You know in certain animal groups when a member of the herd or whatever becomes a danger to the rest of the group, say through some kind of disease or injury or increased aggression or mental issue, that heard will eliminate the threat to the herd.
if we don’t do it, our adversaries will do it

@remington he said that AI is going to hurt women and help working class males? This is just rubbish, it’s not a shocking confession. Working class males? I think you’re referring to service production jobs and those are not increasing based on AI. So the CEO is trying to appeal to them by throwing women on a burning cross as usual. If men would stop agreeing to sacrifice women, we would be a much more powerful force of proletariat. And we don’t want AI to be in charge of us
I'd not have put the clickbait "shocking" in the hed, but regardless, we're running out of things to take off. Masks, gloves ... they want us totally naked, and preferably underage.
maybe heads will be next..
I know! Let's take off our heads!
I half agree with you and @Mercurial@todon.nl – the "shocking" part is mostly that he would pitch this directly in public, but the "confession" part is more of an offer or a wish
I like the idea that they think that educated jobs only belong to women. That's an interesting thought.
The sad truth is that this shit isn't going to replace "highly educated" jobs, and that the AI gravy train will end once people start to enforce basic intellectual property enforcement. Time is ticking, and the market taking a hit now is making them scramble.
Given that copy desks were being gutted more than a decade ago just with little things like Grammarly, it absolutely will replace knowledge jobs. It won't be better, but it will mean more share buybacks.
It doesn't need to be good to replace jobs, as long as there are no consequences for the people making those decisions.
I've lost count of how many "oops, it was AI's fault, not my fault!" stories I've heard, even within highly regulated fields. Like, lawyers submitting documents with completely fake citations, and then...no real consequences. Seems to me like that should be cause for immediate disbarment, but no, apparently not.
The lack of consequences has been a problem for quite a while now, from before LLMs. In my opinion it's been caused by a widespread increase in professional incompetence, together with a mutually protective network of incompetent people. "I won't point out that you're incompetent and won't blame you for your mistakes, if do me the same favour".
They call it "imposter syndrome", but it isn't a syndrome: it's a symptom.
Indeed: Everything was already AI
This has been a very long project — separating conduct from consequences, in order to maximize profit. AI is just a breakthrough tool for doing it.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
