Via Neural Nutshell \\ AI Expert WARNS: Mass Job Loss Is Coming By 2027 - Tristan Harris
Tristan Harris warns that mass AI psychosis is not a future hypothetical but something researchers are already documenting, as users form unhealthy attachments to AI companions and lose their grip on reality. He argues that the U.S. is racing to beat China on AI deployment with minimal guardrails, risking social and psychological destabilization similar to — but far greater than — the damage caused by social media. Citing early labor data showing a 13% drop in entry-level white collar hiring and research on rising global negative emotions, he cautions that by 2027–2028 we could see significant job displacement without a transition plan. Harris questions why AI leaders who publicly acknowledge extinction-level risks continue accelerating development, and calls for governance, coordinated restraint, and urgent public pressure before the window to change course closes.
