This conversation is fundamentally about class, not technology. AI is not being used to replace upper management and other upper class positions. It's being used to replace assistants, customer service, interns, paralegals, junior developers and so on -- jobs traditionally taken by lower and middle class workers often entering a field or holding a wage to support their families while being present. AI is a tool developed to eliminate jobs by the class subsidized by tax cuts to do the opposite. Now that we live in a time where those mistreated by corporate policy gun down executives in the street, hopefully the repercussions of saving a buck at the expense of others livelihoods will at least cross the minds of the executive class. If we stay civil and this shift doesn't happen, the elimination of entry level positions will lead to a lack in depth of knowledge that will cause a reduction of quality in goods and services that will result in lower returns and a reduction of GDP. Pretty sure that #1 book is not going to say anything other than AI will make you more money. We need a better measure "good" than a number of dollars.

Think about this, traditional ML models eliminated repetitive tasks with a limited degree of flexibility outside what it was trained on. Generative AI models have introduced the concept of creativity and thinking (look at the research papers coming out on reasoning and chain of thought). The combination of SOTA models in reasoning, vision and audio capabilities are leading us to a simple conclusion - AI is moving ahead. They are able to do work, evaluate their own work and supervise themselves as hierarchal teams of AI agents. It is inevitable - imagine an ERP user whose primary work is to work on email, documents and ERP system as a backoffice user. Now imagine an AI agent that opens an ERP system, as access to email and documents with grounded RAG. Evertyhing this guy was doing - even creatively - can be replaced by this AI agent. Dont get trapped in old school thinking about AI - read the new paradigm in the book.
