Barclays cutting 5,000 jobs as it increases reliance on AI

Right. Park Rangers, Surveyors... field jobs with mobility but not requiring hard physical work in all kind of weather conditions.
Of the manual labor people talking about here, perhaps only the electricians are less subjected to physical labor stresses. I have employed roofers, plumbers, carpenters, driveway pavers, yard workers... I don't envy them.

I always wanted to be a cop but they don't pay as well as my IT job!

There will be a reckoning between the economic model of Ai and the products that these large corporations will provide, with having "no customers" for their products and services because everyone is unemployed with no income

"No customers" is by design for these AI edgelords. Elon Musk is on record saying that AI will reach a level where no one will need to work and everyone will just have what they want. Obviously he didn't say whether all 7 Billion people will have what they want. It will be obvious to people like him that he is talking of far far lesser number of people. Reduction of world population is definitely an unstated objective. Utopia will be achieved when there are no companies and no customers. Just entities controlling and distributing resources as per some agreed rule.
