The Population Decline Thread

[crazy canuck]

A thought: we do not get to worry about BOTH the decline of young people entering the workforce, and AI destroying most of the jobs. If these both happens at a mass scale it'll even out, surely. White collar jobs will be done by AI while there'll be such a lack of chefs and carpenters that they'll get white collar wages

Yes, with an important caveat. If AI tools can do the job as well or better.  But, with a few exceptions in the area of bench science, that assumption is not proving true.
