Anyone else wondering if they make it to retirement b/c of AI?

I'm mid 40s and it has me nervous. I just don't know what the end game is. UBI sounds awful and will be terrible for society.
I'm in pretty decent shape financially but I don't have enough to bridge the gap until I can start drawing retirement funds and health care costs are a concern.
It will never happen, but someone needs to pull the plug on this shite and I say that as an avid user.

Depends on what field you’re in.
I’m 32 and a naval architect and my wife is a surgeon. I don’t see AI replacing either of our jobs before we retire.

I predict that some engineers will be replaced with AI. Companies will go full speed ahead for a few years until the f*ck ups start happening. Then theyll try to rehire the knowledgeable engineers that they fired. But I may be too late to be rehired. Only if my billing rate was $400/hr. Ive been wrong about many predictions, though. Especially SLI

I think it’s 5-10 years out before it gets really disruptive to jobs that you have to think.
If you in data entry or basic office shite then less than 3 years.

46 and not nervous at all I’ve been maxing all retirement accounts since 2004 and will be shutting it down in 5 years regardless of AI. I told my company a few weeks ago that if they pay me one years salary and my bonus I’ll walk away now.

I have to ask what kind of company do you work for where you can safely ask that kind of question?

Yeah, just wait until that robot is doing surgery way more efficient than a human could it's a lot closer than you think.

AI can walk onto a ship and do surveys, construction oversight, incline experiments, damage assessments?

Maybe for those with a job. Anyone finding themselves unemployed will require heroic measures achieving re employment much sooner.

AI can do very simple things ok.
It’s really struggling with anything that requires nuance.

I’ve been playing around with Claude for some parts of my job and it’s scary close. I still have to give it tons of prompts and make minor changes, but it’s gotten so much better even since last year. I was extremely skeptical of it being worth a shite up to this point, but it’s definitely concerning me now

AI powered tools and drones will easily be able to do this in the next decade, but you will likely be retired.
Surgery on the other hand is a different story. Even if machines can do it, which they likely will be able to in the next 30 years, getting humans to trust the machine will be the more difficult deterrent to overcome.

Not once enough early adopters prove that it has better success rates.
To the OP, I do not worry about what I cannot control. This progress is a freight train that isn’t slowing down. Adapt.

So you would give up your retirement from the company when 5 years out ?

I’m retiring early from corporate job at 50ish and going to take a year off then transition to a part time job at Publix, Home Depot, etc until full retirement age. If they are willing to pay me to leave it would just accelerate that and I would just get part time job sooner. Corporate life isn’t healthy mentally or physically. Too much stress etc. luckily I have saved enough where I don’t have to stay until 65. I work in big tech and AI will absolutely replace me within 5 to 7 years just like it will a lot of white collar employees. Too many people are in denial about this. It’s coming and sooner than people think.

It’s not the company it’s me - I have enough in 401k/Roth/HSA/Brokerage to basically shut it down now. I don’t care if they fire me tomorrow. It’s why it’s important to max all retirement vehicles then dump whatever else you can into market or other financial instruments. It no longer makes you a corporate slave. It gives you a lot of freedom.

How much do you think you need in retirement to live on?

If you asked this just 1 month ago I would have said no. I knew I’d have to adapt, but wasnt worried about losing my job. Over the last 4 weeks, things have changed.. We are 100% all in with AI where I work. Plans to reduce workforce because of AI are underway (I’m in management) and if it’s happening where I work it is happening everywhere.

Architect and a surgeon? Y’all are ripe for the replacement. AI will be able to draw some pictures with more accurate measurements than you, and robotic surgery is already making leaps and bounds with AI enhancement. Soon the AI will be doing the surgery and your wife will be supervising. Then they’ll just get rid of your wife
