For the back half of the 20th century (what Fortune founder Henry Luce called “The American Century”), MBA and law degree programs were a ticket to a great office job and a path to the American Dream. The 21st century is asking the question: What happens when all those office jobs get automated?..

    Oh it’s like fusion. AGI in 18 months, and in 18 months it’ll be another 18 months, and in another 18 months it’ll be yet another 18 months, and in 50 years it’ll be in 18 months.

    By some of the original estimates we’re supposed to all be dead due to a nuclear war genetically engineered virus released by an AI by now. But nope, were all still here, the lying bastards.

    Oh cool so that means Star Citizen will be finished by then, right? AI should be able to build an even better version from scratch in a few hours, surely

      Of course! I’m deeply sorry the previous version didn’t compile. Here is your absolute 100% final working game “star citizen 2” as requested. And this is why it works: (blahblahblah)

    I can’t imagine saying anything so wildly ignorant in my professional career. He should be fired for publicly saying something that makes Microsoft sound like they have no idea what is going on in the real world.

    “You first.”

    Anyone who actually thinks this must not actually do a whole lot and probably could be automated really easily, AI or not.

    Suleyman has been a known bullshitter for years now. Even people who agree with him wished he would shut the fuck up.

      The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. That’s never been more true than now. I think the US bailing out the rich in the last two recessions have perverted the normal risk reward calculations.

    JFC jobs aren’t getting automated they are getting enhanced.

    Work will shift it’s not going away.

    This hyperbolic c suite AI nonsense is pure pump and dump.

      I wouldn’t even strictly say it’s being enhanced. My employer cut 5% under the pretext of AI efficiencies. Those efficiencies being forcing adjacent teams to absorb the responsibilities of the laid off teams and then pointing us to leverage “AI” to overcome the increased workload.

      End result is unqualified and overworked individuals are telling enterprise customers effectively AI slop and customers getting increasingly frustrated. Sure the volume of output has been increased, but the quality has taken massive nosedive which customers are noticing. This has directly led to an increase in churn in Saas.

      So the corporate solution to that? Force those same already overworked individuals to start tracking churn/sales risks when they are being presented to customers as their “service advisor”.
