We're just talking about going to a strip mall in Minneapolis and sitting in a debt collection office and threatening poor people.

Someone needs to go to a debt collection office in Minneapolis and threaten poor people and call them and tell them that they have to make a minimum payment.

They have to.

Do it on the phone right now.

Do it on the phone right now.

That has to still be a job.

That has to still be a job.

Telemarketing call centers have to still be a job.

People have to be able to walk into buildings, pick up a phone, call other people in this country, elderly people, drunk people, confused people, and swindle them out of retirement.

It's literally our entire economy.

I don't know what you think is going to happen when you get rid of that.

Somebody's got to be able to sit there with a fucking five-hour energy and a lead sheet that looks like this of names, and they got to call all of those people, and they got to try to get them to take a reverse mortgage out on their house.

If you destroy white-collar work, you're going to have all of these people in the street.

Maybe algorithm-driven changes will happen slowly, giving workers plenty of time to adjust.

Maybe white-collar types have 12 to 18 months left.

Maybe the AI-related job carnage will be contained to a sliver of the economy.

Maybe we should be more worried about a stock market bubble than an AI-driven labor revolution.

I don't think anyone knows what will happen or even what is happening now.

AI technology is changing at an exponential pace and changing the workforce in a thousand hard-to-parse ways.

And the people that are making the AI, the people that are really enthused about this stuff, are very happy to see the entire world destroyed.
