    I was listening to an interview today where they brought up the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (NAFTA). People were working these manufacturing jobs they hate and the idea was. NAFTA would make things cheaper for Americans which it did. The downside was it took away many more high paying jobs for the middle class.

    AI is like a second version of this law. It’s going to take away tons of jobs in the name of increased productivity with a reduced focus on safety.

    People talk about illegal immigrants taking jobs away but they should be way more concerned with AI. The profits from all AIs saved labor that saved labor will go into the pockets of a few mega corporations. What incentive do those companies have to provide spread the wealth around and improve the lives of those suffering from AI? It’s deeper than just one country. There is income other countries rely on that will stop flowing and they will feel the deep impact as well.
