Snip ...

"BIGGEST CHANGE in MODERN HISTORY," he declared in an X post earlier this year. "AI will cause many 'smart students' to lose their jobs. AI will cause massive unemployment. Many still have student loan debt."

Kiyosaki isn't alone in his take. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic - the AI company behind the large language model Claude - recently warned that AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs and push the unemployment rate as high as 20% (1).

Tech mogul Elon Musk also weighed in on the topic at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in November (2).

Musk suggested that work will become "optional" in the future as AI continues to develop. His more optimistic take includes more time for leisure and, possibly, money becoming less and less important.

"...money becoming less and less important" says the world's wealthiest individual.

Not AI. Corporate greed and incompetence.

There was a piece the other day that Wall Street looks more favorably on "replacing workers with AI" than "laying off workers because business is down."

Same thing happened with Return To Work.

Companies looking to get rid of people knew they could achieve backdoor layoffs simply by requiring people to return to the office.

I'm just hoping to make it to 62 before AI takes my job. Assuming of course there is still Social Security when I'm 62.

Everyday the Trump administration further turns America into a failed nation.

Republicans are elated.

Ever elated to be a busy freelancer in an industry that's never relied on profits.

And I'm very happy to have escaped the health insurance marketplace last year. Optimizing my Medicare coverage now: one specialty per quarter, whether I need it or not. Preventative.

"Everyday the Trump administration further turns America into a failed nation."

Failed nation? Failed nation is what Biden did when he let millions and millions of brown and black people in, to steal our American Dream from us.

And speaking of Musk ...

Grok 'n' Roll, by HARRY SHEARER:

The AP reports that Elon Musk's Grok AI is facing a backlash from governments around the world after a recent surge in sexualized images of women and children generated without consent.

I asked Grok to create some sexualized images...
