As software developer I am not scared that A.I will take away our jobs. What I am scared is that at that point A.I good enough to do most jobs out there.
All it really needs to do is replace large chunk of the service industry to wreck massive havock in our society.
If enshitification isn't stopped, the job market could devolve to the point everyone that isn't an "elite" will be living in a medival-like society and the only way to get food is by using a barter system to trade with other destitute poor people. The second hyperinflation hits, the rich and the poor will practically be living in different worlds. Learn either a medival skill or a skill that would be beneficial in such a society. I'm doing machining and blacksmithing. Might start dabbling in chemistry too. If I can't be successful in modern society maybe I can be highly skilled and successful in whatever secondhand society emerges.
