My employer has been implementing massive layoffs and pay cuts thanks to AI and machine learning (translation industry). This is great news because it means UBI will be here any minute.

When they fire you, should you try to get a new job? Trying to find employment would just slow down progress on UBI and condemn us to mindless work, not to mention that it's a waste of time to learn a new skill when it'll just be automated and you can spend your time doing more important things like coding.

Overall I'm really excited about seeing the job cuts this year! Nobody likes their job anyway. This is a huge leap forward for progress.
