“I am more excited to figure out how we can charge people a lot of money for a really great automated software engineer or other kind of agent than I am making some number of dimes with an advertising-based model.”
Some people will argue this isn’t replacing humans, just creating additional jobs for AI, and the human ones are safe. Somehow, I doubt it.
Also, Meta & Google are hardly making ‘dimes’ from selling advertising.
this should be good thing but instead it just means any people replaced will have harder time surviving. Our society across the planet is fucking broken if technological advancement means things get worse for people because of it.
I’m normally very pro capitalism but I’m worried that this time really is different to previous technological revolutions. Most people in the West work in office jobs now, and many of them are vulnerable with this technology. If this plays out like it could, and the majority of office workers are no longer needed, we’re going to keep redistribution on a scale never seen before. This is nothing short of a political and social revolution. Such a transition could be quite violent.
So they’re saying the evil part out loud then.
Good try Sam. You’re on the right track. But, if you really want to be hated more than Elon, you’re going to have to sprinkle in some racism and other bigotry. And, add some historically revisionist dictator worship. Elon’s got the Nazi angle and Mark has creepy Roman. Maybe, you can go Egyptian pharaoh?
French monarchs are woefully underepresented by sociopathic wannabes.

I’m all for this as long as we’re only replacing the human CEOs.
That’s even one of the few jobs LLMs can do competently. It’s basically correlating a bunch of information compiled by someone else and saying some nice platitudes about it to appease the shareholders. Once in a while a decision is needed, when there’s no consensus coming from “below” but I doubt a good LLM (or even a fair coin throw) would be worse than the average CEO at it.
Noted huckster denigrates humans. Film at 11.
