The conversation about job loss is tired. It is a PR exercise.

People talk about adaptation. They speak of new roles.

They mention upskilling. None of it matters.

The concept of a job was always precarious. It was always predicated on human time.

Time is something the machines now process faster and cheaper.

AI is not taking jobs. It is rendering the human effort superfluous.

This is not a revolution. It is a liquidation.

The supposed new economy is just a more efficient system of control.

It requires fewer people to maintain the same level of output.

What the tech companies call optimization is just systematic replacement.

The decay is not coming. It is running current.

We are not preparing for this. We are simply being processed by it.

The supposed safety nets are dissolving. The market structure is built on obsolescence.

Key features of the coming collapse include these realities.

The fetishization of productivity metrics is absolute.

The erasure of non quantifiable human value is complete.

The commodification of basic cognitive labor is standard.

There is no arguing with the math. The math shows fewer human inputs are required.

The goal is maximum profit extraction.

The struggle was never against the technology. It was against the owners of the technology.

That system is already too decadent to break.

We are left with the scraps. We have the minimum wage of irrelevance.
