There is nothing to do. Accept it when it comes, protest for Ubi. It is inevitable and out of our hands. All of your hard work in life was for nothing. Accept it.

There won't be new jobs. We will mostly be staying at home chilling

I wouldn't underestimate people's ability to invent fake jobs.

There will be some but I doubt a ton of these unless it gives fulfillment. It likely won't be $-based.

I think jobs will always exist as long as humans are capable of doing anything better or cheaper than a machine.

Until we get to the point where we have robotic wives and children, there will always be jobs.

There will be people paying for things they wouldn't have paid for previously, just imagine telling people in the year 1990 that you're going to build a career out of playing videogames with an audience.

There will also be free products that weren't previously free - there were paid web browsers. Imagine telling people in the year 1990 that you're going to let the world play every videogame you make for free.

This is not an attainable career in the slightest. Only sub-1% of streamers make any serious money and only a percentage of those make a lot of money(Like Shroud, DrDisrespect, etc).

You'd probably have a better chance of becoming a pro-basketball player than a successful twitch streamer.

I dunno about fake jobs, but I think hobbies will be the closest to anything resembling a job in 15-20 years. I mean certain fields will still exist but I think they will be more for people who want to work with AI/robotics whatever as they complete their tasks. “I personally would love to have a AI therapist job”. No I’m not a therapist now I actually help autistic individuals live normal lives but I would be ever so excited to help improve relationships and connections between man and machine.

This is so fucking negative. We're all gonna die one day, so should we all just abandon our endeavors because of that?

This is a strange opinion. Cars and all kinds of animals can move faster than any human being. Does that mean the hard work athletes put in to be the best version of themselves is for nothing?

History has shown us that when new technology emerges, activities and skills we previously used for survival often shift into different areas. With the advent of AGI, maybe many tasks and jobs could become automated, but this doesn't invalidate the hard work and achievements of individuals up to this point.

Instead, it should serve as an opportunity for us to adapt and evolve, focusing on the aspects of our lives that cannot be easily replicated by artificial intelligence – creativity, empathy, and personal growth. I believe we should embrace change and use it as a catalyst for further development, rather than seeing it as a reason to dismiss the value of our past efforts.
