When Artificial Intelligence Holds The Hidden Hand of Depopulation

When Artificial Intelligence Holds The Hidden Hand of Depopulation

Transhumanist eugenics are here. The manifest isn't a prescriptive from Singularity Institute technologists. It's simply angry young men out of work in America.

In Tokyo today there is a forty-something man who never made enough consistent income from his technical gig work to hold down a wife and family. He may overspend on gadgets in an apartment the size of a closet, working catch-as-catch can 70 to 90 hours a week to support himself. There is no time for women or children.

They’re so overworked, many doubt they’re noticing.

Young men in American culture are witnessing a shift in employment losses to Generative AI and AI production adoption. They’re not in the streets yet with Tiki torches yelling, “YOU. WILL NOT. REPLACE US!!”.

However, it won’t be long now.
