In 2022, Elon Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion.
Soon after, he fired 80% of Twitter staff. That’s upward of 6000 people.
This isn’t the only case of tech layoffs or layoffs in general. Headlines are flooded with news of companies deciding to downsize, stripping people of their livelihood and leaving the general population worried if they’re next on the chopping block.
Along with that, there are a few other interesting predictions.
- Freelance work has increased from 36% of the workforce to 46.6% since 2020.
- The creator economy is projected to double from $250B to $480B by 2028.
- Prominent figures predict AGI — or Artificial General Intelligence — by the end of this year.
Now, some say development is slowing down due to high costs and may take 2 or more years to reach AGI.
Either way, whether we live until we are 500 years old or have robots doing our chores in the next 4 months or 10 years, the only solution is to take matters into your own hands. What you should have been doing in the first place.
It’s no wonder why people are so worried about being replaced.
Their skills are becoming outdated. They are on the verge of losing their means to survival. Their family, lifestyle, and ability to find new work is on the line.
