Is all this bunker-building a sign that the 1% know something we don’t and are preparing for end times?

    Right, but how much support do these bots need behind the scenes. Somebody has to do maintenance on them, somebody has to be able to decide whether they’re functioning properly, whether they have problems that need to be addressed, etc. Hence why I think there will still be need for workers. It’s just the nature of work is going to be around making sure the robots are operating smoothly. You’d probably need a relatively small workforce, but I don’t think you could eliminate it entirely by 2040.

        My prediction is that this going to turn out to be hype for the most part. We’ll definitely see some advances in AI happening, but I’m far more skeptical about the wild claims about full automation. I think what we’re seeing is companies riding the hype wave and trying to get investments while this tech is looking really hot. Like you said, we’ll see where we are in a decade or so.
