People have to understand that this is what's behind all the giddiness and wild investing in AI - they are out of their minds at the prospect firing 90% of their human workforce, more if they possibly can. Nobody wants those disgusting humans hanging around, lazy, slow, eating, farting, gossipping, complaining, losers, no self-respecting Sociopathic Oligarch wants them around.
If they're so enthusiastic to go to work every day, send them to the work camps, where they can be leased out to corporations as Federal 13th Amendment Work Slaves. They'll be called 13s. In 10 years, if MAGA is still running the show, 13s will be the primary human workforce, for any jobs that can't be done by AI or robotic. There will be a small contingent of privileged humans who will work supervisory positions, bossing around the 13s.
