I've heard compelling arguments that we passed the "more people than jobs" threshold during the green revolution and as a civilization have collectively retrofitted UBI in the form of "fake email jobs" and endless layers of management. This also would explain https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/ pretty well.

Either AI shatters this charade, or we make up some new laws to restrain it and continue to pretend all is well.

This. I'm not terrified by total automation (In that case all jobs are going away and civilization is going to radically alter), I'm scared of selective deskilling and the field getting squeezed tighter and tighter leaving me functionally in a dead end.

I don't have any ideas whatsoever.

This thing is doing planning and ascending the task management ladder. It's not just spitting out code anymore.

Student here. Can someone give me one reason why I should continue in software engineering that isn't denial and hopium?
