    Easiest job to phase out is CEO, who fucking needs those people?

    Tell AI that you want to maximize profits at any cost. It might even do a better job than a human.

      Yeah, what makes us human is making multi dimensional decisions. AI would actually be perfect for optimizing a number no matter what.

    Go for it guys, that’ll maximize profits by eliminating all salary costs.

    Just one thing… what’s the plan when the majority of the population has no spending power anymore? Think the economy will still exist?

      Owners of things will buy from each other. Workers can just die in a gutter, I guess.

      We have a long way to go before then, though, and the general public is seriously talking about it, so unless we set off a rogue AI or something I’m cautiously hopeful. Also, Summers sounds like he’s just regurgitating what other people have told him in the article, some of which is outdated (like EQ, it turns out LLMs and GAIs are decent at emotional appeals).

    funny, coming from a guy who stands to make money from his AI company.

    I’m a bean man myself. And I say with absolute certainty that not only will beans be the food of the future, they will be the only food people will ever need or want.
