alt Hacker NewsLike mostly all tech, AI is destined to get cheaper with time. We're still pretty early on and are experiencing a hardware crunch, which will ease eventually.
AI doesn't have workers rights, doesn't burn out, doesn't get sick, can be instantly onboarded, etc. The second we can be fully replaced with AI, we will be. Plan accordingly. I'm pursuing FIRE and considering moving into a trade.

I feel like trades will be impacted too. No reason robots can't do much of it cheaper and faster. They're even 3D printing houses.
If AI would be that cheap and good, why not open a company and leverage it for yourself?
You forget that once all lose their job will all go into trade. Means there will 1000x more people to compete with into trades, which means race to the fucking bottom and lowest salaries if you can even find job. Good for real estate owners, cheap repairs. But probably won’t get any rent paid because people can’t find jobs.

Doesn't matter what plans you make, the impact will be across everyone!
Moving into a trade won't help, because the supply is doubling while the demand is lowering. Fewer people with money to spend; they'll fix their own damn toilets if the decision comes down to "buy food" or "hire plumber".
