  1. There will be three career options in the post-AI world: healthcare to care for the ever-aging population, blue collar trades to keep things working, and military or para-military to keep people compliant. White collar tech jobs will be extinct for all but the executives

    1. I was a network engineer (now retired). I kept waiting for something like AI to come along and take away the 40% of my job that was routine analysis and log monitoring. It never did for me. As it was I always had a to do list 200 items deep and it never shrank. The things that got done were the ones that had the biggest payback. But 20 or 30% of my job was the hands on physical infrastructure and I’d like to see AI replace that. I don’t think your prediction is going to be that accurate.
