When I see this all I get is “another guy quoted saying AI is going to change the world to try and delay the inevitable crash”

Interesting, we truly are in unprecedented times. Its actually fascinating that the end product of capitalism is the self destruction of capitalism.

The alternative (doing jobs that could be done just as well by a machine, assuming we reach that point) is ridiculous though.Â

Okay then, and who is going to buy the things those jobs create or sell?
Where is the buying power gonna come from if there is no jobs for the people?

If that’s true, it will also wipe out 40 million customers who no longer have the money to buy what these companies that now use AI are offering.

Good time to start a wall building company. Anyone with means will start gating themselves off like they do in 3rd world countries.

Techbro who once shilled crypto as next big thing, now shills next tech as next big thing.
Now I’m just waiting for the money fueled furnace to run out of fuel. And I want to see people in jail after this.

If no one has a job, then monetizing people’s information is useless when no one can afford to buy your shit? Ad sales would plummet and income streams dry up. Ai everything is a stab wound to yourself imo.

Andrew Yang is also a ding dong and a Musk sycophant. Neither party wants him so he’s making his own and cozying up with Musk. What is Musk **heavily** invested in again?

There’s something ironic about less developed countries being more economically resilient to technological advancement. Wonder how many other civilizations out advanced themselves.
I still can’t help but be skeptical. I think the inevitable loss of the Trade Wars will have a much more serious affect on the US economy.

History is quite clear on what authoritarian regimes and oligarchs do to people it deems expendable. Anyone who thinks the ultra rich and powerful are going to share even a tiny bit of their wealth to keep society stable is incredibly naive.

So that’s 40 million fewer customers for the big corporations.

Man I shoulda just done something in healthcare, but ended up focusing on data science. This entire AI BS sucks. It was supposed to make life better, not make us all want to jump off a bridge.
How is everybody ok with this. Governments are all a joke. Everything has somehow kept getting worse and worse post COVID.

Andrew yang pushing for universal basic income will be seen as someone who was correct, ahead of their time, and failed anyways.

40 million US jobs = 40 million people to keep busy and happy otherwise they will turn against the oligarchs.
And with 1+ gun per capita in the US, you don’t want that huge well armed militia looking for target practice.

Society will adapt. We will focus on being “makers” vs knowledge workers. Plumbers, food manufacturers, etc.
Stuff like accounts payable, taxis, forkies, lawyers, accountants, etc are totally fucked

White collar jobs will be the first to suffer from AI. Blue collar jobs will still be around until automation comes after AI

Translation: Idiot CEO’s may layoff up to 40 million people for the biggest grift in history.

Tech bros are relatively divorced from the shop floor. I don’t doubt there’ll be savings made but 40Million is a headline grabber.

The title would be some of the best news since the turn of the century, but the rich are sociopaths.

Hahaha yeah AI workslop isn’t gonna take anyone’s job

And year after these companies will need to hire 40m workers again to clean up mess made by AI. I guess soon we going to see more critical service outages, user data leaks, and other issues that will cost millions or even billions to these companies.

So why on Earth are we doing this at this point? This is the wealthy saying: “Starve. Disappear. Billions and billions of people, die for my comfort.” This is a deliberate attack on 99% of the planet. And nobody gives a crap?

According to Trump AI will wipe out 400% of the jobs.

It’s only a question of the effectiveness of the technology. If the technology is capable of actually replacing jobs in practice, then it absolutely will. It’s not like corporations are going to keep paying people to do the same jobs if they can pay machines to do it for less.
JorgeAndTheKraken on
I look forward to no one doing absolutely anything about this.

Many jobs could have been wiped out just by using common sense, working processes and if-else tier programming scripts. That was already long before AI became a thing.Â
