Is there anyone in the US gov talking seriously about what to do about mass job automation?

The “augments” claim already doesn’t hold up for entry level jobs, and is likely to not hold up for all jobs the closer we get to ASI.

History repeating. I'm more confident every day that the USA is going to become very violent soon. 😕

I was just reading her sub this morning and thought about casting exactly this passage. It’s incredibly worrying that the automation trend is asymmetrically hitting entry-level jobs the hardest — it can lead to a whole generation of disenfranchisement, and these are people who’ll stay on the sidelines if they can’t acquire the initial skills to get past a set of basic capabilities that can be automated

If every new AI just augments workers and makes them much more productive, unless demand increases at the same or higher rate than productivity, then you need fewer employees. Seems like a lot of CEOs are out there lying about basic math.
