Companies only hire people because they can't do all the work themselves.
1. *(Nodding)* Oh, I guess that's true...I guess somebody who can do all the work themselves wouldn't need to hire anybody...
2. *(Logical)* And I guess they shouldn't be required to hire people that they don't need. That would be weird...
3. *(Quizzical)* But aren't we telling millions of kids in high school and college that there are—and always will be—jobs waiting for them if they work hard?
4. *(Nervous)* So...who's actually guaranteeing that those jobs are there? Whose job is it to create jobs?
5. *(Panic)* Oh shit. **Nobody**. It's *nobody's* job to create jobs.
In other words, the only reason the current labor market (and our economy that's based on it) exist at all is because there's a group of founders/owners who need *lots* of help producing their goods and services.
我们一直以为“工作岗位”是社会的必需品,就像物理定律一样永恒。
- 大规模的“劳动力”需求,只是人类早期技术落后产生的**暂时性副作用**。
- 我们建立在“打工赚钱”基础上的整个经济体系,也是一个**副作用**。
这就是真相:所谓的“就业市场”其实是一个因为技术局限而产生的巨大泡沫。随着 AI 填补了技术缺口,这个泡沫正在破裂。
