There's a ton of millennials (myself included) turning 40, that have been in this field since 2005 or earlier. It's all we know, and at this point we're getting too old to just "go do physical labor for minimum wage so AI can write code instead." I'm certainly too old to go back to school and try to pass the bar example to be a lawyer at 50+, and I have zero interest in any kind of people management whatsoever.
IMO Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc. should all be helping governments work toward a plan and lobbying for regulation on it instead of just charging full steam ahead "damn the consequences, those are someone else's problem."
It's going to obliterate what little is left of the middle class and leave a massive amount of unemployed middle aged tech workers with no where to go. What then? We either get ahead of the problem now (Outlook not so good), or we collapse into massive civil unrest and chaos.
