Facts. I had five requests for “AI workforce optimization strategies” last quarter. People paying big bucks to find out their bright vision of the future is fucking dead end over and over again is kinda fascinating. There are ways to implement AI to improve specific parts of the workflow. Busywork mostly but nevertheless - it can work. However, none of it works in tandem with saving money on having fewer people on the team. The only real tangible benefit of implementing AI tools at this point is that your team members burn out a bit slower.
When society stops working where are those motherfuckers going to spend their bonuses?

They want this not realizing they are one of the weakest links in any organization.
Of course, and we really really want to replace bosses with AI. Why aren’t you doing that?
If you have a shit boss, resign, found a company doing whatever your shit boss’s company was doing but do it for 10% the price because you use AI for the administrative crap.
My shitty company provides wireless service for 146 million customers. Banks have so far refused to lend me the few billion I’d need to open up my own shop.
I really just want to fast-forward to where the AI bubble pops at this point. They’ve got me horny to see it burn down and keep delaying my payoff.
As much as I have moral qualms regarding IP theft, snowballing unsecured debt, VC tulipmania, useless rotting empty data centers – I hope for all our sake’s we can manage a somewhat soft landing. But the longer the mania goes on, the less likely that’s going to be, maybe.
I think we are far beyond the point where a soft landing is possible. It will be a hard landing, and all we can do is to prepare for the impact.
its a form of constructive dismissal, thier pressure tactics dint work fast enough or large enough, so they have to use AI to arbitrarily do this.
There was someone who said something like “The purpose of AI is to allow the wealthy to access the benefits of the skilled, without allowing the skilled to access the benefits of wealth”.
All of history really is just the wealthy consistently waging class warfare on everyone else, with the latter occasionally fighting back.
Except that without building that expertise all the experts will die with no one to replace them.
There was an episode of Star Trek TNG where that had happened and the aliens’ society broke down when their computers went haywire because nobody could fix them.
there was one in lower decks and futurama. they had AI that controlled the society, when it started malfunctioning they need an advanced race to fix it.
And Stargate.
the episode with that device that wipes out an enemy force by sacrificing a human life with an energy wave, they dint know to fix that tech because regressed it over centuries. and the other one where sg1 encountered a ppl living under a shield-dome that was losing power-integrity, they dint know how to fix it, same thing they purposely regressed it.
There might have been some important information in the thread above me but I can’t be bothered to read and comprehend it so I put it into my AI and it said I should vote for Musk and jello was purple.
There’s only one problem though, AI can’t do our jobs.
We all know this. They do not. They probably look at the code generated, and the running product, and say look, it did your job. They ignored the vulnerability findings. They ignored the infrastructure settings, and the routine maintenance that will require updates and changes.
They ignored design patterns, and architecture, and the things that make it easy to support in the future.
“Move fast and break things” works until it breaks your entire business model.
I am not worried about the prospect of the economy no longer requiring human labor.
I am worried about people in power and what they will do once they no longer have to rely on everyone else to do their bidding.
Same thing as before, except now with robots! The wealthy don’t want us poors to live. Soon as they can unlock eternal life and peopleless labor, we all die. Ever question why our healthcare is always reactionary while theirs is all preventative?
Article is 🔥
It’s really wild to see a mass delusion at such scale like this. I do hope it all comes crashing down soon, before they can do even more damage…
AI workforce replacement is absolutely necessary if we are ever to achieve the mission of the Georgia Guidestones
Georgia Guidestones
Oh no, how will we live 1,000,000 years?
They’re gonna try to fire you anyway, as it’s the only way to hit the profit target.
I was recently fired and replaced by AI (Actual Indians).
I refer to em as anonymous indians, but same. Little does AI know but PCRL is going to eat it’s lunch. PCRL stands for Polite Costa Rican Labor.
I think people need to chill the fuck out with this narrative. When the industrial revolution came, I’m sure everyone said “now the rich factory workers don’t need craftsmen anymore!!”. The world was fine, people still have jobs today. The jobs change. The market for software, for example, is nearly unlimited - you COULD fire some staff and do the same amount of stuff that you were doing, or you could DO MORE and expand the business
You ignore the abject human suffering that came in the wake of the industrial revolution. It ushered in, imediately after, a period of such misery it is abhorant to ignore.
I think that this is a very reasonable point on it’s face, but the knife only ever seems to cut one way. Do you have an example of a business that has meaningfully grown due to AI instead of the deluge of layoffs that get printed in articles every day?
I think people are reacting to what they DO see in real life, and the idea that it COULD result in more jobs… only seems to show up in discussions. I’m obviously not asking for an example the same scale as all the tech companies laying off 100,000s of people and blaming AI, but whatever proof has informed your opinion would go a long way towards supporting your point in a way that debating can’t.
is that why the Luddites decided to smash the machines? they must’ve been in an euphoric state from how good the industrialists were treating them so they decided to reward them wirh a free maintenance check using hammers.
bootlickers everywhere, man
The world was fine aside from like the triangle shirtwaist fire and child labor and company scrip and all sorts of other horrors
factory workers don’t need craftsmen anymore … The market for software, for example, is nearly unlimited
Enjoy your shitty and buggy IKEA software.
You know batman having an unrerage sidekick wasn’t even considered weird because they had orphans that age dying in factories
