It’s been happening too. The real apocalypse right around the corner isn’t climate change IMO, it’s jobs. What happens when 30-50% of people can’t work, not because of an economic downturn, but because there literally aren’t that many jobs to be had?

That doesn't make it untrue. It just means technology development hasn't reached far enough yet. There is also maintenance cost vs human cost, and whether that's cheaper depends on the employer.

You are also assuming the displaced worker finds an equivalent paying job. In reality, many people are forced into a lower paying position due to automation.

Actually, I read a book in the late 90s by the founder of the cart project at Stanford, where he said by 2018 it would be hard to tell whether you were communicating with a person or computer . This is probably true if you are talking about some of top AI today.

Also, I'll likely be retired by 2025, so good luck suckers.

Check out this website. It's a future timeline that goes to 2029. It's pretty interesting.
