It’s worth raising an eyebrow at this just because it affects many of us personally, but when one is honest they realize tech is not a very “dangerous class”. Not like … lawyers https://www.niskanencenter.org/are-we-overproducing-elites-and-instability/

I’d prefer an excess of lawyers to a tightly controlled group. While the extremes grow with the size of the group, it becomes more difficult to force a rapid shift in legal theory. So I would baselessly argue a large legal class increases stability of the rule of law. But AI kinda circumvents that; if the layman depends on AI then in a scenario where AI is centralized and manipulated it could easily have the opposite effect.

I think the hypothesis goes like The layman will depend on AI (side effects unknown) and the lawyers will be up to their eyeballs in law school debt with no job, at which point respect for the rule of law may diminish

AI will definitely collapse the legal field. I can’t pretend to know what that will look like. But a large pool of unemployed lawyers, who have a voice and depth of knowledge still seems better than a small pool of the same. From the standpoint of stability in a declining democracy, at least.

But why would these lawyers (or any other rube told to pursue an expensive white collar job path with no jobs) be content to be saddled with this debt and working at McDonald’s instead of the job they trained for? I think about how angry I already am and I’m not even directly affected like that and that’s why I agree with Turchin

They shouldn’t be content. They should use their expertise to attack the system that put them in debt, and destroy it. Which would be a net gain for society. Fuck student loans. Side note: They’d still have degrees so they wouldn’t be stuck at McDonalds. They’d be stuck wherever the hell liberal arts majors go, or working in contracts at companies.

I believe soon there will be nowhere for them to go except the factory. This is why we are being steered into recession/depression as well. Whether or not people will be content with that we shall see
