The Sorensen Monologues

Welcome to AI-merica

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the government employees losing their jobs, all these decent people having their lives totally upended. Musk says he wants to replace much of the federal workforce with AI. In the private sector, we’re also seeing layoffs and fewer job openings in industries where bosses are trying to use AI to cut labor costs. At the same time, the social safety net is being threatened with massive cuts. What are people supposed to do? What’s the point of an economy that no longer serves the interests of human beings?
