“i’m blue collar so my job is safe from AI” that’s true and i’m happy for you. if you think everyone else getting laid off won’t effect ur line of work either ur a dumbass. there’s no truly “AI proof” job. u can’t segregate the economy like that.

tbh they’re not even safe, only for the next few years maybe. major companies exploring robotics and embodied artificial intelligence aren’t solely doing it for the militarization and weaponization of AI, but also for preparation/training in order to eventually replace the blue collar workforce as well.

I give it 5 years tbh, a decade max, but that’s beyond optimistic at the current rate of development

this is true, the field of robotics has been displacing people long before AI got involved

ahh shit I didn’t even think about prior to the boom in AI dev, that’s a great point. I can’t even imagine the true extent that the synergy of these two fields will look like, aside from fictional representations in media (which, yk, fictional lol)
