It is inevitable, however I don't agree in his timeline. I believe it will take 2 decades to build out the infrastructure for AI datacenters,robotic factories, and energy infrastructure. Employment will not be affected untill that time, but there will be a transition of types of jobs occuring now. For example computer programmers are losing their jobs, but construction jobs, electricians, and learning center jobs are increasing. So this guy thinks we should not save money today by stopping USAID and allow mass migration now. So when this does happen in who knows how many years and probably lose 50 percent of jobs, we will need to print money for those that don't work. The increased productivity of robotic factories will allow this to happen. However, if we allow mass migration into our country we will need to print even more money probably giving less per person. The increase in production will have to match how much money we print. So we need to decrease immigration untill we know how much productivity the AI and robotics will produce. This guy is clueless.

Cutting money going to Africa was purely based on racism. That's all. It destroyed many livelihoods no matter what Must said.

Money, shareholders, and white supremacy are what he's after. First time I've seen Mr. Harari so outraged in an interview. And rightfully so, of course.
