If your idea of a job is to sit pretty in meetings, agree on increasing synergies, then go write an email or fill out a form or something, yeah they will be gone.
Anything that requires you to think in constraints, orchestration and optimization should survive in one form or another. It always does.
I'm convinced the real threat is a good quality robot arm that costs $2,000 and is trainable in one single day by a regular person with an app on their phone.
I think that will drive down labor costs and make millions of people unemployed.

This so much.
In Italy I pay:
- 12.5 % of interest on government bonds
- 26 % of interest on stocks capital gains
- 21 % of taxes on the income I get by renting my real estate
- 37 %+ of taxes on my labor
- up to 57 % of taxes as a self-employed business
If this isn't rigged against productive working and beneficial for passive owning I don't know what is.
Of course numbers change across the world, but I have yet to see that many countries were this is inverted.
I'm well off financially and eventually, I'm less and less dependent on my work to live, but if this isn't a scam towards the general working population, then I don't know what is.

As long as there is high demand for it. AI will reduce that current demand.
That’s a bet and remains to be seen.
