We exist inside of capitalism - particularly late-stage deeply unregulated capitalism.
You are always very close to losing the ability to pay your rent or buy food not because your identity is being threatened but because a bunch of people who don’t care about you and only care about making money will happily lay you off without a second thought if they think it will make the even richer people above them happy.
And they will do this whether there is an AI boom or not.
