At this point im convinced that these sorts of headlines are being intentionally put out there as a form of marketing via fear.
What better way to convince people to learn/use your AI offerings than to have those people think their livelihoods are in danger because of them.
AI has provided alot of unique value, but despite the countless headlines stoking fear of mass job loss, there still remains little substance to these claims of being able to automate anything but the most meanial of jobs.
Until we can directly point the finger to AI as the cause of job loss numbers rising, and not other unrelated economic factors, this all just smells of fear mongering with a profit incentive.

- AtlasBarfed 1y agoCeos always are personally marketing their "leadership" to maintain position with the board and stockholders and for future jobs, and to push around peers in the sociopath executive class. These people universally hate labor. The entire tech industry went on a firing binge when musk bought Twitter and fired everyone, and nazi salutes have done a bit to blunt his golden boy status in the exec ranks, not THAT much... Now every CEO is trying to elbow their way to be the AI golden boy. It's worth tens of billions as musk had shown.
