Why did he reduce Europe to north Europe in the beginning of the article? The EU is not just North Europe. It sounds to me a bit like cherry picking to make his case.

I think a lot of founding is pretty much a commodity, e.g coming up with a viable idea and then implementing it has become rather easy now with these tools. The real barriers are access to capital and clients. From the startup I joined (I&#

Yeah I agree. We're headed into a rougher job market pretty much across the board for white collar work , hitting junior people worse at this stage. Up to societies around the world to decide how to deal with this - so far we deal with

I kinda agree I mean almost no one writes code by hand anymore but it doesn't mean we don't contribute any value anymore. I wouldn't exchange the entire r&d department with Claude yet - would you ?

It's possible , yes. For now I'm betting against it, we'll see.

I agree but I think it would take awhile. Some of us here seem to believe 2026-2027 is the end of programming jobs. At least that's Amodei seemed to be saying but then changed his mind later on?

by weatherlite 4mo ago
It is important for society to understand it is not merely programmers and customer support who are at risk of losing their jobs. Clearly A.I can do much more than just program.

Do we prefer the market will spit or swallow in this case?

Talking to them online ? I think most of us will be better off without the huge amounts of online toxicity.

You're not wrong. A bit too bleak perhaps but yeah everything you said is mostly factual. Society is a hypocritical shit show it is what it is.

Yep. I don't have good answers and neither do our politicians. Things will have to change rather radically.

I don't get how this didn't become yet a major election topic in most democracies. It's business as usual mostly.

How does he afford a plumber then ...?

by weatherlite 5mo ago
Will so many people switch to plumbing though ? Really depends on how old you are when you get canned (I don't think its realistic for most 40 year olds to start a plumbing career), how good you are with your hands and physical things

by weatherlite 5mo ago
Perhaps the feeling is that in a competitive society (which most of us live in) as long as things aren't collapsing I don't see why a plumber/doctor should care if a bunch of lawyers and software devs will be out of a job. Th

It's not a great definition but it's also not a terrible one either. For an AI system to be able to do all or even most of the jobs in an economy it has to be well rounded in a way it still isn't today, meaning: reliability,

Some people indeed identify too much with their jobs, but for many others getting replaced by A.I means on very practical terms - a huge hit in salary, it means possibly retraining - maybe for years, means stress to the family (mortgage, bi
