Hundreds of thousands of jobs are being lost in the US alone this year.

It's only going to ramp up, and it'll be millions in the upcoming years.

Why is AI a good thing again?

>Why is AI a good thing again?
it's not but techniggers deserve it
>>
It's due to tariffs, not AI.
>>
>>107040250
Now show how many H1B do they bring in. Also US economy is generally in horrendous shape right now, it just looks good because AI investments are counted as part of GDP.

Hwat's stopping people who dislike AI from writing (asking a chatbot to write) a script that asks prompts that produce long, nonsensical responses, one after the other?
>>
>>107040387
If you want to waste their tokens as much as possible you would need to use agents, and to use agents you need to pay for the API. And even just wasting their money manually or with shitty script you would be doing basically nothing aside from wasting enormous amounts of electricity, and lot of people who hate AI don’t want to waste electricity out of protest.
>>
So thats it? No riots? No hacking? Nothing?
You guys are not going to kill yourselves are you?
Theres the suicide hotline. Theres also backpages if you need a hooker. Its legal nobody its going to prosecute it this day.
>>
>>107040408
I'm confident you could easily net a loss for OpenAI even paying for agents. They literally don't make money on any level of their payment plan.
>>
>>107040451
Bros theyre laying off all this people with the chatbots corporations are paying for it dummy.

>>107040250
A job does not have an inherent value. It is a headache for the employer but more importantly it is a non stop suffering for the employee. The only people who say jobs are good are people who don’t work. If companies can make their money without relying on having people waste their time before shit screens for 8 hours a day it will be awesome. That said, money is necessary and some compromise like a minimum wage UBI with cut social welfare programs as a tradeoff could be done. Work sucks though, and many people would prefer not to work even if it means s their income drops.
>>
>>107040451
Idk, sure they are a money pit but a money pit that investors believe in, so when they run out of cash because everyone is genning too much sora ragebait videos Sammy will just go on his 18th fundraising round talking about how he will cure cancer while Google Deepmind does the actual cancer research using AI that every nigger company claims to be doing. Oh, did you know that Google Deepmind, NVIDIA and few Chinese companies are the only AI companies producing AI models that aren’t just slop generators?
>>
>>107040473
Niggers like you assume that UBI is this victory condition for humanity that we can only achieve once we have everything automated, but it’s the other way around. People figured out that too much automation will eventually cause massive societal problems and one of the solutions to this was UBI. But we don’t need to all lose jobs to make UBI happen, we could have UBI right now if we elected government that promised that. And the economic problems with UBI now would still happen in the future when everyone is jobless.

AI is an excuse for cheap Wog labor.
>>
>>107040250
if transformers-based math can replace your job, you deserve to be replaced.
also the reason for that decline is in the picture and an ai it is natural stupidity, not artificial intelligence

But UBI is communism o algo.

European countries have shown that retirement payments are not sustainable. How the fuck would extending it to the entire population work?
>>
>>107040334
Its partly due to AI as well even though its not the biggest factor
>>
>>107040352
>anon is too retarded to know about rate limits
>>
>>107040250
This is caused by typical GOP economic stuff, not AI. Executives are setting up for the golden parachute thing by squeezing their companies dry during this time of deregulation and open crony capitalism.
>>
>>107040530
Most people have bullshit jobs that don't really need to exist.
99% of women shouldn't be in the workforce either.
>>
>>107040250
>thousands of jobs are being lost
in the usa you can die homeless in your car

the only thing that matters is shareholder value
line goes up

life will become hell but line will go up
>>
>>107040250
what makes you think AI has anything to do with it?
>>
>>107040250
laying off employees means less expenses, which means more money, line up, legal obligation to shareholders achieved

You wont do more danage than that sorry buddy
Openai has infinite money and electricity because theyll get bailed out infinitely

line go up though

It's a fundamentally simple question:

We have been told for decades now that productivity is rising, and GDP is growing

So where is all that money going? And why are we still working the same amount of hours per week?
>>
>>107040250
AI doesn't do shit. companies have just overhired, and now use AI as an excuse to bypass labor laws in mass layoffs.
>>
>>107041711
Productivity needs to rise by a lot to cover for an aging population that have pensions and start consuming more medical services as they get more infirm. 15% of French GDP is spent on pensions. Unless there is some radical productivity boost things are beyond fucked.

>>107041711
>you make more money
>govt print more money
>govt give away the money
Jamal has it.
>>
>>107040684
We won't know that until the next boom cycle. The market is entering a downturn phase of the cycle. What do companies do when the macroeconomics are grim? They lay employees off. The simplest test here will be to watch what companies do when the next boom phase starts. If they start hiring again, it's reasonable to assume that AI didn't automate away all those jobs. If they don't, and especially if they continue laying people off, AI might be replacing people for real.

Until then, watch the actual data instead of what CEOs are spinning.

wonder how it looks if you break "white, non-hispanic" down into "white, non-hispanic, non-jewish" and "jewish".

Jobs go down, stonks go up. Asset owners win bigly. Economy is now bifurcating between people who make money out of nothing and people who need to work for a living but can't (permanent underclass).

I'm sure there's an investment bubble surrounding AI, but it's silly to think there's no value being created. Do none of you use copilot or any other coding aides? AI has been super useful for me as a dev, both at work and in hobby projects.

>>107041635
>Line go up
Automation destroys jobs, and new jobs will have to be created. That will be true literally forever, and you can't reverse that trend. 130 years ago there was a huge industry surrounding the care and rearing of horses, and all cities hired people to light or extinguish street lamps all day.

Hell, in the middle ages you could have a career literally carrying water in buckets from the nearest river to whatever inns, stables or castle kitchens who didn't have easy access to wellwater. Where do you think all those jobs went?

You people cry about this like you aren't in a 100 times better position than package deliverers or taxi/truck drivers. At least the tech industry is being enhanced by AI tools rather than outright replaced by them.

>>107040250
US is in effective recession, but saying these firings are due to AI make line go up a little bit for a little longer.
Outside of AI hype things are grim and when that bubble pops.. welp. I hope you have physical gold anons.

Ching chong ching
back to your Chinese rathole.

US economy is booming and everything about AI being a bubble are Chinese lies to destabilise their biggest competitor in AI
>>
>>107042473
But anon the economy is good because a select few people got low impact 100k+ jobs.
Just ignore the medium income earner dealing with prices nearly doubling without the double in pay.
>>
>>107040250
thank donald zionjeet

>>107042066
That's just because the older generation, the one who have large retirement funds, are mostly white, a legacy of our past demographics.
>>
>>107042687
The issue is similar to the dotcom bubble and crash. Sure websites DO have value, and they ARE the future. The thing is, you had 10 different companies creating the same website, for example newspaper.com or music.com, with the idea that in the future this site will be the single source of all news or music for the world. Then all 10 versions of these sites get individually value at their future maximum potential of world domination, when in reality only one of them could succeed, and in the end probably none of them succeeded to that level. The same thing is happening with AI products, where each one is inflating value as if they will all reach AGI god-level world dominance, when only one can succeed at that, and in reality none may.
>>
>>107040250
It's cute how you wanted to prop up your AI scam by pretending those jobs were replaced with AI.

There shouldn’t need to be more than a billion people in the world, quality of life and sustainability takes such a massive hit. If we’re building machines that take away the need for tedious labor I’m all for it.

AI as in Actually Indians?

>>107042058
To me the low hiring before the holiday season begins feels like an indicator that it might be due to gains in productivity from AI has reduced pressure for new hires despite growth. However, there are multiple variables at play and it is conclusively confirm or rule out impact of AI
>>
>>107040457
Insignificant compared to the massive debt they took on (muh future growth) the whole sector is cartoonishly overpriced and inflated

When did laymen catch on to the bubble, and how did they respond?

>>107040250
Maybe there was a reason for the deportations after all.

Actually, yes, I am

>>107040447
normal people will look for other work before crying it's over, flipping out and shooting people
That's part of what separates the normal, make-do fags from the dramatic i-am-owed chuds
