Whether you're 20, 30, 40, or 50, you're gonna be fucked by AI in some way in the next decade. It doesn't matter if you're old or not.
How?
Can you give some realistic, meaningful ways the average person like myself will be fucked by AI?

If you can cope at 12C in a T-shirt
... up to you, I wear a real jacket and a scarf.
Ugh...had to get on ChatGPT and find out what the fuck 12C was in F.
Ok, so about 54F...roughly. That's cool...I guess depends a bit on how high your humidity is. In the New Orleans area, it can be 54F and very humid...if the wind is coming in off the lake it can be quite chilly....but if lower humidity, more into winter months,...that's not too cold...I'd be wearing a sweater or a jacket....not both.

Last week it was high-90's and low 100's along the central coast (Santa Cruz & Monterey). It cooled down at night, but I also don't have A/C because I almost never need it, maybe for 3-5 days every 3-4 years it would be appreciated.
You can't get a couple window units to have AC when you need it?
You can put them up and take them down pretty readily......better than baking/roasting on those days when you really don't need to.

Minnesota native laughs at +40c to -40c annual span.
I walk every morning a couple of miles outdoors, I wear a long sleeve shirt at 10c or below, a light jacket at 5, go from shorts to sweatpants at 0, a hat and real jacket at -5, and we don't walk below -15.

"prevent automation"
Buggy Whip Makers would like a word with you.
While your post has some interesting tidbits, some even worthy, the conclusions are incorrect. You're blaming government intervention while proposing government intervention as a solution.
The more government is involved in economic matters, the more screwed up things get, because that's the nature of regulations. We just need ONE MORE regulation, and that will solve all the problems (and somehow creates additional problems).
Supply Demand curves exist in all markets. Pushing them around artificially is a recipe to inefficiencies.
