Literally everything is an immediate mortal threat to these people.
Someone needs to tell them the story of the boy who cried wolf.

I think a lot of those white collar jobs were already on the chopping block before AI. There's a huge oversupply of such people which is one of the reasons for some of the bigger problems in the world as these people who know they don't actually do anything for their disproportionately good living try to justify their existence to themselves and to the companies they work for. It's like a dog chewing up the furniture because you never take it for a walk, but for middle management.
People lose their jobs to new tools all the time. It could be as simple as a conveyor belt being installed in a plant so the person who previously carried a thing from point A to point B loses their job.
It's a bad day for the people who lose their jobs, but it doesn't mean a conveyor belt isn't just another tool either.

The deep state doesn't want them to know this, but checkmarks on the fediverse are free.
I've seen the future, and it's interconnected and decentralized. The idea that we'd make the same mistake again and give all the power to one website we don't control and the stock market does seems crazy -- we've already seen how that movie ends.

Worth the 10 minutes. Way more harrowing than you'd think for a bunch of microbes.

The blue bits are possibly archaea. Not much to look at at 400x, but cool to know they're there.
To be fair, the whitest guy you know is only white, and not orange.
Whether it's bad or not really depends on the skin color, as we know.

"Oh no! His immune system is black!"
"It's cancer! Shoot! Shoot!"
>and that's when we decided profiling the immune system wasn't a good idea.

I remember at the time they were trying to change the fact that most cars looked exactly the same so this pos car was supposed to invoke old cars for boomers (or maybe their retired parents?)
If we assume arguendo that ChatGPT is always correct, then it's still just a chat bot, and has some fundamental limitations in how it can interact with a student.
It's limited to displaying text or reading with a tts, and being interacted with using voice recognition or text. It can't see. It can't hear (it might hear words if it has voice recognition, but nothing else). It can't hear emotions. It can't see the look on someone's face. It has no body, it can't gesture, it can't draw (another solution can draw, but it isn't as impressive as chatgpt yet in a lot of ways), it has no sense of the energy in the room, it has no sense that someone is interested or not, it generally isn't going to be driving the lesson, it doesn't have the attention span to follow a short-term or long-term lesson plan.
So I think it'll be like a lot of things -- a tool, but nowhere near an apocalyptic tool.
Now, on the other hand, I think teachers should be more concerned that a lot of the people having kids don't necessarily trust public education is going to help their kids. Not only is the number of kids in general collapsing, but of those homeschooling, charter schools, and private schools are booming.

I pretty routinely got my hands on Atari 2600s back in the day because when you're a kid, you take what you can get and they were all around yard sales.
