French strike over retirement age vs. an AI future where retirement vanishes by 2050s

France saw a nationwide strike against raising the retirement age from 62 to 64. DrSingularity argues the mostly 20s–40s protesters are furious about 2040s–2060s rules while ignoring how AI, automation, and robotics will reshape employment: by the 2050s the concept of retirement may not exist, as people stop biologically aging — a radical Silicon Valley take on the future of work.
