Layoffs are so en vogue. I’m really feeling like I need to reevaluate my career choices. I’m not an AI Engineer. Maybe I should be. I just hate the idea of training my AI replacement. Will AI be regulated so humans can exist? WTF? This is the real fight. Not the shiny stuff they have us focused on

@et+1jkraccxa I spend minimal time on the internet at work and never on a site like this.
The company has made it clear they are heavily monitoring computer use, using all manner of automation (not some person watching your screen).
Big headcount reductions are on the way, especially for IFS.
Not a smart time to be acting stupid, imo.
@ef+1jkraccxa Many at Amazon already work for an app, including all those in the warehouses and doing deliveries.
Now they are pointing AI at the office workers, just like all the other tech companies.
That is why the mega cap tech companies are spending trillions on AI infrastructure. It is so they can slash headcount and remain competitive with each other.
AI will be the gift that keeps on giving.
The autistic mega tech company founders saw The Fifth Element and thought it was a documentary on how everything should be in the future.
In that future, everyone works for an app. They have no human connection to their work. You know, like Uber.
AI is just a smarter app, which allows the people at the top of the company to get rid of even more managers. They are now implementing AI supervisors, which will rate all employees so the upper management can just focus on the total attrition needed and let AI do the firing.
AI will also pick out individuals for termination, to give HR something to play with.
Notice that they are now working on flying cars.
"I just hate the idea of training my AI replacement."
How much weed are you id--ts in India smoking.
AI isn't even a real thing.
Have you seen the non rigorous math in neural networks?
It's a hackathon.
And isn't this an Intel section?
it's a DEI white male, trashing the company like all the other DEI white males have done.
The techs over hired in order to support the far-left agenda. Now they are releasing these revolutionaries back into the society to make trouble.
As a human, the fight is now on three fronts.
Sh-t. Odds are not good in either arena.
You need your binky sheriff?
Right about the time you got skilled enough to be an AI engineer, the code would be ready to write itself.
There is nowhere to hide, just relative safety in pockets like healthcare and the trades. Hoard your money, because a day is coming where you’ll get only as much as someone else deems sufficient…which of course will be enough for sustenance.
The culling of the poor is really going to pick up steam in the 2nd of the century.
Tech companies in particular all seem to be implementing new workforce monitoring software, likely AI driven, which enables them to evaluate and rank each person in real time.
They are tracking people in the buildings, monitoring what they are doing on their PCs (and personal devices) and have some ranking of productivity.
This used to require a manager but this is all now largely automated.
If you are at work reading this, maybe reconsider your priorities.
