AI takes over all white-collar jobs. He can't compete at manual labor. He becomes poorer than the tradesmen he once told to "learn to code." Forced onto UBI, moves into public housing. But he's not cool--he can't make any friends there either!

Tradesmen tell him, "learn to hammer, bro."
But he can't. Now he's just sub-six-foot biotrash in eyeglasses.
