Ai isn't good enough to take many jobs
You give jobs today, too much credit. We have a danish book called: "How we got busy doing Nothing" (translated) which describes how more and more workers, which needs to work a 37 hour week, had to come up with fucked up processes just to make the job a little more complicated, how meetings has been the new norm instead of doing actual work. When I red the article, this is the people I am thinking of. Agile coaches, middle leaders, schedulers, people who manually put data into sheets documents. This is a lot of fucking people, atleast at my office. I am not scared (yet) since I still manage all the hardware componants in the car-rooms etc. But all the other people. What will they do when a 18EUR/month AI can replace a 4685EUR/Month co-worker?
But it can be sold as good enough to credulous management, thereby still doing damage by getting people laid off in the short term.
There's this famous quote about investing which goes: "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent". I think that equally holds for the labor market. Just because you and everyone around you knows your job can't be replaced by AI, doesn't mean there won't be an attempt to replace you which lasts long enough for you to lose your house.
you guys keep saying this but I know a company or two companies or a lot of companies actually
