I imagine lots of ugly social media posts promising ugly things but probably not a whole lot else, since “Revolt” isn’t a clickable item on a menu. I’m speaking only as an American - we’ve become a people who buy bags of pre-shredded lettuce and pre-grated cheese. You can’t expect much action from us if it takes us very far from a phone charger.
That’s why these pedo losers all built bunkers
Jobs have already been disappearing. Entry level programming jobs have been wiped out.
Senior positions are being let go too. My previous employer dropped almost all the senior people and replaced them with juniors with copilot accounts.
I look forward to reading the company autopsy in a year.
Good luck finding senior programmers in a decade eh
They’re getting their money now. The future doesnt matter to them.
Yeah, they love to sell tomorrow for today
I work in IT and as such I work in AI because there’s no getting away from the hype in my line of work.
But I don’t believe in it and I think it can be very harmful for society. I see a few nice things about it (people with disabilities for example) but mostly negative.
To be honest I’m looking forward to the news of datacenters going up in flames. Which I’m pretty sure will happen when people start losing their jobs en masse.

I’m not really getting raises for a couple years, despite being a can do high performer. So now I just use AI to do mediocre work, and only work around 3-4hrs per day.
Is your company hiring? 😅
AI allows you to quiet quit without shitty bosses noticing. Win win :/
What I have noticed thispast year is that higher ups aren’t really understanding the total cost of AI solutions. They go use sites to have conversations with the most powerful LLMs not realizing that your company is not going to afford that level of tech. Your current IT infrastucture can’t add a few dozen high power/high cost systems to train the model for your business’s nuance. It is never a build it and forget it problem.
Additionally there is a skill of humans being easily retrained for other tasks. Creating a Jack of All Trades will net you a great workforce with people filling roles when you have medical leave, turnover and business pivots. AI isn’t general enough to make this change without major redesign.
The only “problem” with this amazing skill is that companies no longer run on the idea of employee retention. You get promoted by jumping ship. Working harder doesn’t make the headway in a company like it used to 25+ years ago.
Nothing will happen.
Frogs in a pot of water being brought to a boil.
Those in charge will handwave away the job losses and blame some other factor for the economic downturn other their own shortsighted greed while they cry for their bailouts.
Lol please. America already gutted its entire industrial base to the point where there’s a permanent shortage of blue collar jobs, and most people are working crappy wages in a service role for whichever megacorp owns the entire market.
AI could take over tomorrow and there wouldn’t be enough people to care, despite getting utterly screwed over.
It might only get ugly if purchasing power collapses and causes solvency. Otherwise it’ll just continue to degrade into an infinite debt economy which is basically just generational slavery like a significant portion of exploited labor and human trafficking already is.
Don’t worry though, there’s a million other problems that’ll probably pop the bubble first anyway lol.
I actually like using AI in my workplace to rid the need for tedious data entry. But i realised that if I told people about it, the management might see that they may not need me anymore so i won’t teach anyone how to efficiently use AI.
“If”? 🤔
AI hasn’t taken anyone’s job.
The Epstein class use AI as an excuse to fire thousands and artificially lower wages to keep the plebs in check for the next few decades.
I’ve personally seen multiple departments eliminated because they would rather send the jobs to Indian sub contractors backed by AI.
Right so it was outsourced to Indians. Thats old news.
It wouldn’t have been without AI. They believe telling them to use AI is cheaper.
Loss of jobs is a distraction. People can get other jobs. If jobs can be automated cheaply, they should be. The problem is how the economy treats people who need to switch jobs and what it means for their income. Automate truck driving, please, but make sure ex-truck drivers are taken care of and can move on to other jobs that need doing.
Edit: I’ll make an exception for jobs that need human interaction. There is a limit to automating things like care or service jobs because most people also need human interaction. And give those people decision making power, too, not this “computer says no” hellscape customer service workers have to go through
lotta of the doom and gloom from this thing is just symptoms from the worst underlying aspects of that unique US-dystopia. where most working class are 1 or 2 missed paychecks away complete ruin. the states/cities have better safety nets than others but across most of the country…might as well be non-existent outside of the handful of scraps the feds throw down (when those arent being actively fucked with by republicans)
Bullish on scrap yards. Death to clankers.
