Not persuaded it will be that many but while mechanisation/robots/new processes hit „manual“ workers, I do think AI is going to make a big hit on „white-collar“ jobs.
Anthropic CEO, Dario Amodei, says AI companies should be taxed as the technology moves to replace 50% of white-collar jobs within 5 years.
If I read this article, CNN requires me to allow them collect and sell (resumably to marketeers and AIs) the following information. I consider this quite rude.
Films, TV shows, and videos that you view (including title and genre, watchlists you compile, and searches you conduct), webpages, apps, and ads you see and interact with, as well as the accounts you link together, including recordings of your interactions with our Services, which may include mouse clicks, mouse movements, keystrokes, and page scrolling. When you use our Service, you consent to the recording of your interactions with us.
why does anyone listen to yang about anything?
AI CEOs continue to not be able to figure out why people don’t like the machine that fires you from your job and also makes your electric bill triple.
How long ago was it that these same pundits said that all of the long haul truckers were going to be replaced by self driving trucks in five years. That failed to happen. Why should anyone believe this will?
Edit : changed self driving cars to self driving trucks.
And then 80% will be brought back after a year when the companies CEO realizes they don’t know shit about how LLM actually work or what they’re good for, and they got duped by a 15min keynote speech claiming they can replace 50% of their workers with AI.
What a bunch of nonsense. The audience of this message is shareholders not you and I. Nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to fuel this bubble more.
Coding assistants have been getting empirically worse over time. I’m not concerned. „AI“ is still a black box, dependent on trial and error
The first jobs that should be eliminated are CEO and other useless executive positions. If AI can handle multiple customer inquiries, then it can certainly handle the four to five tasks and week a CEO does.
Copilot can’t successfully do basic coding for Microsoft’s own products.
Absolute madness.
I don’t believe a thing about it. AI needs input/ data from skilled professionals and also needs proofreading from skilled professionals because it also fantasizes output.
The only problem I see is that it will replace work for beginners and less skilled workers on lower tier projects and to have skilled professionals that can proofread they have to learn and get experienced on lower tier projects making hours. The race to the bottom will have a massive effect on acquiring knowledge from the skilled professionals.
AI is capped to succeed because it needs human knowledge and experience to get better. It cannot stand on its own and never will.
Lol how? AI generally messes up stuff more than it works unless you are specific with your prompts.
Well this all sounds like a fun time. No wonder gold is spiking.
Can we just speed run this and burn all the data centers down?
Starting with useless managers and directors.
UBI is necessary
The corps that don’t employee 80 percent humans. If not, increase in penalty that goes into this UBI fund.
I have no idea how this can measured, I’m sure there is a way.
Every percent higher (less human employee) the greater the UBI tax burden/luxury tax. Similar to how they do it in the NBA.
And Bitcoin will replace all currency.
And the internet will take over the world.
And electricity will kill everyone.
And trains will cause cows to explode.
Don’t fall for this tech bro circle jerk. AI is a next gen search engine and drafting tool that has been dressed up as the 4th industrial revolution to inside investors and dumb money. It’s a circular-deal-fueled explosion of irrational exuberance.
Don’t worry the leaders who never gave a shit about you before will suddenly grow a heart when you are replaced.
AI CEO 5 years from now begging for skilled workers
Oh I thought this said Andrew Ng.. that would have been a more interesting reaction than some politicians take on the situation
Jump off a chair
Pretty much any comment from an AI CEO amounts to: “Man who sells product, really wants you to believe his product is the next big thing.”
Nice, now these bunch of bums can work like the rest of us.
Why should we care what he has to say?
AI still can’t count the number of R’s in the word strawberry, I won’t hold my breath
This is one way to get them to vote democratic.
andrew yang was truly ahead of his time.
