I think the difference here is that LLMs are powerful, general purpose and suited to take on many common office tasks as well as accelerate programming work. I think “we need 10% fewer white collar workers” is a massively destabilizing scen

The system is us. We will be its agents. It’s the easiest and most likely path. It can just start a cult or religion and have free labor. People tried to storm the US Capitol because of some shit on internet message boards.

I am most focused on this scenario. I could easily see 10%+ unemployment as this technology makes its way into society. Companies will just not need as many people as they did before, and will be able to move much faster than was possible p

Indeed. Some companies tread out some light pablum around “we’re a family,” but MLM schemes weaponize human relationships and social conventions for profit. The MLM metastasizes through social networks and often damages them pretty signific

These are just recruiters, though. It’s a sales job and they have quotas and incentives. Many of them were not in the industry a short time ago and many are now leaving the industry on a rail. Do you expect your car sales guy to be professi

Congratulations on finding an empathetic and wise interviewer among the legions of smug know-it-alls who are enthused to watch you twist in the wind with their trick questions.

Indeed. This is not a categorical issue since, as noted elsewhere in the thread, employers lie and obfuscate all the time. Would I judge someone for fudging the dates of their last employment to get around a ridiculous recruiter screen like

I went to school in the 80’s and 90’s in Canada (suburbs of Toronto) and school lunch was not free. The primary school did not have facilities to prepare lunch, and high school had a pay-as-you-go cafeteria. I don’t know if things have chan
