Do people not aggressively prepare for this all the time? If you're being paid $150k a year, you should live like you're getting paid 75k a year and save the rest or use it to purchase some security for the future, like a years supply of pantry foods, or pay down your mortgage if you have one. I have a full-time job and two part time jobs, not because I need the part time jobs but because I'm watching the tech industry dissolve like tissues paper and I'm "holding my spot" in 2 unrelated industries.

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

What happens when AI develops its own programming language that no one understands and knows how to maintain, or how to fix things?
What happens when AI takes control of all the algorithms and sows discontent amongst us all with deep fakes and no one knows who or what is real any more?
This is the real AI apocalypse that I'm scared of.
I am waiting to see when AI decides that CEOs are actually redundant by-products of nepotism
ai can really only be used in non-critical things, as in, when people try to use it for anything remotely important it fails before deployment
