All jobs will disappear, possibly within one year? Um, no. No way. Not even all white collar jobs, and certainly not all jobs.

  Unfortunately this is an argument from incredulity.

    Well, you don't present much more than an argument from credulity, which isn't all that convincing either. Even if I accept your premise (AI continues to improve at the existing pace), I don't see how AI is going to replace, say, welders, in a year. Or even bankers. (Yeah, an AI might be able to do the financial part. But bankers - as opposed to tellers - are about relationship with customers, and the AI isn't going to substitute there.)

      I made two basic arguments: 1. The exponential curve of AI progress 2. The lack of any mechanism that will immediately wall off AI progress at this specific exponential part of the curve >I don't see how AI is going to replace, say, welders, in a year. This article is about white-collar jobs. However, if human-level intelligence (let alone surpassing human-level intelligence) just becomes a matter of compute, robotics will quickly follow. That being said I'd expect this to be years, not a year. > But bankers - as opposed to tellers - are about relationship with customers, and the AI isn't going to substitute there Are you sure about that? Because even GPT-4o is an example of how people are very hungry for relationships presented by these AIs.
