it’s great that one of the main dicks in charge of AI uses pants-on-head stupid not-logic to justify taking water away from literally everything else for a thing that doesn’t work, but still steals jobs
If we restructured society in a way that makes increases in efficiency benefit everyone I’d be fine with such things. The difference here is, however, that we don’t live in such a society and that LLMs aren’t actually useful or better at work that people are, it’s just that managers and CEOs think they are. They will realize this in a few years after most of their software is fucked over and they’ll have to hire actual developers to fix it.
i would say i hope this all underscores how little employers ever actually gave a shit about their employees, but that would be wishful thinking. not only are they not capable of giving less of a shit about you, but they’re also gullible enough to jump on this AI bandwagon that they grasp no understanding of beyond what they’re told by the people con men selling it to them
It appears to be working, to execs and CEOs. But this will eventually be a problem when you are missing skilled workers who can handle things AI cannot.
It’s basically overprized placebo, but the placebo effect is real. Honestly not sure how well this translates to company profits; shareholder value can definitely work like that, though - it increases because people think that whatever the company is doing will increase profits, not because it actually does.

The problem is we want increases in efficiency that benefit 99% of people but the 1% want the opposite and can override everyone else.
ALSO TO note, one of THIELS other proteges.
If it’s stealing real jobs, perhaps it is time you should reconsider the ‘doesn’t work’ perspective.
It seems to work just fine my dude.
just because companies are trying to replace humans with AI doesn’t mean AI is “working”

thats why they are trying to get india to build the datacenters for them right now, and outsourcing some of the workers there.
Millions of people use homoeopathic medicine instead of visiting doctors. That doesnt mean homoeopathy works.
