I suspect our entire almost 40 trillion dollar national debt is due to fraud. I actually suspect the amount stolen from us is way higher. We are being robbed blind and absolutely nothing is done about it

Everyone is afraid AI is going to eliminate their job. Jensen Huang says the opposite is true. Huang: “The fact of the matter is PCs made us more busy. The internet made us more busy. Mobile devices made us super busy.” Every technology wave in history that was supposed to destroy work instead created more of it. Not different work. More work. The pattern is consistent enough that dismissing it requires a real argument. Not just anxiety. Jensen has one more point before the fear narrative even gets started. Huang: “We are millions of truck drivers short. We are tens of millions of manufacturing workers short. Employment is very high, and yet many companies don’t have enough labor.” The current economy is not suffering from too much automation. It is suffering from not enough workers. Robots do not arrive into a world of abundance and displace people who have jobs. They arrive into a world of shortage and fill roles that cannot be filled any other way. Huang: “Robots will fill in that gap. As a result, all of our country’s economy will grow. And when the economy grows, most companies tend to hire more people.” The logic is clean. Shortages constrain growth. Growth constrained means wealth not created. Companies not scaled. Jobs not added. Robots remove the constraint. Economy expands. Hiring follows expansion. That argument is historically airtight. But history has also never seen a technology that could perform cognitive work at this scale. Every previous wave automated physical or mechanical tasks. This one is different in kind. Not just degree. The labor shortage is real. Jensen’s pattern recognition is legitimate. And the honest answer is that nobody knows with certainty whether this wave follows the same arc as every previous one. What is certain is that the people who bet against technology creating more work have been wrong every single time. So far.
