Point is once AI takes over it would cause big panic if jobs are lost in US, they are lost in Asia too. and when it comes to resources and survival you'd undersand where world can go to and at what length...
there is a reason wars are necessary and that market is made.. and there is also a reason when complete destruction of another side is not done.. it kind of maintains balance...
If AI takes over, asia, africa and south america won't be easy to live either...
I dont think it will all be about AI. The situation is already getting rough for people. AI will merely be what the narrative clings to as the reason. And thanks to borderless payments a lot of jobs in rich countries will go to less rich countries as well. My job is also being taken by Filipinos who work remotely for Philippines. Of course I don’t hold it against them, I resent the companies who pay them 10% of my old salary so they are struggling still. You could give them a good life with 30% of my old salary.
I think your prediction makes a lot of sense, but the immigration issues in America and Finland say otherwise. I think there will be lots and lots of movement in all directions. Too many factors at play. Interesting topic though!
I am looking at it from the eyes of a woman who commutes singapore-malaysia and has seen how the foreign immigrants come in their post 40/50 age life to settle here in asia.. I have never seen 20 year old coming to asia, africa for settling in life...which would be bad decision too.
typical brainy nerd intelligent kids going to USA, EU won't be stopped from any part of the world even with AI taking over. we are discussing the middle and below level jobs where brain is less required but other tasks which AI can do or automation may replace.. which means those jobs gone, people who immigrate for those jobs would have to stay back
There are many people from America living in Mexico and commute across the border like you do. Also what are English teachers in Asia? We are blue collars who look like white collars. Originally it was rich kids just looking for an experience but more and more of them just don’t have opportunities at home. I am one of the few who grew to like it and was confident enough to go independent instead of getting paid minimum wage.
You are probably right about a certain kinds of jobs, yeah. But I think you are imaging Asia to be much worse than US or EU when it’s really not unless you are rich there. Much of my generation is going into ridiculous debt that they will never be able to pay off, and that debt is getting harder and harder to acquire anyway. It’s a similar rat race everywhere although some apartments in some places are way worse than others.
