Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

AI is taking our jobs - sooo, billionaires are telling us to be grateful. duly noted.

Aravind Srinivas (CEO, Perplexity) just dropped a blunt take on AI layoffs: most people don’t even like their jobs, so getting replaced by AI might actually be the push they need to build something better.

Speaking alongside rising fears from leaders like Bill McDermott (CEO, ServiceNow), who warns unemployment could surge, Srinivas flips the narrative, arguing AI is unlocking a wave of “mini businesses” powered by tools anyone can learn.

Mark Cuban and Sam Altman agree the shift is real: companies are already cutting roles and doing more with smaller teams. Bottom line: AI isn’t just ki-ling jobs, it’s rewriting the rules, and the people who adapt fastest may end up better off than ever.

Elon Musk said something about no one needs a job anymore. AI will eventually spoon feed you. The only work you have to do is open your mouth when it says AAH!

"AI isn’t just ki-ling jobs, it’s rewriting the rules, and the people who adapt fastest may end up better off than ever."

This is a very true statement. The days of getting a job and coming into the office for the next 30-40 years are over. You will need to be productive on relevant tasks constantly as well as stay current on the technologies available. This will be a lot more effort than most people do today. Changing careers is something a lot of people will need to do.

Seriously, would you pay you the compensation package you get for the work you do? The days of reckoning have arrived. It is going to be hard for a lot of people and the current economy and world events aren't going to make it easier.
