By 2030, AI will wipe out 29% of all U.S. jobs, only creating 13%



The Rate of Change


You should be alarmed. Ever since technological evolution started, the rate of improvement has been exponential. For example, Moore’s Law originated around 1970 and states that processor speeds or overall processing power for computers will double every two years. That is exponential growth, and it was proven correct for the past decades—even though the speed of processor improvement has slowed down somewhat in recent years due to technological limitations of materials used to make processors, growth on average is exponential over a longer time.

Past technological improvements have taken many jobs, and many new job categories have been created. People were able to adapt, relearn new skills, and find new employment in areas that technology could not replace yet.

But what if the rate of technological improvements surpasses the maximum speed of how fast people can change their careers? This moment in time has silently started three decades ago. Since 1990, productivity has increased by 70 percent, whereas salaries and wages only increased by 20 percent. This trend is accelerating. Today, many truck drivers will soon lose their jobs to self-driving semis, and taxi drivers are losing their jobs to robotaxis. I predict a violent revolt against the new technology will end with the machines’ victory and another jump in productivity progress. Progress always prefers less expensive and more efficient solutions.

Ten Rules of Financial Sophistication

"I don’t want a nation of thinkers. I want a nation of workers."   —John D. Rockefeller Written by Ingemar Anderson with the help of  GPT-3, an  artificial intelligence model. I have developed ten rules to remind myself to stick to my investment strategy. Of course, the list is not complete, but it is a start. Please feel free to add your own rules at the end of this chapter that you feel should be used to manage any of the five asset classes money, securities, commodities, real estate, and businesses.   1. Never buy an asset above market price This first rule seems to be an obvious statement. However, I have seen too many times that investors end up paying too much for an asset. I do intensive research before I buy, I do my due diligence and always try to understand the seller to get a better deal. Paying cash will always be an incentive for the seller to sell quicker. 2. Focus on assets that create income By following only these first two rules, buying primarily as...
