I just watched the podcast, with George Gammon, you were talking about.

To clarify, are you talking about a bitcoin standard and also universal basic income or how would all these people be able to live such noble and stressful free lives?

Especially when even physical labor will diminish in 15y or so?

Not talking about personally stacking sats but a general view of society

If AI takes away all of these paper pushing jobs and dudes have free time to focus on things that AI can't do, physical stuff, or more higher conscious stuff, I don't see this as a problem I see it as liberating

yaaass

Wow. I wrote a post last night, and it kinda blew up.

I just got a 5225 sat zap from Jack Dorsey (unless it was a bot)

The best word I could think of to describe how I'm currently feeling is awestruck.

I agree with this 100%.

The Luddites were reacting against textile machinery.

I'm sure scribes reacted against the printing press.

And so on.

So my amazing wife wrote a post that brought together the ideas of Bitcoin and AI, perhaps, and what people will do when they no longer need to work because of AI putting them out of a job and Bitcoin giving them generational wealth in some sense.

Then her post blew up and got zapped hard! Well done babe!

Her post is worth reading.

Totally agree!!

🫡 very optimistic as well.

The problem is the nocoiners who get their jobs earased thru AI and ever dependant upon the gov. Either UBI or some sort of subsidy that makes them completely reliant on this welfare will be easy to submit and support any gov tyranny, turning on what they see as the greedy rich who did things right

Last night someone found this post I made a while ago.

I got a new comment on it today, and I agree.

There will basically be 3 kinds of people during this transition period as AI takes over another section of jobs.

The complainers, the dependents, and the creators.

I believe a lot of us who have already joined Bitcoin will be in the 3rd category. We're the ones who will shape the future and where the world will go.

We already have hope, we already innovate, we already know how to find meaning beyond a 9 to 5.
