Recent AI advances have been mocked for not quiet living up to the bold claims of their tech bro founders.But even in their current, imperfect form, LLM’s, general use robots and generative models are ALREADY replacing jobs and they are getting better every day.So that’s bad for workers, but if you are a senior corporate executive or company owner, maybe you should be asking yourself…If we automate everybody’s job… who is going to buy all of your stuff?I have some good news and some bad news for your theoretical company.The good news is that labor reduction systems of all varieties have ALREADY cut out millions of manhours in America alone and made the workers who are left more efficient at their jobs.Artificial intelligence is just another tool that your company can use to get more work out of fewer staff or replace teams entirely.Even here at little old works media group we used to have someone working part time whose job it was just to cut out images on Photoshop to use in our goofy little animations.Now Adobe Suite has inbuilt AI features which can automatically remove backgrounds from any image with absolutely no human time or skill involved.Now if you still think that sounds a bit depressing, well welcome to this channel, but also, I should tell you that market trends say this is already happening… AI isn’t going to change YOUR world, it’s just going to continue a trend that’s been happening for years now.So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out if how companies are adapting to a world where nobody can afford anything anymore.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

The Great Depression ExplainedDuring the 1920s, America was thriving. National wealth had doubled from the year 1920 to 1929, over 12 million households purchased radios, and electric refrigerators became widely available. The Ford Model T revolutionized travel, places such as motels, grocery stores, and movie theaters were now easily accessible, and large scale automobile companies created thousands of new jobs. Americans began moving into cities, people didn’t have to sew their own clothes, and citizens all across America began buying the same brands of food, listening to the same music, and doing the same dance (the Charleston). This became known as the

Why EVE Onlines Market System Might Be Too Efficient For its Own Good - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈The third and final installment in my series on the Financial System of EVE Online.So far in this series we have already explored how the massive wars you hear about in gaming magazines are funded using everything from in game casinos to war bonds.We have also explored how the game has it’s very own tax havens and how they were causing the same kind of issues that tax havens do in the real world.EVE Online’s economy is so large and complex that it truly does rival some small nations, what’s more than that is that it’s system are so realistic that they can genuinely be used to model real world economic systems far more effectively than even the most expensive models used by governments, universities and financial institutions.Part of this is by design. But it may not all be for the best.So its time to learn how money works, and see how the market system in EVE online might have been too well designed for it’s own good.In an interview with the founder and CEO of EVE online, it was revealed that the Marketplace in eve, (where buyers and sellers will trade items) was actually copied off the Nasdaq.You see way back in 2002 when this game was first being developed the creators knew that enabling free and effective trade between players would be key for making the game truly immersive, as opposed to similar games at the time, that relied primarily on trading with non-player-controlled characters that would offer fixed per-determined prices.So they needed to develop a system to make this happen.#EVEOnline #Finance #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Part 1 - https://youtu.be/m6j_UsGJnkQPart 2 - https://youtu.be/2t25bsqlTM8Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSRMusic by Epidemic Sound & Eve Online Original SoundtrackSign Up Link (if you want to try out the game) - https://www.eveonline.com/signup?invc=ef33cafb-0aa2-4051-9f03-55dc800247c2(This link gives both you and I rewards in the game)Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.
