It's old but it makes some points...

From the post:

>Some people like to spend $3 on a cup of coffee. While that sounds like a gamble I probably wouldn’t take, I’ll always like to gamble– especially as little as three bucks– on what I might be able to dig up on Buffalo and Western New York, our collective past, and what it means for our future. I recently came across a big pile of Buffalo News front sections from 1991, every day for the first three months of the year… collected as the First Gulf War unfolded. $3. I probably could have chiseled the guy down a buck, but I happily paid to see what else was in those papers. There’s plenty about a run up to the first Superbowl appearance ever for the Bills, and mixed in with the disappointment is an air of hope and expectation for what is to come. Harumph. There are also some great local ads commemorating and/or coat-tailing on the Bills success.

The bigger picture: Think of all the jobs relating to production, marketing and sales of all those devices that were eliminated between then and now. Then contemplate the related effects AI will have as we move forward.

Yes and no? In context I do get it. Less people were needed for similar output because the technology changed. We can never get away from this. It will always happen even if we don't want it to or the other option is to freeze society in time and deny any future advancement. It sucks (for most people) it it is going to happen if we like it or not.
