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?
at the same time bill gates said the same thing, with different words.
Looking at most of the comments, it seems reading past the headline isnt real work either, as no one wants to do it… lol.
Not with that kind of headline, no.
Great, so now I did read it and it was a waste of time. I blame you Bunny Boy.
Terrible headline.
I’m so sad to see the best possible way to legitimize a Universal Basic Income being wasted
And here I thought it was going to be him referencing Graeber in a way that indicates he never read the full book or understood its point. But nope, dumber.
Altman, if the masses are unemployed and you’re fabulously wealthy, well, read a history book to see what happens.
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.
If jobs replaced by LLMs and image generators aren’t real work, then what work did those steal from?
AI doesn’t create value. It extracts value from the work of millions of people. Fuck Sam Altman.
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
Sam is UI, Unintelligent.
Like CEOs.
Vive la revolution!
You first, Sam.
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.
Read the article before replying. Too late for some of you anyways.
