America Isn't Ready for What AI Will Do to Jobs
- EricBetts 8mo ago> code—really code, not just copy-paste from Stack Overflow—with the precision of a top engineer. Having seen the mistakes it still makes in my industry, I can't take as factual the other claims the article makes about what AI does.

- SilverElfin 8mo agoI generally agree with the article. We can debate timing, but whether it is 1 year away or 10 years away, a major rise in employment is not something America is prepared for. No politicians even talk about this threat seriously, let alone come up with solutions for it. But in a world of higher automation and reduced need for labor, the only practical solution is to redistribute wealth and power in the country. Otherwise, those who enter this new era with wealth or power will be in a permanent ruling class while others suffer.

- helloplanets 8mo agoCould you explain more thoroughly? What points to the article being generated with AI?
- pjmlp 8mo agoThis is the new fake news, now everything that doesn't go well is AI generated.
- aurareturn 8mo agoThe worst is people who use AI to generate articles about how AI is in a bubble. This guy for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46985948 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46985948

OpenAI Is in Trouble https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2025/12/openai-losing-ai-wars/685201/ https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2025/12/openai-losing... AI will crash. OpenAI is in trouble. But also, AI is going to be so good that America isn't ready for AI at work. I keep seeing the same pattern in these mainstream news outlets. They'll write about how there is an AI bubble and it's about to collapse. AI hallucinates too much to be useful. OpenAI is a scam. There is too much debt to build AI. AI isn't intelligent. AI isn't all the smart. When a new breakthrough happens, it becomes AI is about to take most jobs. AI is becoming god-like. AI needs to be stopped.
- FloorEgg 8mo agoIt's because they optimize for attention over truth.
- citrin_ru 8mo agoOne doesn’t exclude another - stock market will crush even harder if AI will bee too smart - high unemployment will cause demand drop across the board so AI companies will loose most paying customers and will have no chances to recoup investments (even if the chain is long, economy as a whole depends on people paying for goods and services).
- aurareturn 8mo agoAI becomes so good that it renders mass unemployment won't crash the stock market. The stock market does not care if everyone is employed. It only cares if the companies are making more profit.
- citrin_ru 8mo agoAnd there will no profit because there will be no customers.
- dkobia 8mo agoAI Slop or not, these doomer articles have more than a grain of truth and you as a knowledge worker knows “Something is happening”.
