Ah I see your point, and I agree. We've seen how it plays out in places where greedy entrepreneurs brought waves of immigrants to do sub-minimal-wages work and what effects it had on the society, so I agree about the consequences. However, at least for LLMs, the progress slowed down considerably so we're now at the place where they are a useful extension of a toolkit and not a replacement. Will it change dramatically in 20 years? Possibly, but that's enough time to give people a chance to adapt. (With a huge disclaimer: if history taught me anything, it is that all predictions are as useful as a coin toss.) |

Yeah, but for that, politicians need to prepare as well, and they don't. All that many of today's politicians care about is about getting reelected or at the very least lining their pockets. In Germany, we call this "nach uns die Sintflut" [1], roughly translated to "after us, the floods may come".
Here in Germany, we at least have set up programs to phase out coal over decades, but that was for a few hundred thousand workers - not even close to the scale that's looming over us with AI.
