I think we'll all be surprised at how many jobs get taken over by AI, Robotics and machine learning, a few years ago instantly messaging someone around the world and calling him a twat was impossible, now we take it for granted. I'd never bet against humans and their infinite desire for more laziness and enabling that through technology.

Honestly, for me, I don't even see the point of formal education, I would say we should be moving to just have accreditations. So go online learn what you need to learn, then just pay take the tests for your industry and cut out this bullshit of 4 years. If I can do it in 1 year why should I waste 3?

Sure the race is on, we're so energy dependant now we need more forms, be it thorium, nuclear for now, solar and wind still not convinced yet on that but I've seen good progress on things like UV panels and such but I think it's not a silver bullet and will take time to be refined. But yeah energy production and distribution is by no mean efficient and a lot can be done to lose less energy when producing and moving energy to places it's needed.

I am not one of those people that feel my job defines anything in my life, I honestly don't care much for it, I see it as a means to an end, I am contributing to society in my small way but if my entire industry were automated Id low key rejoice lol. I'll just spend time doing other stuff like coding more fun stuff that's not all about how much money it can make!
