The really scary thing is that we're at the beginning of the AI revolution, and even more people will be out of their jobs soon. It will only get worse for a next decade or so.

I'm almost 50, so it's too late to go into trades. Things are not looking good.

Add a lot of random text to the html pages, preferably hidden to regular users, have the bots use lots of tokens to process it all.

Sidenote: The poster in that article is insane to me. Imagine advertising yourself as the only alternative. I'd rather vote for an empty seat than for someone who's that arrogant!
