The real news is that someone was being paid $80/hr for something that even ChatGPT can do. I thought people pay peanuts for mindless content marketing.

- Sakos 4y agoThe vast majority of jobs are fairly trivial at its core. How many jobs out there are a combination of esoteric domain knowledge, experience and changing numbers in a spreadsheet? The real news is how callous people are being about the very real threat of many people losing their jobs and it not being clear what new career they can find that is capable of maintaining their quality of life. Companies are driving salaries into the ground wherever and whenever they can. There might be new jobs, but in the face of rising inflation and ridiculous housing costs, will they be enough to stave off the rise of a new serfdom class?

The vast majority of jobs don’t pay $80/hr. > There might be new jobs, but in the face of rising inflation and ridiculous housing costs, will they be enough to stave off the rise of a new serfdom class? Those problems need solutions regardless of ChatGPT. If new technological unemployment will push powers that be to fix them… well, that would confirm an adage that every cloud has a silver lining.

Just look at France recently. Or Iran. We're seeing a shift of power away from the people that will mirror much of our history before WW1/2.
