- throwaway290 2y agoIt is replacing jobs
- SteveNuts 2y ago> It is replacing jobs Prematurely, in my opinion only. A lot of those will be coming back unless there's a major breakthrough soon.
- skywhopper 2y agoWhich ones? In reality, I mean, not executives’ fantasies.
- burnte 2y agoI spend 90 minutes in a meeting with our CEO and two board members and the one guy went on almost the entire time about how amazing OpenAI Operators was and how we should find a way to replace most of our people with it. All because it was able to buy a plane ticket after he give it his login credentials.
- ziddoap 2y agoPerfect example of a fantasy put forth by an executive.
- bdangubic 2y agothese kind of comments on HN show me how many people lack creativity. wherever you work(ed) I am sure you met myriad of people and thought: - they don’t do shit - I can do what they do in my sleep it is these types of jobs that are being replaced and are easily replaceable with a little bit of creativity and imagination…
- ziddoap 2y agoThe parent comment asked (very specifically!) for real examples, not C-suite fantasies. They received a reply literally describing the fantasy of a c-suite individual. I thought that was funny. How my one sentence reply pointing out the irony of the reply led you to believe that I (we? lots of HNers?) lack creativity is beyond me.
- throwaway290 2y agoIf management knows that underperformers are underperformers in order to fire them in favor of LLMs then management could do it already in favor of better workers. You can basically string replace "replace underperforming humans" with "replace humans". That is their dream
- quickslowdown 2y agoI'm dealing with this as well. CEO basically soiled himself with excitement in a group chat, some toadies joined in, most were silent. Because how else can you receive that other than "think of all the money we'd have if we could get rid of those needy workers"
- throwaway290 2y agoThe workers on whose work the thing was trained, too
- throwaway290 2y agoYou didn't notice a bunch of layoffs in 2024?
- robertlagrant 2y ago> If AI actually starts replacing jobs, society is going to collapse/restructure to the point that risk management no longer applies. Once more, with feeling: automation has continued to replace jobs. That's why you aren't currently toiling in a field to eke out a meagre subsistence living. If AI starts to replace jobs (a statement made true if a single job is replaced by AI) then likely the good or service that fronts that job will become slightly cheaper, or the same.
- UltraSane 2y agoWhat if AI can replace 100% of jobs that don't require manual labor?
- robertlagrant 2y agoI imagine we'll invent new jobs that we want humans to do. Why do people pay thousands for mechanical watches when quartz ones are objectively better?
