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.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Surprisingly, they found that the rate of change in the labor market’s makeup in the wake of AI closely matches the pace when computers and the internet were first taking off. In other words, AI doesn’t appear to be more disruptive than those two technologies — at least so far — despite heavy hitters like Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei saying that AI will cause massive upheaval in the world and that entire sectors of jobs will be lost forever.

So jobs are being lost to AI, but the job loss is in line with other disruptions, as opposed to being more outsized. I don't think the emergence of computers and the internet were that un-significant, and there absolutely are job sectors that were lost.
