1) The jobs that AI (the latest generation of computing technology) will largely be isolated to many of the same jobs the previous generation of computers created, facilitated or enabled, and the technology will allow the workers left in a given job to do the work of 10, decimating the demand for any specific set of skills under the previous technical paradigm. The upshot is that - for a time - jobs which are not dependent on computers (e.g. carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen) will be less impacted by the rollout of ML and AI. And while, say, AI may beget only 10% of the previous need for architects using computers to draft, there will remain a need for program managers, prompt engineers, developers, mathematicians and system engineers needed to centrally manage AI and ML systems. 2) Eventually technology will advance the point that corporations push to have androids perform the remaining jobs that only humans could perform (e.g. carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen)and regions will need to have that debate on whether technology and commerce are the more important that human-centricity and a moralized human populace.

It's meaning is to "decimal." To "decimal" is to use decibals in anything, math related or other. If someone goes to you and asks what you are doing while you're doing a math test, tell that you are "decimaling."

To be having fun on ecstasy and sitting in a chair jiving to the grooves closing you eyes for a second and you suddenly lose consciousness and drift out.. (Death)
He was jiving and having a good time to the tunes and sat down in the chair where he closed his eyes for what was supposed to be a second and he decimal'd out... It's tragic... a bad decimal-out it was
