He’s right. AI isn’t doing a good job anyway. If a company can “”“replace”“” (cut) jobs like that and survive, the position is useless.
The question is, is it truly so? Or did this move start the company’s doomsday clock?
Maybe if billionaire oligarchs fall out of windows and the world keeps turning, billionaire oligarchs weren’t really needed either.
look I love to shit on AI, but this is a fucking terrible misleading headline
The thing about that farmer,” Altman said, is not only that they wouldn’t believe you, but “they very likely would look at what you do and I do and say, ‘that’s not real work.'”
This, Altman said, makes him feel “a little less worried” but “more worried in some other ways.”
“If you’re, like, farming, you’re doing something people really need,” Altman explained. “You’re making them food, you’re keeping them alive. This is real work.” But the farmer would see our modern jobs as “playing a game to fill your time,” and therefore not a “real job.”
“It’s very possible that if we could see those jobs of the future,” Altman said, we’d think “maybe our jobs were not as real as a farmer’s job, but it’s a lot more real than this game you’re playing to entertain yourself.”
Reading it like this: He is right. But my conclusion is most likely very different to the one OpenAi is offering. Thinking of David Graeber.
Yeah that’s way different, thanks for sharing.
Funny enough an AI would do his type of job very well. Spout bullshit and hallucinate an outcome, with just enough factual information to sound plausible. Sounds like a ceo to me.
in idiocracy, the AI controls the society , no bosses, no csuites, no middle management but it built its “AI” on stupid peoples experiences.
I’m so sad to see the best possible way to legitimize a Universal Basic Income being wasted
at the same time bill gates said the same thing, with different words.
Sam Altman doesn’t work a real job.
CEOs certainly do no real work.
Yes they’re egregiously overpaid and they need to stop that, but see what hypothetically happens when CEO & entry-level employee trade places: https://youtube.com/shorts/BOa_rd0f0rQ
Self awareness at an all time low there Sammy boy….
Well then say goodbye to all the CEOs. I’m sure an LLM could figure out how to do a better job than them and they have no golden parachutes either!
One argument is that CEOs exist to take the blame when things go wrong. You can only do that once with an LLM, and then everything goes back to a human.
Blame? The CEOs? Really?
Yes. Line goes down, it’s their fault.
They get a golden parachute, yes, but their purpose is to take that golden parachute.
This actually jives well with the concept of the business idiot. https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-era-of-the-business-idiot/
AI is being promoted by the business idiots because they see how it makes their job disposable. On the other hand, people who do work know that AI isn’t actually that useful.
Jobs. Get.
I guess Yahoo’s headline writing AI doesn’t understand subject verb agreement. Unless Altman is talking about Steve Jobs, who is dead.
If Steve Jobs gets wiped out…
If billionaires meet Luigi, maybe they weren’t even real people to start with?
Like CEOs.
Vive la revolution!
“If my AI is capable of doing it, it was a shit job. Subscribe to my AI.”
