How would he know that lol
Keep seeing a random article about whatever these AI CEOs say almost every day. What is the point of posting these rage bait articles?
Is this the same guy who said software engineers wouldn’t exist in 6 months
He is just saying what everybody already knows. The layoffs started before ChatGPT was released. It perfectly coincides with the interest rate hikes and the post-COVID overhiring. CEOs are just blaming it on AI, so their layoffs are not seen as a sign of weakness towards the investors.
This is not a case of saying the quiet part out loud. Saying this loud is in his interest.
Wow thanks captain obvious.
Remember the ‘captain obvious’ commercials
I mean obviously, the economy is in the shitter and the future looks absolutely bleak from the tariffs and the illegal offensive war with Iran for Israel. The red lights for an economic crash are going off everywhere — companies are going to trim now ahead of that to weather the storm.
As much as I hate this little prick, he ain’t lying.
Anybody working in tech could have told you that.
Blame the stock market. It rewards companies that say AI is the reason even when it isn’t true (but not provably false).
Then they’ll blame the bubble poppage on him.
Did anyone believe them otherwise?
Duh. Next story please.
Claim AI for the gains and blame AI for the pains.
Dose anyone else see a wall street kinda suck up guy with no eyebrows and a bunch of bad drug habits??
Completely buy it. More often than not they are covering for sonething else.
Anything to distract the media from what an amoral sociopath he is personally.
I made a comment saying this a month or two ago. Got downvoted to oblivion.
Any automation replaces the need for people to do that work manually. AI is just the latest automation tech
Prove it. Give universal Healthcare to people if you can’t.
oh we already know this. companies like microsoft are backtracking on AI including removing positions for AI while rehiring for positions they thought AI would replace. AI is in its infancy and companies thought it would mature overnight. Any layoffs now were either nothing to do with AI or AI has cost the company so much rather than admitting failure they will boost profits by cutting more jobs and then quietly rehire.
That’s a fact and the trend even began prior.
Nothing new here. Every time there is layoffs, they’d find some excuses to blame it on. Conveniently, AI is hot right now so it’s an easy excuse
Pretty obvious it’s because either companies are being cheap or using it as an excuse to hide how bad they’re doing in this economy. It certainly isn’t about using AI to make companies leaner & more efficient. They had lots of time to do this with the current systems they have in place without using AI as an excuse. I guess „we’re firing people because AI“ probably sounds/looks better to them than „we’re firing people because the economy stinks“ eventually it will be more like „we’re going to let AI shoot ourselves in the foot instead of us doing it ourselves.“
Nothing altman says can be considered of any value. He says what people want to hear at all times.
