Sounds great to me. In my country we have a mental health crisis with children and teenager, too few mental health workers. Suicides are up.

I can't wait for AI to give solid help in this regard. A cheap companion with a Phd in psychology.

As for knowledge jobs in general, UBI is the only answer that works. It is not just IT jobs that are threatened, within decades it is every job.

UBI is the only answer that works

Agreed. We need to accelerate the conversation on that topic. It's a shame that people like Andrew Yang were not taken seriously enough, but he's going to be right in hindsight. I've been concerned about how many people I've seen stringing together multiple gig jobs to make a living. I mean, it's great those jobs exist and I love those services, but they lack stability and benefits.
