Some people like to whittle wood. It’s no longer a career choice with strong prospects.

As for: ” In some countries, more than 90% of the population lives on less than $5 per day.”

Well, with the orders of magnitude difference already in place, this is not going to meaningfully impact that at all.

Im not dismissing this: I’m saying that it isn’t much of a building block in thinking about all of the things AI is going to change and should be addressed as a result because it’s simply in the pile of problems labeled “was here before, will be here after”.

And really, it ought to be thought of in the context of “can we leverage AI to help address this problem in ways we cannot do so now?”
