I’ve been thinking about the rise of AI in the job market lately, and I wanted to get your thoughts on it. According to recent reports, AI eliminated around 4,000 jobs in the US in May alone, and it seems like this number will only continue to rise. This raises some important questions about the future of work and the impact of automation. Are you concerned about AI taking over jobs? How do you think it will affect employment in the next few years?

    If you’re job is shuffling tokens, your going to be out of a job in the next decade or more.

    Writing, reports, code, reviewing, decision making, creative work, managing, Basically anything white collar these days. If you’re job doesn’t touch the physical world, AI will be better than you.

    Here’s the reasons it will take your jobs:

    1. AI is cheaper than humans
    2. AI is faster then human
    3. AI lies and makes mistakes, but it’s likely already less than the average human, and getting better.
    4. AI doesn’t sleep
    5. AI can work at maximum capacity without breaks

    Here’s the reasons why it won’t take jobs that rich the physical world:

    1. Robots are more expensive than people
    2. robots still require upkeep
    3. people are hesitant to give AI a form that’s also physically stronger than they are

    The future won’t be a SaaS or other business service doing b2b engagements, it will be businesses that touch the real world getting AIs to perform those tasks automatically with prompts. Steel producers won’t need accountants, warehouse software, and a legal team. They just have AI that can do what they need to that day.

      The only thing I haven’t seen AI take on successfully yet is liability. Who do you sue if your accountant AI loses a bunch of money?

      I have seen huge corps buy stuff and employ a lot of people just to have scapegoats.
