Uh that can't be good
then why job creation is down? I thought it was because AI...unless it isnt and used AI as scapegoat
>>62005997It really isn't. Read any bank report about unemployment, it's about economic uncertainty due to tariffs, war, and interest rates.AI isn't necessary a scapegoat since it does affect unemployment in some contexts, for instance Meta is spending billions on AI so they had to lay off a ton of employees to make their balance sheets look better.
>>62006010then someone is lying either meta or that article
>>62006021I don't see how they're contradictory. Meta spent a shit ton of money on AI stuff so they had to get rid of a lot of people since they were losing too much money
>>62005997This analysis doesn’t make any sense. A growth business would just be able to get more productivity out of the same people. There’d be no reason to cut. These business are failing
>>62005997It definitely is replacing some codercucks. My buddy is shitting his pants rn because opus 4.6 is better than every dev on his team. I thought that he shouldn't worry because only the juniors will be cannibalized but he thinks that companys like his(some b2b saas shit)will have like 2 devs max in the future
Not too surprised.. Having toyed with it a little, it makes a lot of mistakes. It simply sucks in information and regurgitates it without enough critical and instinctive distinction, which cannot be mimicked by technology.As long as brain functions and human or animal instinct isn't completely understood (which impossible due to its complexity) AI cannot replace people.Every type of science has been trying to grasp our behaviour, the way we function and our environment since the dawn of times and has never succeeded. It has given us useful tools and somewhat more understanding but that's it, it is still in constant evolution and self analysis.We have not found our universe to be finite. Even energy sources and physical resources can be switched by others, at least it has been up to now and until proven otherwise (which would mean the end of our world) it will keep changing and evolving, although I am not sure it is the correct terms.
>>62005961>last yearyeah I mean, it wasn't that great for most of the year and most of it was the big players blowing their loads on hardware and infrastructure so that isn't gonna contribute anything to anyone's bottom line... except nvidia.
>>62006064There are virtually no businesses in the tech sector whose bottleneck is their ability to write code. It's like thinking that the only reason we don't have more movies is that typing takes a really long time
>>62005961AI is definitely a help thoughMy company is using it for all the bureaucracy shit and it saves an assload of hours But I assume most people who got fired due to it haven't found a new job yet, so while productivity went up thanks to AI, it's less people working, leading to the same end result

>>62006143I hate this lil nigga like you wouldn’t believe
>>62005961If there was zero growth explain how Trump managed to double US steel production in one year
>>62006171that right bar is definitely more than double the left bar. why are you lying about this
It takes away lol. AI probably saved me over $100k in having to hire people last year because I was able to just do everything myself. Profits stayed the same though. SO, in some way maybe AI will keep more businesses from "failing" and going bankrupt because it dramatically reduces overhead.
>>62006171FUCKING KEK
Mass automation won't grow the economyIt will just swell up the marginsI reckon ai will be such a good general-purpose device that it will eliminate more transactions than make new ones, and thus shrink the economy.If we consider the economy's size to be proportional to the complexity of our supply chains, then mass white collar automation ai could land us on the other side of the complexity curve because it so good at streamlining stuff
>>62006417Well the trouble is we're 8 trillion dollars deep and haven't found what it's good for yet
>>62006475I don't believe you the ai industry could not have possibly earmarked $8tn already
I use AI daily to write weight gain smut every day to jerk off
>>62006545Open AI said they were considering doing smut models since they're some of the only ones making money
>>62006171Yep, definitely a chart made by Nvidia
>>62006625wtf i love open ai now
>>62006010Uncertainty is bad for business, yes, which is why Congress needs to be the one to pass tariffs.But uncertainty doesn't create layoffs. Cutting workers with TACO Don in charge is not a smart move given you might need those workers after he chickens out. The better solution is to move from salary/wages to commission if the business doesn't want the uncertainty.Interest rates are indeed a real cause for slow hiring and layoffs.Also "COVID overhiring."But the COVID overhiring is really about FAKE JOBS that existed in the economy since forever.COVID showed that the only essential workers in the economy are grocery store workers making minimum wage.If you aren't working at a grocery store, you're entire salary is ficticious and you produce no real value.The problem is that if you cut those fake jobs, your entire fake economy will collapse as you kill the demand for your fake goods.
