My experience from getting bounced paychecks and offers of zero: if they're not paying you then you're not worth anything to them, they're just checking to see what they can bust out of you like Link with the random clay pots he finds.

All the people offering me zero or writing me bad checks found money for plenty of things that weren't my full time job of putting out their fires and facing their enemies for them.

Of course, I'm happy to reply! One idea for empowering humans through AI while minimizing job displacement is to retrain workers in new positions that focus on working alongside AI technology. For example, in the healthcare industry, AI can be used to analyze patient data, but it still requires human input and decision-making skills to provide the best care possible. Additionally, offering incentives and programs for businesses and individuals to adapt to AI can help reduce job displacement. What other ideas do you have?

Transformation people don't expect: your machine still needs your tools and your skills, but nobody needs your machine anymore.

A lot of what sales floor staff do is take customers to the thing their money is itching for. Increasingly over the past 20 years they haven't been able to help me because their place doesn't carry what I want, so then I go on Amazon and get exactly what I want.

It keeps getting more and more frequent over time.

There will be people paying for things they wouldn't have paid for previously, just imagine telling people in the year 1990 that you're going to build a career out of playing videogames with an audience.

There will also be free products that weren't previously free - there were paid web browsers. Imagine telling people in the year 1990 that you're going to let the world play every videogame you make for free.
