how to survive in an era where AI partially replaces even manual professions? (lemmy.world)

Qualification:

No, seriously, it's just awful. I'm starting to worry that I'll end up homeless or working in low-paying jobs like mining, if, of course, such jobs still exist and aren't taken by other people. Maybe I should move to a more or less decent village, where at least I'll have the opportunity to grow my own food and get water from a well?

But I saw that life in the villages is very hard, and I'm not ready to work from morning until late at night without days off.

The year 2027 scares me a lot.

In a world where people have nothing to lose, the people in power will need to be afraid.

Seriously, if we end up in a situation where we have mass unemployment with no safety net because of AI, billionaires and politicians will be hanging from lampposts.

They just wont let it get that bad. Make sure people can afford a netflix subscription and some shitty junk food each day and there will be no revolution.
