Your Undivided Attention · Enough Debate about the AI Jobpocalypse. We Need To Plan for the Messy Middle. · 13 Aug 2026 podcast

It's what kinds of jobs are getting affected and what role did they have in the economy and what second order effects occur from them getting disrupted.

Now, I want to just head off the take here that what we're saying might be seen as classist.

Like, we didn't worry last time because it was just hitting factory workers, but now we're worried this time it's affecting our class.

And the point is, no, no, this is about caring for people in the broadest sense, but recognizing that the same kind of story that we were told in the China shock, which was, hey, we're going to outsource these jobs as manufacturing to China and globalization.

And we're going to get this world of abundance and cheap goods.

But then that actually did affect this kind of the fundamental social fabric and the kind of dignity and law and all the things that you've just talked about.

And there's another kind of parallel thing here of an AI shock.

It's just going to be bigger than the China shock.

But we're offered a similar bill of goods.

It's going to be cheap, abundant goods.

We're going to have, as Elon Musk said, not just universal basic income, but universal high income.

And at the same time, which, first of all, I don't think is actually true.

we're also going to get this mass disruption.

I just want to head off the idea that we're only concerned now because it's hitting white collar.

It's like, no, no, no.

We're concerned in general about making sure this was a transition that's going to work for everybody.

Absolutely.

So I want to get to solutions and first start with the solutions that people are talking about and proposing, especially in the AI community.

So one is we're just going to have redistribution.

Well, yes, all this wealth is going to accumulate to a handful of AI companies, but then we'll just tax the AI companies and we'll send everybody a check.
