I had a former classmate make that mistake when writing a cover letter for city planning jobs. She wrote "I look forward to working in the pubic sector". She was more than a bit embarrassed when she found out.

Talk to Billie Holliday, George Carlin, and Lenny Bruce about cancel culture. The RW invented cancel culture.

I made no such assumption. When the AI bubble bursts (it will) people will do what they always do. They will want to cash out where they can, and this will cause the Crypto bubble to burst.

Different, yes. It will be much bigger and will create a crash in Crypto as people rush to get $$$

When the market crashes, people will want $$$ and the run on crypto will make the Running of the Bulls look safe

All those corporations that relocated to red states for tax purposes would run home.

I grew up in WI and have tried speaking with people I grew up w who voted for Trump. FOX and other RW angertainment has convinced them their worldview is correct, even though most have never left the country and rarely leave the state

Our country would have been much better off if Lincoln had freed the slaves, gotten them all up north, and then let the South go off on its own.

Abstract
We examine the labor market effects of AI chatbots using two large-scale adoption surveys (late 2023 and 2024) covering 11 exposed occupations (25,000 workers, 7,000 workplaces), linked to matched employer-employee data in Denmark. AI chatbots are now widespread—most employers encourage their use, many deploy in-house models, and training initiatives are common. These firm-led investments boost adoption, narrow demographic gaps in take-up, enhance workplace utility, and create new job tasks. Yet, despite substantial investments, economic impacts remain minimal. Using difference-in-differences and employer policies as quasi-experimental variation, we estimate precise zeros: AI chatbots have had no significant impact on earnings or recorded hours in any occupation, with confidence intervals ruling out effects larger than 1%. Modest productivity gains (average time savings of 3%), combined with weak wage pass-through, help explain these limited labor market effects. Our findings challenge narratives of imminent labor market transformation due to Generative AI.

It's not a fine that matters unless it impacts the stock price.
