Great post today by Ben Thompson on the changes coming in the future, even as AI replaces some jobs:

All of that could very well be replaced by AI, but the point is that the history of humans is the continual creation of new jobs to be done — jobs that couldn’t have been conceived of before they were obvious, and which pay dramatically more than whatever baseline existed before technological change.

There will always be something to do. And humans will always seek out art and writing and anything crafted by humans, because we feel a connection with it.

@manton I find it distressing that so much of this discourse occurs without reference to history and anthropology. Presumably, talk of human nature or the human condition without reference to historical and cultural contingencies is missing out on a lot of important human experiences.

@markstoneman It’s true most of what I see is from tech writers. I think there’s gotta be some discussion out there from anthropologists.
