OBSOLETE
Tagline: Everything can be automated. Including you.
Overview
Obsolete is a satirical web project that explores a future where every job, skill, and human effort is slowly (or aggressively) replaced by automation, algorithms, and Clankers
“When the machine replaces you… what’s left?”
Purpose
- Mock the obsession with automation and AI
- Highlight which skills are most and least replaceable
- Suggest career paths moving forward in this dystopia
Core Concept
Users interact with an interface that:
- Evaluates jobs and skills
- Simulates how automation replaces them step by step
Example:
Frontend Developer — Replaced by a prompt and a coffee-fueled GPU.
