>“There will be more than enough jobs for the citizens of your nation, especially those with vocational training,” said Karp, speaking at a World Economic Forum panel in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday. “I do think these trends really do make it hard to imagine why we should have large-scale immigration unless you have a very specialized skill.”
Idk man, that sounds like a crock of nonsense. Previous waves of automation sure didn’t stop the demand for immigrant labor - if anything, it’s only increased.
“More than enough jobs”… so enough jobs for all the citizens, and then more available jobs? Am I interpreting this correctly? That sounds like a case for immigration, not against it.
The idea that vocational jobs will be it, is pretty unsettling to someone who went the office route specifically to have a job that could be done as I age. Now that I’m aging and my knee stops working if I walk too much, the idea of retraining to hang drywall sounds more ludicrous than all those “learn to code” ads people loved to get upset about. I’m hoping the realities of all of this will take long enough for me to retire. If it’s anything like FSD, it will. It been 3 years away for 12 years now.

Why did you replace the "I" in "AI" with its homoglyph "l"?
