AI, Robots, and the Death of Your Paycheck

Welcome to the great American experiment—where we work ourselves to death so billionaires can buy another yacht. But guess what? AI and robotics are about to pull the rug out from under us, replacing jobs faster than your ex replaced you. In this episode, Max Bennett and Lisa Vega dissect the economic doomsday scenario playing out before our eyes.Will America adapt, or will we collapse into a cyberpunk nightmare where the only jobs left are influencer, OnlyFans creator, or professional protester? Spoiler alert: the rich will be fine, the politicians will lie, and the rest of us will be fighting self-checkout machines for survival. Grab a drink. And maybe a second one.Note: This project explores the new creative potential unlocked by generative AI, showcasing how a single person, in just two hours, can curate (not create, but curate) a polished podcast series. I recognize the critiques around AI-generated content and the potential for digital clutter but invite you to take a listen on your next walk or drive and see what you think.
