But also, that hasn't decreased the demand for lawyers really.

The demand for Fast Food cashier monkeys also hasn't decreased despite obvious signs that it's going to be the first one to go.

I mean, maybe most people got the idea in their head that this is going to be some kind of slow, gradual thing, but I personally feel we're going to wake up and read about how McDonald's just fired 100,000 cashiers because of machines, and then a year later they've got nothing but 1 or 2 security guards for a store and that's it.

And even those will be replaced by robocop or some shit eventually.

Yeah that's crazy but I guess we'll see who is right soon enough lol

I think it's gonna be more gradual for sure. I'll try to explain why in detail when I'm home but basically there are sunk costs to capital that you have a reason to keep using until it's at least paid for itself. Since big companies like McDonald's are fairly decentralized with respwxt to who finances. and profits from which particular stores, it's gonna be in waves imo
