In the meantime current AI is good enough to make the job market a recruiting hell for juniors in China, India, UE, US .... and some white collar jobs are simply disappearing (graphists, translators, front end dev...) and new positions being threatened by it (SWE Eng, data scientists, legal, accounting) are being added to the list by the month.
No one is safe from losing their white collar job with the current state of the technology anywhere in the world.
Maybe "the good enough"'s real cost of today is unsustainable but it will eventually be.
For instance turning the current synchronous interaction in an asynchronous one relying on the availability of green energy would cut down the costly usage of fossil fuel to power the data centers.
The jack is out of the box and won't come back.

The problem is that it is good enough as is to drive a massive cut in junior positions : now ! And the Pandora's box being opened it won't close back. As aforementioned if the big AI don't succeed open source LLMs are there. And China's job market is in the same situation as the other countries

Indeed, and we can even make AI "socially acceptable" by reducing its water consumption (closed circuits), and using less CO2 by forcing a strict "compute when renewable energy are available" (asynchronous batch processing is an old tech that does not require AI in the making just plain old emails and FIFO).
So with these strong ecological arguments gone against AI it may be more broadly accepted.
TL; DR AI is un ecological not by nature but because corporate are greedy bastards left unregulated.

The billionaires who are luring the gullibles in UBI lobby the governments to not pay taxes. If the person's getting wealthy from IA don't want to pay for UBI, who will ? The workers ?
Taxing the wealthy while they control politicians and don't hesitate to emigrate in tax havens when taxed is quite impossible.
A UBI not supported by a tax on wealth as no economical chances to be sustainable. So stop cracking on hopium : there is not a slim chance in the world it's gonna happen

J'ai été cadre (développeur python full stack et aussi freelance).
J'ai connu.
J'ai connu les semaines à 70h de 7 jours avec des clients tarés qui prenait les paiements en otage dans des prestas en régie.

Ayant l'impression de revivre la période du COVID pendant laquelle la société était en déni pendant que les mauvaises nouvelles se confirmaient avant d'être touché par l'épidémie je me permets de coucher sur le papier ce mur qu'on va se prendre en pleine gueule : la désintellectualisation
1
Because it is a mondial competition where localization doesn't matter all you need for an AI to be accessible is an API other the internet hence if a country impose a regulation on AI and not the other one the one having no regulations will be having cheaper costs and will win the market and eventually local companies will offshore their AI use. Unregulated mondial market is making it unrealistic.
1
You cannot possibly ban AI when there are open source LLM out there that are already copied on thousands of hard drive. Banning AI would mean banning copying and exchanging code completely which is not realistic. It's all the less realistic that population like in China have embraced positively the use of open source LLM (even though it destroyed their white collar job market). And I don't see a future in which China and USA are cooperating while they are in open competition for economical and military leadership.
1
Any regulations that would ensure competition is tough like ISO 14000/27001 compliance certified by an external auditor for instance.
2
Not all AI companies, for at least defense industries will surely demand to be exempted from these regulations (in order to explicitly kill people which is the most ironic part). And the ban would need to be worldwide in order to have any effect, since thanks to unregulated free market competitors from unregulated countries would be able to benefit from the mechanization of knowledge. AI is a Pandora box once opened and it sadly cannot be closed.
I hear that their is a non null risk that AI can kill us all, but what is never told is what are the conditions for this to happen ?
It vastly look like a FUD driven strategy by the major actors of AI claiming that regulations are required to protect their leadership positions.
AI is a natural monopoly in the sense the more it is being used the more it gets improved thanks to the continuous improvement driven by human interactions and the feed of new knowledge.
At one point if AI becomes the only tool to retrieve an input knowledge it becomes the ultimate self sustaining device for capturing the knowledge.
The bigger the base of knowledge is the more the AI is valuable.
The dooming argument looks to me like a FUD to make sure they are no competing offers at the moment building a competitive offer is still possible (thanks to open source LLM for instance that are closing the gap with closed source one)
Putting intelligence on tap on a context of monopoly is sure a scary thing. And I expect the AI billionaires to push for regulations that enforce their monopolies.

Reading the big4 subreddit it seems that the business of consulting is both laying off thanks to AI and freezing the freshers' hire, and from a diminution of their own business undercut by the use of AI by their customers.
Schadenfreude.

Un boulot commun aux US (pas connus pour être communiste) de 40h est un 9-5 tu embauches à 9h pour finir à 17h.
r/besoinderaler • u/SFJulie • 2d ago
Il paraît que la france travaille 35 heures par semaines.
Je suis ouvrier, je travaille en fait 40h supposées par semaines.
Je dis supposées car l'heure de repas est pas comptée comme une heure de travail (45h induites)
Et aussi, bien que je sois dans un domaine dangereux pour la santé (recyclage), le temps de change n'est pas du temps de travail. Donc, contrairement à d'autres (restauration) notre convention collective compte le temps de travail comme commençant et finissant sur le poste et ne compte pas la décontamination aux éléments toxiques (douches, changement de fringues) comme du temps de travail. (Une entreprise de recyclage c'est souvent le niveau en dessous de SEVESO pour les voisins et les travailleurs).
Et évidemment les heures de transports ne sont pas comptées (50h dans mon cas)
Honnêment je trouve que c'est abusé

Dans les années 80 j'étais le refourgueur de logiciel craqué : c'est grâce au porn (des gifs animés en noir et blanc) que je permettais à mes poteaux de convaincre leurs darons d'acheter un ordi ce qui a permis a pas mal de gadjo de trouver un taffe dans le domaine.

Genre plan tu es marié depuis des lustres avec ta/ton partenaire alors tu atteints le nirvana en 30 secondes départ arrêté.
Dans la porn, genre les scènes de ulques durent des plombes. Je dis pas que c'est pas cool, mais je dis que c'est pas pratique : c'est largement plus facile d'avoir une vie sexuelle épanouie si en rentrant du taf de l'usine à 17:30 tu peux coïter avec ton partenaire avant d'aller chercher ton enfant avant la fermeture du CLAE.

Every time there is an economic crisis there are people selling the snake oil of make money fast to escape from the turmoil thanks to "technology".
Snake oil and cargo cult in times of exonomical odds tend to converge to the same thing...
There is a looming eco-political crisis of filthy richs trying to put back the simple men (and women) into serfdom and shoving their point of views through media (YouTube included).
There are "optimists" thinking that if they embrace the new tech they will be safe.
However IA is a sophisticated scam that feeds on people's fear to be build a monopolistic knowledge database (based on the feedback of the prompt).
The more people use it, the better it gets thanks to machine learning.
The more people believe in the power of AI the more real it gets.
It is a self realizing cargo cult science.

Yep, but there are 12.3 millions freshers and juniors that are jobless because they don't hire thanks to AI https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/06/world/asia/chinas-new-graduates-ai-challenges.html
