I’m starting to think most jobs are performative. Hiring is just managers wanting more people in the office to celebrate their birthdays.
And any important jobs won’t be replaced because managers are too lazy and risk averse to try AI.
We may never see job displacement from AI. Did you know bank teller jobs actually increased in the decades following the roll out of ATMs.

- bilsbie 2y agoI’ve worked 10+ of those jobs, guy.
- jvanderbot 2y agoNot convinced. A lot of jobs have tons of slack until something goes wrong. But even then, I'm not saying all are equally vital, I'm just saying that the statement, "most jobs are performative" doesn't even come close to being supported by "I've worked 10 performative jobs".
- bilsbie 2y agoWork a few more jobs and you’ll change your tune.
