In fact, the wave of unemployment corresponds to the wave of layoffs in countless companies.

Taking the IT industry as an example, there are no less than ten intelligent programming tools in the world, programmers do not need to type out lines of code, just draw a flow chart, design a web interface, tabular design database, and then generate it with one click.

A website or app can do just that.

In addition to a small number of top programmers, millions of mid- and low-level programmers have reduced their workload by 90%, and then they have also been laid off by 90%.

Even the new generation of programmers does not have programming ability, but values his design ability more.

Simple manual labor.

Elementary mental work.

are all being eliminated like extinction.

Not to mention the mass layoffs in ordinary companies.

Among China's private technology enterprises, the strategic alliance, which accounts for more than 50% of the profits, has also seen some changes.

For example, Longyao Company has optimized about 15% of its employees.

Bioti, which employs nearly one million people, has optimized 30% of its assembly line workers and announced that it will not hire anyone for the next three years.

Blu-ray has not laid off employees, but it will not hire for the next five years; Modu Microelectronics has also slowed down the pace of personnel expansion.

The Black Hole Group, which has nearly 80,000 employees, will also raise the big knife of layoffs and cut a large number of jobs at once.

To be honest, this problem is not only the concern of the entire technology circle, but also the employees of Black Hole Group are even more nervous and anxious, lest they be replaced by intelligent robots or intelligent brain programs.

"In the future, Black Hole Group will not only not lay off employees, but will also recruit more than 1 million outstanding talents, we do not exclude advanced intelligent technology, but still value people with unlimited potential, no one can be replaced by machines, but with the help of better machines, to create greater value."

Wei Ming's words played a decisive role.

The military spirit within the Black Hole Group suddenly stabilized, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, it is not for nothing that Wei Ming has suggested layoffs, such as Yu Dazui of Longyao Company and Mr. Sun of Biodi, who all think that the Black Hole Group is a bit bloated and has a high maintenance cost, so you can also learn from them and optimize it a little.

But Wei Ming has his own considerations.

He didn't fail to see the advantages of intelligent robots and AI brains, and it was no problem to replace 70% of employees.

But......

Is it the people that matter, or the money that matters?

This question is a bit silly, and I believe that most people will think that the latter is important, after all, no money is absolutely impossible.

Wei Ming felt that when there was enough money, people were more important.

It's a simple truth, this world can do without robots, but can there be no humans?

From the perspective of a human being, you should not lay off a large number of human employees, reduce their quality of life, fall into a long-term unemployment + low-income environment, and always be in the quagmire at the bottom and difficult to get out of.

Or immerse yourself in the world of virtual online games, with game gold mining as your main occupation...... After virtual online games became popular in 2025, there are currently more than 10 million professional gamers who make a living from virtual games.

Wei Ming also went to play a virtual game called "Sacred Continent" for a while, pretending to be slapped in the face all the way, which was indeed a bit interesting, and he incarnated as a local tyrant and smashed tens of billions of dollars in it, but somehow in the back, he felt that it was not interesting, so he quit and didn't play.

After all, as long as you throw money at a place where you can get everything, it's like opening an invincible hanging, and it will be very boring after a long time, and there is no sense of accomplishment at all.

In the game, you can get some experience by cutting a day monster, as well as about 15 gold income, the longer you play, the more other players increase, the gold income decreases, and the investment is inversely proportional to the return.

But in reality, processing materials for one day can earn hundreds of billions.

Synthesize a day's worth of water drop crystals, which can reach 500 billion.

As long as he doesn't agree, the price will never fall.

There are two things in front of you, do you choose to farm monsters in the game, or do you farm materials in reality?

Far away......

All in all, Wei Ming believes that population is very important, and does not agree with the cruel statement that "those who have jobs are elite population, and those who do not have jobs are garbage population", no one wants to be garbage, as human beings who create artificial intelligence, they should be far above it, rather than being replaced and eliminated by what they have created.

"In the future, it should be the era when everyone is like a dragon, the per capita income is at least 100 times that of the present, everyone can afford to live in a villa, there is a large enough land, there are a variety of service robots at home, and a large number of robots are used in the work, no need to work hands-on, as long as you are responsible for designing blueprints, making plans, and on-site commands, the work process is a bit similar to playing a real-time strategy game, and the test is the ability to plan as a whole."

"Robots are just tools, humans are the eternal masters, and if you want to maximize the role of robots, you must rely on people."

Considering that there will be large-scale immigration to aliens in the future, open up the universe, and enter the Age of Interstellar Discovery, only 80,000 employees, one million employees, the number is far from enough, and even more will be recruited in the future.

So it is impossible for his black hole group to lay off employees.

……

March.

The boring life continues like an assembly line.

If there are any waves, it is that Xu Chuxia recently had another child, pregnant with a third child, Wei Ming scanned it at the DNA level and found that this baby was finally a daughter, and he was happy for many days.

But if you want to hold your daughter, you have to wait until December at the end of the year.

So I looked at the starry sky overhead.

Wei Ming, who suddenly wanted to go out to relieve his boredom, formulated a "Solar System Odyssey Plan".

He plans to spend about two months taking a good spin in the solar system.

Roam around from near to far.

The Sun, Mercury, Venus, the asteroid belt, Jupiter and its surrounding moons, Saturn, Uranus, and so on, all come up close and take a look, or stop at the surface and take a little soil sample.

Take a photo, take a photo, punch a card, etc.

Does this mean anything concrete?

Wei Ming is not a scientist, but after popularizing science, he also knows that from the perspective of resources, no planet can be evaluated as "worthless".

Whether it is the sun, the heavy element planet, or the gas planet, they are all incalculably valuable.

The sun is so strong that if you build a solar power plant near the sun, you will be treating the sun as a "fusion power station" with an infinite amount of energy.

For example, on some planets, the main component of the atmosphere is methane.

In Jupiter's upper atmosphere, hydrogen accounts for 75% of its weight, and Wei Ming was fantasizing at the time: if it was connected to Jupiter's atmosphere with a tube, wouldn't there be an endless supply of hydrogen fuel available?

Even if the idea of pipelines is not realistic, you can use space cruise ships to pump methane or Jupiter's atmosphere one by one, and then the gas stoves in people's homes will have endless fuel.

"Let's take a walk, take a good inventory of the assets of the solar system, and then make the next step."
