Maybe we should figure out which jobs aren't bullshit jobs.

With our efficiency there would be loads of people left out, maybe we should reinstate jobs like artists (real ones, not bullshit artists)?

Probably quite a few, but don’t let the fact they’re bullshit jobs fool you into thinking they don’t matter. The middle manager making $100K a year is spending that money on food, clothing, and other items that are produced by people who don’t have bullshit jobs.

This is exactly right, and a lot of AI sceptics don’t see it. It doesn’t matter if the AI can’t do your job. If company execs are convinced it can, or they think this is a good excuse, they will fire you. When/if the bubble bursts years later, they are already at their next gig, nobody will care that they were wrong.

We’re really about to have AI turn a few bullet points into a report for another AI to summarize with a few bullet points instead of getting rid of reports that only exist to keep uninvolved leeches “in the loop”

In this ‘hypothetical scenario’ all the reports are also taking place within a college advancement office, an institution that employs hundreds of people to solicit gifts from wealthy people that can be invested in wealthy people’s companies so that future college costs can be offset by the dividends paid out by the constant growth of these propped up businesses. Enshrining the current world order instead of imagining a world where heads of businesses don’t make so much extra money that it’s worth wining and dining them in an effort to get them to share a bit of the money they took back with you (for you to give back to them) (and their friends want some too of course) (hypothetically)

Sounds like I don't have much to worry about in that I do building maintenance. AI isn't doing my job for a long time.
