Look at Civilian Conservation Corps, a very interesting solution to all of it, especially that there is a transition period for full automation. Perhaps our job will be to "care" for the outcome in the real world that affects people.

Of course, billionaires have other plans, and are the main obstacle in achieving any sort of social cohesion.

Of course they did, however we need to document this and build a book of cases as it should be looked at in a broader context. In other words, at some point this is a hostile action, and not only 'lobbying'.

For sure, it is not the same though. Also, ML algos will try to estimate the probability that you do anyway without your consent and with silent consent from the governments.

Yes. There are many other books but in mine a peaceful resistance a'la mass strike is one of the most effective ways to send a message "upstairs". To do so, we need to organize locally and grow structures from the ground up. I an an optimist though.

They make it impossible to predict on purpose. The more the population is disoriented the better for the ultra rich, paradoxically it maximizes control. It is a hostile act of course, but as always they're at war with you but you are not at war with them. Choose offline communities, organize, organize, organize. Peacefully, constructively, remember a coordinated general strike is much more dangerous to them than your prison sentence for throwing a brick at a cop.

I've got 12 agents. They're doing the work of 120 engineers, and three CEOs. Lately, one of the agents has been laid off due to AI, and another went to see the Burning Man so another 10 work overtime. The CEO agent became an evangelical Christian, and wrote how cool Peter Thiel is on X, so we no longer need people, the future is here.

The issue is not the money, the issue is massive wealth imbalance which is best reflected in the $ class owning the current political players. In other words, oligarchy must be stopped, and democracy defended.

Prescribing meds which you could avoid while receiving 'courses' from Key Opinion Leaders in fancy places from the pharma companies. This ranges from antibiotics through psychotropics and up until the pain meds. You can argue some of it is on the safe side, some may be beneficial, etc. Should you accept an invitation to a conference which will increase your skills?

Psych eval without consent is unethical to say the least. And I disagree, the culture fit is not important at all - the way of working, the products, the attitude towards work all good, but the culture fit is a scam.

I don't think there are more grey areas in software engineering than in medicine. The difference is the feedback loop of the outcome - if you design a dopamine slot machine you will ruin the generation and that's a long arc.
