AI Robot Swarm Overtakes Humanity A Former Citi Exec Sounds the Alarm

Man vs. Machine The Inevitable Showdown

They push they push I push back. That's how it always is. But this time it ain't the jungle; it's the job market. This Garlick fella from Citi he's saying AI robots are gonna outnumber us. More metal than meat. Sounds like a bad dream. Companies chasing profits replacing people with circuits. It's like they forgot what Sly said in Rocky Balboa "It ain't about how hard you can hit but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."

Payback Time For Robots Not For Humans

A robot pays for itself in weeks? That's faster than I can get a decent meal in this town. This Citi report is crunching numbers showing how cheap it is to replace a human. Fifteen grand for a robot and it's paying for itself in less than a month if it replaces someone making $41 an hour. What about the human factor? The experience the grit the 'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe' factor? This article is interesting and it should make us all rethink and consider that Coca Cola's Fizz Fades A Tad Earnings Dip Signals Evolving Consumer Tastes

The AI Agent Invasion They're Multiplying

AI agents... they're not just building robots they're creating software that thinks and acts on its own. Microsoft says most leaders expect AI agents to be everywhere soon. McKinsey already has 20,000 of these agents working alongside their human employees. It sounds like they're turning the workforce into a damn robot farm. As John Rambo said in Rambo: First Blood Part II “To survive a war you gotta become war.”

Musk's Robot Utopia Or Dystopia

Musk thinks AI will be smarter than us by the end of the year and there'll be more robots than people. He paints a picture of abundance of robots doing all the work. Sounds like paradise but is it? What happens to the human spirit when we have nothing left to strive for? No purpose no fight. I saw a glimpse of this in Rambo III when I said "I'm expendable". That's how they see us expendable.

The Tsunami of Layoffs The Human Cost

Amazon Salesforce Accenture they're all cutting jobs blaming AI. The IMF is calling it a tsunami. Thousands of layoffs in the U.S. alone. People losing their livelihoods their dignity. It's like that scene in First Blood where they push me too far. Only this time the whole damn system is pushing back against the average worker.

A Glimmer of Hope Maybe?

Nvidia's CEO thinks this "AI boom" will create new jobs high paying jobs for those who build the AI and the chip factories. Plumbers electricians steel workers... He's saying there's a future for skilled trades in this new world. Maybe he's right. Maybe there's a way to adapt to fight back with knowledge and skill. But it's gonna be a damn hard fight. Just like in every damn war I have fought.
