I'm afraid of the tech bros and nepotism hired ceos firing everyone for greed and then ruining our economy. The middle and lower classes are going to pick up the bill. We are not the same.

    I just pulled 3 old drives out of my now-defunct gaming tower so I can try to build a media server. An old NVMe 128GB Agility 4 drive, and 2 old ass HDDs. I also have an 8TB drive I can shuck from its box. All because new drives are so goddamn overpriced.

    I've got plenty of storage (around 50tb total) but only 1tb of nvme storage that I would like to expand. Unfortunately I am very space limited so setting up a second computer for a media server isn't an option and my main pc also serves that purpose. Having a large media library also means I have almost 300gb of metadata to worry about.

    Well this happens with any big technology innovation, jobs become redundant and are therefore removed. We have to remember however that economy as a whole, and with that jobs. Are a human construction, we create jobs for ourselfs so we can be part of a collective that at least theoretically works together.

    So we will just create new jobs or things for us to do. Even when we reach singularity.

    You obviously don't know your history. Do you think these people didn't want to "create new jobs?"
