    I remember telling people about UBI and the coming automation and the possibility of AI coming for a lot of jobs. I’ve been saying this kind of thing since early to mid-00s, if not the 90s. People looked at me like I was crazy, for the most part.

    It’s not like I’m all that prescient or brilliant or anything…I just happen to read.

    Even now, when it’s very obviously eating into jobs, there are lots of people still mostly following celebrity gossip and doing fantasy football picks or whatever and still seemingly oblivious…

      Yup.

      It’s always “No one could have predicted this.”
