Ummm...Interesting, I wonder how many patents relating to fusion and fusion related technology have been in the last 60 years? The last piece of the relevant article in Popular Mechanics is suitably non-comital:

The War Zone reports that the device could potentially produce more than a terawatt of energy while only taking in power in the kilowatt to megawatt range. We don’t currently have an energy source that can produce more power than is needed to create it.

We’re getting close, though, according to Seeker. The International Nuclear Fusion Research, a collaborative experiment to build the largest-ever instrument that houses these reactions, called a tokamak, could do this when it boots up in 2025.

Of course, developing the necessary infrastructure to get this energy out of the lab and into our cars and homes is still a long ways away. But we can still dream

(For some idea of the timescale of fusion development the first tokamak went into operation in the early 80's....and we are not just around that particular corner yet..)

Current Airline pilots are not about to lose their careers due to AI, their offspring will IMHO be probably be able to "enjoy" a full career ...as others have said whether the future T&Cs make it a sensible career path to follow is different matter altogether.
