> AI-first strategies aren't just failing individual companies—they're creating systematic corporate regret on an unprecedented scale. 55% of companies that replaced humans with AI now admit they made wrong decisions about those layoffs.

The real problems is that companies will just learn not to be so blatant about it. The replacement will happen more strategically, over a longer term, with promises about AI-augmentation rather than replacement. But over a longer period of time, jobs openings will go down nonetheless, and over decades, we will see the same thing until it will be still quite hard to get a new job. And I don't think UBI is a good answer either, because too many people are not self-directed enough to be happy without expending effort towards meaningful goals of obtaining necessities.
