I think things are going to move fast, but I agree there will probably be a lot of job protectionism regardless
Gas station pump attendants and human elevator operators
The problem is, they either need to expedite UBI, or find a new form of adult daycare

To clarify since you guys are talking about MC tech, does your answer change if it is A through E or is it the same
the funniest MC test I had was a true/false test with 5 options
true, false, true (high confidence), false (high confidence), no idea
true/false gives +1/-1 if right/wrong, high confidence gives +2/-2, 0 for no idea, and no its not bonus
so to get max marks, you must answer high confidence for every question and get nothing wrong
this was the T/F section of my first year intro to chemistry course in uni
I think it was something like 30 questions

yes/no/idk
idk: 0
yes/no (correct): +1
yes/no (incorrect): -5
and then there's the Pirate's Choice questions, which you have to get correct or else you fail
If anyone has too much desk space
Look at this ridiculous thing
