      Jen’s job will change. In some cases it will disappear just like technology replaced Jen’s grandma who was a centralist.

      Okay, but when? Studies show that Jen’s job has not changed yet at all so far. What’s needed for it to change?

      It’s in terms of impact. The microwave made it possible to heat food in an office. AI may make the same office obsolete.

      How specifically?

      The combined total yearly revenue of the AI industry is by a generous estimate around five billion. That is less money that Mario Kart 8 made in revenue. And we didn’t need to restart nuclear reactors to run Mario Kart 8.

      And that revenue is mostly made by OpenAI, mostly by selling to Microsoft, which basically owns it, so one might ask, how does that even count.
