The highest unemployment rate during the great depression was 24%. The knockon effects of almost 12% of the ecconomy losing work will make that pale in comparison. But hey, this 12% is probably just at the beginning. After all, AI is the worst it will ever be.

This seems like a recipe for guillotines or UBI. Wonder wich the rich will choose?

Edir: was he the first of many?

    Wow, AI replacing over 10% of the workforce? Talk about a game changer! I hope they’re planning for the potential unemployment crisis that could come from this.
