If AI replaces my job specifically, get a different job.

If AI replaces all jobs, I'll mostly wonder how rich people will survive without being able to make billions selling things to poor people, and then realize that capitalism isn't going to stop so jobs will be necessary. Everyone having a jobs is literally how society funnels money around. Jobs aren't going away.

The post-AGI world doesn't depend on people buying stuff.
