A 'white-collar bloodbath': AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs, CEO warns


Morning Joe is the mouthpiece of the deep state. To have been silent up to this point is evidence that we have now hit the point of no return.
So listen to their message --

1. There is nothing you can do to stop this train

2. So, jump on board, every person should be spending 10% of their time with AI.

Do you realize that every moment you spend with AI you are training it. If every worker spends 10% of their time on AI, all it will take is 10 workers doing a similar job to train it. There are 366,000 paralegals in the US. Suppose everyone of them spends 10% of their time next week, let's say four hours each. That is around 1.5 million hours of training in one week. That is the equivalent of 750 years of training you are giving to the AI in one week, free of charge, to take your job. Think of how rapidly AI will improve.

The second thing I would point out is that every single prediction of when AI will reach a benchmark has been beaten dramatically by AI. So they say 5 years 50% of the jobs. Expect that to be dramatically beaten. This way it seems like they warned you because they said 50% of the jobs, the only thing they got wrong was the timing.

Also they point out that the first thing that goes will be new hires. So if this prediction is too conservative and AI will take these jobs sooner than five years and will eliminate new hires from recent grads sooner than that, what MSNBC just said is you are wasting your money sending your kid to college now. After 4 years they will not get hired.

Good News -- They know how to prevent AI from destroying mankind

1. Don't give it access to the internet

2. Don't make it open source.

Should we be concerned that they know this and yet ignored this?

CEO warns AI could cause 'serious employment crisis' wiping out white-collar jobs


He points out the same thing I have been saying, that entry level white collar jobs will be taken by AI. When asked for a timeline he said 1-5 years. That means that any kid in High school in the Fall should forget about college. By the time you graduate there will not be any jobs.

My advice

Already AI is at the level of a smart college graduate in every subject. So instead of wasting 240k on college, instead subscribe to a few AI services and work as an independent contractor.

In fact I would think Seniors and Juniors in HS should do the same. It is pointless to worry about applying to college. You can always use Khan academy to study any subject you think you are deficient in.

Muuuch better topic and videos than the empty Chinese cities stuff.

These are important videos, and this ai problem is so gigantic, I’m comfortable saying there’s almost no chance we survive 10 years.

Although, I believe 5 yrs or less is more likely before something catastrophic happens, and or the Lord returns.

Yes, but I doubt the rapture is for more than about 5% of the world's population, and likely much less. So for the majority of people the Lord's return will be seven years long. For the Majority of Christians it will be less than four years.

China is the canary in the coal mine. Their cheap manufacturing is being replaced first by 3D printers, robots, and AI. They are the R&D for the Antichrist to see how to deal with Christians and those who will not take the mark and how to get rid of useless eaters. They were the most vaccinated of all nations.

Also we know that 3 horns will be uprooted and replaced by the little horn. This tells me that the Antichrist comes from a nation with a smaller "horn" than the three it replaces. It looks to me like the three may very well be the US, the UK and China. A war between US and China could take them both out. As AI becomes more important so does Taiwan and thus the war over Taiwan becomes existential for both superpowers.

AI Leader Dire Warning: WHITE COLLAR BLOODBATH IS HERE!

Please note, every prediction about AI has been wrong, in every case they have predicted we would not reach certain benchmarks several years later than we actually did. AI has a track record of improving faster than anyone predicted. So when he gives a 1-5 years for this bloodbath I would lean into the 1 year side, rather than the 5 year side of that prediction. In other words, the job market for college graduates in 2026 will likely be horrible and layoffs this year will be more than they were last year.

Some have said that they can already replace 2/3rds of computer coders with AI. We are seeing driverless taxis being rolled out in Austin in June with plans to roll it out to more cities once the taxis have been deemed a success. We are also seeing driverless trucks being tested on i45 in Texas. If these rollouts are successful it is plausible that taxi drivers and truck drivers will see mass unemployment in a year.

Elon Musk says that all Teslas can be upgraded in the near future to be driverless taxis so individual owners can let their car act as a taxi while they are at work, kind of like Uber. So the speed with which this can be expanded will be stunning.

Fully automated fast food restaurants without any workers are already operational. All they need is the data to prove that this is more profitable and they will easily get the loans to upgrade restaurants nationwide.

A fastfood worker and a taxi driver and a truck driver are not considered white collar workers. Imagine what happens when we are having mass layoffs in both white collar and blue collar jobs. This could easily begin in the next 12 months.

From my perspective religious and self righteous people have this low estimate.

They will be more shocked at who is raptured rather than who is not.

I use several approaches to calculate this

First --


1. Only those who identify as Christians will be raptured and worldwide 31% of the world's population identifies as Christian.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

2. Statistics indicate that 30% of those who identify as Christians go to church each week. This brings the total down to 9% of the world's population.

Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

3. Of those who are in church the Lord indicates half will be cut asunder. (However, to eat and drink with the drunken could indicate they don't attend church regularly, could be those who come at Christmas and Easter only). Therefore I would conclude this could be referring to the 21% of people identifying as Christians but who don't attend church. So the range at this point is 4.5% to 9%.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Here they are both servants and they are both in the house and they both refer to Jesus as "my Lord". Jesus calls these ones "evil".

4. Then we have the ten virgins. None of these are evil, but half of them are foolish.

25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

They are all going out to meet the Bridegroom, they all have lamps that are lit, but the foolish ones don't have oil with their lamps, they depend on borrowing oil from others. These are those who go to church, they aren't evil, but they depend on the Pastor to give them oil each week rather than having their own experiences of the Lord. The foolish ones are shut out and told to go buy oil from those who sell it. They will have to pay the price for oil during the tribulation and will be the tribulation saints. This cuts the number to a range of 3-4.5%.

5. Here the Lord refers to the "unprofitable" servant. Not evil and not foolish.

14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. 16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. 17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. 18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. 21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. 28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

These three are involved in "ministry". Two thirds of them are actively involved in ministry and the other one buries the talent in the backyard. So you have Christians who attend church regularly, they are not evil, they are not foolish, but they are slothful and then make excuses for being slothful by blaming the Lord. Hence the Lord calls them wicked. This drops the estimate to 2-3%. That is still 240 million people. A great multitude which no man could number in Revelation 7.

This is one way to calculate it.

Second --

Joshua and Caleb give a good report, the other ten spies give an evil report. As a result all those who listened to the evil report must go through the wilderness and die in the wilderness. I see that as an example of 5/6ths of genuine Christians going through the tribulation. If 9% are genuine Christians then only 1.5% will be raptured prior to the tribulation.

Right away, # 1 is false. Some people have shipwrecked their faith. Walked away from their faith. Have dead faith.

Not one word about, " you have lost your rapture."

So you have a different interpretation. However, I could give many more examples. Elijah represents the saints who are raptured and Elisha represents the tribulation saints.

Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

These are definitely saved out of the tribulation.

When Moses came down from the mountain He called the Levites up, that would be one tribe out of 12. They then killed all those who were guilty of idolatrous worship. But everyone had to drink the bitter water, that is like the weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Not being raptured prior to the tribulation does not mean you have lost your salvation. You can be saved from hell without being worthy to escape the tribulation.

Thank you for your replies. I do appreciate them.

But all believers(those who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation) will be raptured.

The "drunk" down at the bar, who believed/trusted in Christ at a point in time.....................Will be raptured.

All will be saved, not the same as being raptured prior to the seven year tribulation. It is crystal clear that people are saved out of the tribulation and there is no promise anywhere in the Bible that if you believe in the Lord you will escape the coming tribulation. On the contrary you are told by the Lord to pray that you would be worthy to escape. You don't have to pray to be worthy to be saved. Two separate things. There is no word "rapture" in the Bible, we use it as a catch all term for escape.
