Again I genuinely believe the big cut will be c-suite positions. The same factors that they think makes it possible to replace technical/productive positions are the exact reasons it can replace executives far more effectively.
It's a perfect manager; no bias or personality clash to effect coordination between teams, and no need to maintain a lavish salary to "attract" some hallucination-prone executive who will run the operation into the ground buying up the real estate nearby and seize up profit-making ventures due to ego. Probably going to be a dumb "managers' strike" eventually when this dawns on them.
I'm wondering when car companies stop pushing for subscriptions and just script a random mileage milestone for the car to immediately right turn into a wall at a good speed so you have to buy a new one.
That you survive is irrelevant, they needs they cut bro.
Yes, trump, bolsanaro, scholz, starmer all the very left wing governments in power have centered on improving the lives of the citizenry, called for peace, pushed unity with the downtrodden in the middle east, and generally been useful to the advancement of the human race.
OH WAIT. Good news for you is when the world is run by nations who don't let the dollar princes run the show you'll still have a place doing a jig in their court.
Nine years and only two frigates built.
Also highly customized so they don't share the same supply chain with the FREMMs which they were based off of. If any ship program was going to be a success, this was one of the best candidates but spitefulness is just being put in all forms of US institutions apparently.
You've got to remember that Europe doesn't want to be an adult, an independent power.
Much like American redhats, European politicians are not in the game to guarantee prosperity for those around them, but to make sure nobody else takes their place as the favored/Teacher's Pet of American capitalists and occasionally give those not in the club a kicking.
Once the "Americans" burn through the generative AI scam and sell a few million AI sex robots that cost as much as cars, they’re basically out of ideas. And from there the plan is to just grab up as many resources as possible and hole up in a bunker somewhere while the world burns.
"Palantir administrator caught selling DHS information to Chinese spies pardoned by President Vance; Citizens affected to serve time."
"Muslim handwashing advocate arrested on socialism, child socialism, child terrorism and terrorism pornography charges."
"Guantamano Capacity Crisis: Bipartisan agreement on final solution."
So in other words this latest bit of adtech is actually creating a recession as managerial jobsworths starve other business sectors to invest in on AI.
I'm in electronics manufacturing. We can't get tools replaced and machines serviced, but the shop supervisor has to relearn his whole process so the "agentic" software management has top-downed on us can take three days to post a requisition.
What a way to gift wrap the century to China. "The Computer knows all. Computer takes 3 days and says no."
The people responsible for making their products so needed that they become part of those (need a degree to flip burgers so the university administrator graft gets their cut, 4 generations ago they cut public transit so you need a car so the automaker bosses get their cut, etc) have no desire to pay for the social security either, so good luck.
Color me cynical. Gen Z leapt into the arms of fuck boys like Adin Ross who preach the "just hustle harder bros just one more small business idea istg bro you'll be SO rich."
Chances are, all they have to do is waggle a government job arresting the "poor" at 90% of them and they'll fall back in line. Terminal dorks. At least the boomers had some real idealists who stayed terminally principled.
The fun thing is that the managers designing and tailoring it don't realize they're only shaping the AI the way they see their subordinates. So it will be more effective in replacing them.
It's completely mind boggling.
I realize "derrr one the libs" but jfc. Coal mining is miserable, dangerous and expensive when there's jobs in it. At least nat gas is a byproduct of petroleum refining that wouldn't be used otherwise, some level of efficiency there.
Indeed. I am impressed as to how absolutely useless most of the institutions are in doing anything constructive for the population.
Let's put the disabled against the wall to save a quid! Let's have police lock people up for Israel and mean tweets! Let's build more surveillance so we can rule instead of actually governing.
If Reform weren't the same just more mask off and blatant, I'd cheer the idea of the masses revoking the mandate of the major parties.
Deeply funny watching people with total political mandate, a media machine to dwarf the Soviet Union, a feckless opposition, big business absolutely salivating to service them, armed partisan militias in 50 states, the love and devotion of the rank and file in the police forces and military, are still blaming the deep state.
If these people ran off a cliff and survived they'd be screeching "WOKE GRAVITY."
Way I see it, if all you need to escape the consequences of straight up lying about the ability of your chatbot is a disclaimer and you're rewarded with billions and prestige, you can just make up shit on your resume, just disclaim it in white text saying: "experimental. Items on this resume may not be accurate."
>It isn't your property until the contract is fulfilled, which happens when the goods are handed over.
I'm sorry??? I realize this isn't convenient to the powers that be but by that point they took the credit card payment which implies a user is 18. They can refuse service outright if they're that skeptical, and indeed that's what the ID laws were meant to incentivize, cribbing from SCOTUS crayon drawings notwithstanding.
Working people again. As always, the powerful say: "You're ugly. You're disgusting. I'm gonna kill you. Give me $200" and they not only comply but hum along, hoping this time, their rich friends and politicians will like them enough to let them into the club.
I wish I was able to move up the ladder and stop being a sucker but I'm not cold-blooded enough to do what needs to be done.
I can't wait. I have at least another 20 years on this rock barring a bullet to the head from some sectarian violence in the American Troubles (also being exacerbated by the pocket yes man). I see my future to be fighting with AI-brained management to actually deliver a competent concept, to then be fighting with younger coworkers who insist "grok told me it was right!"
