Don't you remember, a few years back, an infamous comment made by someone on HN stating that "if you're fired from your job, you've failed as a person"? It was thankfully downvoted to hell, but it goes to show you your perception of jobs and job loss is not at all widely shared.

So, how about responding to a point I made in this thread, today, instead of a post made by "someone on HN a few years back?"

That post seems to have gotten your goat, and I can understand that, but I did not say (and would not have said) anything like it... and I don't, in fact, remember it.

Even if nobody wanted to live without a job, until we reach some sort of post-scarcity utopia, the current AI trend is a threat.

We can't reach post-scarcity without AI. If we could have, we would have. It's technology -- and only technology -- that is even giving us the luxury to think and talk about post-scarcity.
