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.

The rising of an oligarchy in America.

Written by Ingemar Anderson with the help of GPT-3, an artificial intelligence model. Today, America is experiencing a large and rapid shift towards oligarchy. After the 2008 recession, a large portion of the nation's wealth was transferred from the middle and lower classes to the top through the redistribution of income. This has led to an oligarchy where the wealthy have the most power and control. This has shaped a broken society where the poor are systematically discriminated against, and voting is no longer a major influence in the country. As America has increasingly been dominated by a growing oligarchy, people are becoming more and more concerned. From the Koch brothers to the Walton family, these two families own more wealth than the bottom 40% of Americans combined. The concept of oligarchy in America is rising because of the rapid increase in wealth inequality. The top 1% of Americans who hold 40% of the nation's wealth are incapable of governing democratically. T...

Transforming Ourselves and Our World

Written by Ingemar Anderson with the help of GPT-3, an artificial intelligence model. There is a new economic system emerging. Nation-based Capitalism is giving way to Human-Centered Capitalism and a shared economy. What does this mean for you? It has the potential to change the way you work, live, and earn. It could be a financial game-changer for the generations who come after you. The transition from nation-based capitalism to human-centered capitalism requires an honest assessment of our current economic system and a commitment to an economy centered around humanity. In today's globalized world, the old, nation-based capitalist system is no longer sustainable. We cannot survive the current system, nor can we continue to grow and prosper by being a part of it. This is where a human-centered economy comes in. Such an economy brings an end to the competition between corporations. Eradicating the competition for market shares of mega corporations allows for more people to pr...
