TIL Heracles was actually a weak soyboy because he had the strength to do the work of ten men.
Comment on Gen Z's 'overemployed' solution for a broken economy: 5 jobs and $3K per day. It's totally legal

I say enjoy it while it lasts.
If you can perform the work of five positions in the same amount of time, then you’re unnecessary and AI will fill all of those rolls in short time. Those people, unless they adapt quickly, will find themselves in low paid, high stress jobs, just verifying the work of the AI instead.

He’s a weak soyboy compared to the steam engine. John Henry is the better comparison.

AI will likely not be taking many jobs - it’s continuing to be unreliable for most circumstances.
That’s not to say all circumstances. Regardless, the industries that use it heavily will likely destroy themselves. Having people doing that work is how you prepare them to do the more difficult work that AI is even more unlikely to succeed at… so you are starving yourself of a workforce for the more important jobs in your industry. The pool of people with X years of experience will shrink to nothing, and they won’t be willing to hide newbies.
