### AI Job Displacement, Blue-Collar Trades, Skilled Labor

- **Episode:** [1770: Control Grid](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1770-control-grid.md)
- **Published:** 2025-06-05
- **Time:** 2:51:25–2:54:05
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1770-control-grid/chapter/ai-job-displacement-blue-collar-trades-skilled-labor.md

The hosts argued that while AI may displace white-collar bureaucratic and administrative roles, it will have little to no impact on blue-collar trades such as welding, plumbing, and electrical work. They encouraged younger generations to pursue careers in the skilled trades to ensure long-term job security. While AI can assist with "spot art" and basic copywriting, it currently lacks the talent and physical capability required for most manual labor and high-level creative performance.

A ceasefire between the Congolese army and M23 rebels has failed to stop the displacement of over 200,000 people in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The UN has accused the predominantly Tutsi rebel group of targeting civilians and receiving support from Rwanda. The conflict has created a massive humanitarian crisis near the city of Goma, with many refugees living in fear of booby-trapped homes.

### Correction on WD-40 History and Global Crude Oil Types

- **Episode:** [1483: Jacked Up Joe](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1483-jacked-up-joe.md)
- **Published:** 2022-09-04

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1483-jacked-up-joe/chapter/correction-on-wd-40-history-and-global-crude-oil-types.md

A correction is issued regarding the history of WD-40, confirming the name stands for "Water Displacement, 40th formula," which was originally used to protect Convair Atlas missiles. The discussion clarifies the difference between "sweet crude" and "sour crude" oil, noting that sour crude contains high levels of sulfur and requires more processing. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's recent comments on "dirty" Russian fossil fuels are attributed to this sulfur content.

A historical anecdote claims that WD-40 (Water Displacement, 40th formula) was originally developed to prevent water from freezing on the outer skin of the Atlas rocket during the early space program. The product was designed as a penetrant and water displacer rather than a primary lubricant, specifically to protect the thin-skinned fuel cells of the rocket.
