Preserving employment is not a meaningful goal. Jobs go away or change all the time. Between 1970 and 2010, average worker, be them blue or white collar, became 10x more productive. Do we work 3days a month for a full salary now? Ok we work just as hard but do we live better and more equally?
On free-market economy, every kind of development, every kind of change ends up screwing over working people and benefiting the wealthy. We need to work on changing the way we organize society at a more fundamental level. If it wasn’t generative model bubble it would be another bullshit bubble, it will never end unless working masses decide to take some direct action.
Nope. We’ll have massive job losses as companies pivot away from billions invested into AI. Couple that with a significant Great Recession, we’re in for very very dark times when the bubble pops.
Reduce your spending, save as much money as you can, and prepare yourself.
I’m not so sure about that. Businesses rarely drop prices when the demand that raises them abates. And a lot of people are going to get fired when the bubble pops.
Problem with the employee situation is, companies adapt to the lower cost. Later if they need more employees, they will hesitate to hire them, because it will increase cost again.

Boycotting AI and finally popping that bubble will lower RAM prices. And energy prices. And it will preserve employment…

There is no boycotting and the bubble will never pop.
Militaries and businesses are going to use AI no matter what. They will pay for it with the money we give them.
They will pay for it with the money
