If LLMs truly cause widespread replacement of labor, you’re screwed just as much as anyone else. If we hit say 40% unemployment do you think people will care you own your home or not? Do you think people will care you have currency or not? The best case outcome will be universal income and a pseudo utopia where everyone does ok. The “bad” scenario is widespread war.

I am one of the “haves” and am not looking forward to the instability this may bring. Literally no one should.

these people always forget capitalism is permitted to exist by consent of the people

if there's 40% unemployment it won't continue to exist, regardless of what the TV/tiktok/chatgpt says

Well he also thinks $10.00 in LLM tokens is equivalent to a $1mm labor budget. These are the same people who were grifting during the NFTs days, claiming they were the future of art.
