Blue Blood Blood is an inevitable matter

Blowtorch Brigade is a moment, and what is a moment. We are watching the rivet pistol gets revenge.

White collar layoffs make headlines while merchants call their price. If the sink explodes at 3 am, Chatgpt will not be able to fix it. But this is just the beginning. The next following in slow and silent steps. It is difficult to note, difficult to fight.

Even skilled deals, as soon as he believes that it cannot be compromised, will not be fortified for a long time. This is because, in the era of artificial intelligence, there is no safe collar forever, regardless of a dirty or clean range. In other words, the Blue Blood Blink is inevitable.

Currently, the deals are thrived because the machines are still stumbling with the microscopic motor skills. Plastic, welding and electricians – these are functions that require real ingenuity. It requires quick thinking and the type of judgment that you cannot automate. It is one thing to answer questions in the chat window. It is another to crawl under a leaked floor plate and re -connect the breaker box while the water is put on your neck. Even the most obvious robot arm does not replace it any time soon.

But the main phrase is “any time soon”, it is never.

This is what remains lost in the bosom of victory with blue collars. Yes, carpenters and plaster in demand. Yes, robots still stumble with chaos and fine details. But artificial intelligence does not sleep. Do not stop. And most importantly, it does not reach its climax. Not only take jobs – he studies them, watches, learn, and improves – calmly, constantly.

We have long passed the initial models. Boston Dynamics of Robots Perfect and Climbing stairs with military grace. The machines are already pouring panels, putting the bricks, and finishing Drywall with the accuracy of the machine store. Mechanical weapons strand needles, folding washing and wage surgery with steady hands.

These are not developments. They are plans for those who will come after that.

The next wave will not follow the instructions. They will adapt. The robot plumbers will feel the pressure of pressure and correct the torque in the middle of the work. You will read the thugs of defects and adapt to flying. Do not break smoke, no checks, no human error. The trades have passed a moment, but that moment will pass.

I say this without pride-I came from a family of blue collars. My father and uncle built our house with their hands. They put the floor plates, walked the walls, and put the roof beam that is still carried. I grew up to honor this work. I still do. But honor will not back down from what will happen. Not when you bring every hour a smarter machine. Not when the trade you learned becomes a line of the code. Artificial intelligence is not concerned with the feeling of the sacred function. He only cares about the extent of repetition. Beam by Beam is translated, a line of line of software instructions, so that the most practical worker is translated into the logic of the machine. We do not get full replacement tomorrow, but we are moving towards it.

When artificial intelligence becomes more sophisticated and embodied than artificial intelligence than being modern to a tool, you will feel almost pressure. Every repeated task becomes a goal. Once the robot building is cheaper than human training, employers will shave. They always do.

It starts small. Few people on the site. Less hand -made decisions. CAD Software deals with plans. Appointment of a laser replaces tape measures. Pre -wall walls and plumbing sections are ready for installation, which greatly reduces the need for skilled workers on the floor. AI -backed systems can scan work site errors and science before one factor appears. What is used to take a full crew now takes half of the members – or less.

Currently, the feast of merchants and women. Wages rise. The tables are full. It is difficult to find good help, and those who appear on time can name their price. It looks like a long correction. After decades of telling children that real success comes with neck debts and students, it appears that the world finally remembers that society is not running without people who can connect a house or fix a tube seized.

But we have seen this movie before. In manufacturing. In agriculture. In retail sale. First, the lack of work, the golden moment. Then the device comes. Companies do not want to solve the deficiency by raising wages forever. They want a scale. They want to grow without people.

The deals will not fade, but they will turn further than recognition. A 2040 plop may not crawl under the ponds. He will manage ten robots that work from artificial intelligence from a tablet, each one has a task that has been trained for learning. The ceiling may never leave the ground, and try drones to place the shogy dubbing with the resolution of the laser. The metal welding may not be ignited, but adjust the with the machine tolerate the screen. The work will remain, but practical craftsmanship, and intuition may not escape the guidance from the transition. The body will not be in the ring. Trade will become another interface.

This is the deeper loss. Not only jobs, but meaning. For generations, trades offered more than one salary. They presented identity, dignity and pride. A man like my father can refer to a house and say, I built it. This type of work was visible. tangible. It did not disappear to the inbox or data schedules. I stood in concrete, wood, copper and steel. But when you put brick machines, this pride strikes a dead end. Nothing left to refer to. The handicrafts die in silence. Not because she stopped things. But because we stopped delivering it.
