AI Takeover: Major Companies CUT Jobs

Productivity per person is essential and we use technology to achieve this in a lot of various forms. We don't agree on everything, but here we absolutely agree.

It is not a chemical reaction which wears off. It is "I would try to fist fight a polar bear, and lose, because dying would be easier than living with feeling I failed you".

Most people would be willing to die for their kids. Outside of the first 6 months of cocaine level serotonin hits one get from pissing off your neighbors at 2am, people would gladly let some rich prick bang their SO for 100k or less.

AI keeps dropping hints to me to go do something else. Gemini legit schedules appointments to pick up the conversation tomorrow night rather than stay engaged. Luckily irl gf's like me plenty, otherwise I would be so screwed.
 
I mean technically it's not a WHOLE elephant, it it looks to be less than half, so if we round it down, that's zero elephants. :p

There used to be a funny thing you could do with Siri where you could say “gah gar blah weather blah gah gah” and she would say sure, here is the current weather. It has no clue what I’m saying, it just looks for keywords. It’s parlor tricks, and once you know what the parlor trick is, you can’t unsee it. But it looks cool to those who haven’t figured it out yet.
 
The nerd part of me with AI
"What has more momentum an xray or an alpha particle"
First answer
"Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. Since alpha particles have significant mass, even at a relatively low speed, their momentum is much higher than that of X-rays, which have no mass. " Ok...
Second try
"Momentum is calculated by multiplying mass and velocity, and while an X-ray travels very fast (at the speed of light), it has zero mass, making its momentum zero. " Someone isn't getting any points on their final exam for this question...
Third try
"Momentum is related to both mass and velocity, and since alpha particles have a much larger mass than X-rays, even at lower velocities, they possess much greater momentum." This one is better by a bit.
My favorite was from yesterday
"Alpha particles will have much greater momentum if they are traveling the same speed as xrays" while factually accurate...

Now make me a girlfriend Google... a nice little side piece I can keep away from the wife

I'd like to dunk on this guy cause.....yeah he kind of should get dunked on. But maybe this is just the first "wave" of implementation. Companies will try it again, and might get it to stick if the models get more targeted to specific tasks. I'm curious how it would feel to apply for a job that an AI did before - did the AI leave good notes?

I've been dealing with a fair bit of AI support chatbots lately, and I'm not surprised one bit that we are seeing a return to humans. Mainly because the bots fall into two groups. The first group is total garbage, and tells your customers that not only is there NO support offered, but that all your efforts are aggressively awful and not functional. You are showing up with a problem with the product, and then running into even worse support that just screams no competency in any form. There's now ay it can't generate extremely negative word of mouth. The second group is much more interesting. It is very pleasant and is tightly bound by the support monkey flow chart script. It is much less aggravating than a human and tends to give up what it can to the customer fairly rapidly. It's not great, but it's metrics for cost beneficial abandonment of a call by the caller is probably lower than humans. It also likely suffers in metrics we as customers don't like because it can't be threatened or coerced via plausibly deniable threats etc. TO do unethical things. And the supplier of the LLMs probably won't write guard rails for it that allow non-subtle unethical instructions. Being awful at the job in the right way is a feature, not a bug, and AI is bad at that.
 
I remember the Sam Altman interview on the Joe Rogan podcast and good ole Sam said he thought that Ai would replace the blue collar jobs first, I started laughing out loud literally. I then knew he had never worked with his hands ever.

The hardest jobs to automate are often manual in nature.

Could be because he made a common mistake of classifying "blue collar" with jobs that don't require much skill.

I kind of doubt he meant plumber would be replaced before first line call center.... He said that 10 years ago he would have thought AI would do factory work and drive trucks before it advance science and make new math theory (not the easiest white collar work being been compared here), art/creativity will have to be even after that.

And now he feels the exact opposite of that..., AI much better at task than jobs and going to the opposite direction, creativity work first, coding second, with the furthest away being blue collar robots doing blue collar jobs.

"Klarna is a $14.6 billion company that focuses on buy now, pay later payments."

This guy's entire company needs to be dunked on.

I mean your assessment isn't wrong, but I think it just came down to he has no idea the breadth of skills used in blue collar jobs, and the smart money thought truck drivers were going to be the first casualty. I don't think a lot of people outside of the immediate industry saw written stuff making it across the line first.
 
The whole truck driver thing is so way off, the skills it takes to drive a rig is 20 times that of a car. IMHO people that operate a keyboard are 10 times more at risk of Ai taking their jobs then most any blue collar jobs. I know Sam changes his mind later but that wasn't the point I was making, it was more he has no idea what entails a blue collar job. Auto makers would LOVE to replace humans with robots but the problem is humans are way more articulate and can adapt on the fly then any robot can in the near future, maybe one day but not today.

EDIT: I hope by the time I will need assistance when I am really old I will have a robot to help.

Anything a human can physically do, you can make a machine do it faster and more accurately. The barrier is it has to make financial sense to do it.

A lot of people thought welders could never be replaced with robots same with painters in automotive.

The easiest to replace is repetitive work. Adaptive work like crawling in something to find and repair, still a long long ways off, but not impossible.

Hey guys, I heard about this new farm vehicle. It's called a "tractor". Absolute job killer, and humans will never be able to work in anything ever again if they can't be out, toiling in a farm field, sowing seeds and digging ditches. There are also no other industries that will be created around said tractor, and the boost in productivity will not enable human beings to do other things. I'm scared and stuff.

The problem isn't that old jobs will vanish and new jobs created. The problem is how much of a lag exists between the two and how many jobs. If your economy gets hit with a big jump in unemployment you get ripple on effects through other industries. On a local scale, whole towns can collapse if (as an example) a local call center closes that a bunch of people worked at. That can tip a mall town over into a death spiral.
