it's great that one of the main dicks in charge of AI uses pants-on-head stupid not-logic to justify taking water away from literally everything else for a thing that doesn't work, but still steals jobs
If it's stealing real jobs, perhaps it is time you should reconsider the 'doesn't work' perspective.
It seems to work just fine my dude.
Millions of people use homoeopathic medicine instead of visiting doctors. That doesnt mean homoeopathy works.
It's basically overprized placebo, but the placebo effect is real. Honestly not sure how well this translates to company profits; shareholder value can definitely work like that, though - it increases because people think that whatever the company is doing will increase profits, not because it actually does.
just because companies are trying to replace humans with AI doesn't mean AI is "working"

i would say i hope this all underscores how little employers ever actually gave a shit about their employees, but that would be wishful thinking. not only are they not capable of giving less of a shit about you, but they're also gullible enough to jump on this AI bandwagon that they grasp no understanding of beyond what they're told by the ~~people~~ con men selling it to them
It appears to be working, to execs and CEOs. But this will eventually be a problem when you are missing skilled workers who can handle things AI cannot.
thats why they are trying to get india to build the datacenters for them right now, and outsourcing some of the workers there.
