Fears over AI job losses abound. New data tells a different story.

8. I believe you're correct.

This is obvious to me at least. That (big) money is afraid. Afraid of instability caused primarily by climate change - crop loss, etc. Big money is actually terrified and trying to get ahead of the game by having a total information state. That is the only way they can maintain control of the corrupt rent seeking economy and crony favoritism that has made them fabulously rich and impoverished a good number of us. It's about surveillance and any other supplied rationale is bullshit. Wait until the midwest has multiple successive years of crop failure. The sad thing is, the merely affluent who see what is going on and are likely to fall in line because they don't want to lose what they have. I hope they don't succeed.
