Fuck, this shit is gonna be gettin real really quick. The thing that throws people off is that they don't realize how this snowballs. Everything is so interconnected; Xerox lays off 3k peeps, some of those peeps stop paying their rent, their landlord becomes insolvent, stops paying the mortgage, the bank starts going into the red from too much of this, etc., the layoffs stop going to the coffee shop on the way to work, they cancel their subscriptions to everything frivolous, etc., the SMB vendors that Xerox was using to service the needs of the 3k peeps and their jobs, and those companies lay off staff. Repeat this over 3k companies, and all shit goes from smooth to rough seas in a matter of months.
Yeah, the Trump narrative is shaping up to be so obvious and gay. Speaking of the AI part though, I read your other AI post. I agree it's fake and gay from a "they already took our jobs" standpoint, but from a "the terminator is coming" standpoint, AI is a serious threat, IMHO. It's not that it'll take over on its own; it's that teams of smart people will be using it (already are) it to control everyone so well that it's impossible to stop them.
If you had a system that could recognize a face at 2000 feet away and take a 100% accurate sniper shot, you'd be hard to beat. That's where AI is headed, both metaphorically and literally.
