We have been preparing people for the day when an AI is able to do your job for at least 5 years now. Now that it's starting to happen, people are freaking out. People don't listen to warnings.

What were they supposed to do though? It's not as though anyone was suggesting solutions, other than UBI, and regular people don't have any say about implementing that anyway.

Keep up with impending technologies to stay relvent and advocate for stronger social systems so jobs aren't strictly needed to live.

Trying to stop this tech from taking over is a waste of time. A better use of time is to try to fix actual systematic issues which are the root cause of the panic.

Yeah I agree but I'm just cynical about how much influence we can have over policy.

I am too TBH. Especially if you consider how only the wealthy have political influence and popular opinion essentially has no influence. That said, I do think it's important that it becomes a subject. No one will do anything if they are unaware.
