Tell me: how do you get senior level professionals if they never have the chance to be junior at some point and gain experience?
I’m a seasoned old fart. AI is no threat to me. For as long as I have left in the job market, I’m pretty sure I’ll be worth more than CrapGPT or Claudepilot. But inexperienced youths fresh out of college can’t get into the job market easily anymore, and it’s not gonna be long before they can’t get in at all. And 20 years down the line, the world will experience a dire shortage of people who know what they’re doing.

Not a problem, as the people who judge them also don’t know what they were doing, and the corporation mandated chatbot story is that it has always been this way.
Sometimes your doctor messes up which sensor goes into which hole(*). The future is just bit early.
*: parts of that movie aged quite badly. Considering the annoyingly heavy slur usage. (Also, if the current trajectory holds, the movie is an utopian movie as it takes places 500 years into the future, and the USA still exists and has a high standard of living).
That sounds like a problem for Future Leadership, I’ve got quarterly goals to hit and the shareholders really want to hear about how I’m using AI to
do some unnecessary layoffs despite record profitsreposition our company for the future.@ExtremeDullard
But for the next years there will be a very very few guys who are getting even more money. #AI is so great. 🤮
For instance, in 2013, there were a lot of complaints about Amazon avoiding sales taxes and engaging in predatory behavior around book pricing. How did Jeff Bezos answer this charge? “Amazon is not happening to book selling,” he said, “the future is happening to book selling.” I see a lot of similarities between that political language and the AI discourse.
This is the reason I like Matt’s blog, since I think one of the big things about AI isn’t just the technology (though I have tons of complaints there), it’s also about the politics around this tech. We just have a bunch of monopolists running around saying “you’re not ready for the future” as a way to just enforce existing power structures.
Tweeting is the modern wooden shoe.
