Towards the end of this, Ezra Klein basically asks "AI is going to take over a lot of jobs, what do we do about that?"

And this dude (last admin) gives the most limp dick response. Stoked to see that people at the very top are clueless /s

half way through this episode. who do you think is giving the best response now re how this will work out with jobs? as a positive vision vs doom?

There's a class divide between those who are positive v doomer 

Everyone who's rich and unaffected are positive

Everyone's who isn't is doomer.

Not good! 

Also this is exhaustive and stellar and deeply disconcerting from an economic angle

I mean, I'd love links if you got them. I haven't found any. The middle class bull case for AI that I've found all seem to assume no AGI, just augmenting human capability. 

Haven't found a middle class labor economist who grapples with mass extinction of current jobs and think it's an easy enough challenge to overcome. But if you have them, please pass along! I tend to read mostly doomers lol

Is it really perfectly split on class? Many out there see AI as an opening when it comes to education and building. Things that were super expensive are no longer super expensive. 

I certainly see an attitude though, from those already rich, that it will all be great. Which I don’t buy.
