Thread regarding General Motors layoffs

GM will fall apart without you.
AI will never be capable of doing your job.
GM's future is secure and sales will grow YOY.
We are all one big family. You've got this.

The king of resentment and grievance lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave

Collectivism is attractive to people that aren't smart enough to cut it and too lazy to put in the effort. They rely on resentment and grievance as torches to guide them.

The promise of AI is the same as collectivism: a utopia where no one needs to do anything, and the meals & shelter are free. Only in reality, people become useless so the authorities create viruses and wars to wipe them out. We will see this 2025.

Just tell everyone the Supreme Court gave you total immunity.

AI plot twist:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PNBWqoBmYSM

AI that monitors your activity and will call the authorities if it things you crossed a line.
If it thinks you are planning something it considers immoral, it tells on you.
This could include faking data on a clinical trial or asking it for tips on how to cheat on taxes. Imagine the implications if it assumes a researcher is trying to do something nasty because it's asking the wrong questions. It's worse than censorship because it has uncontrolled, untrustworthy implications. Imagine if a chatbot wrote someone's spouse about dark fantasies. The possibilities are endless.

One day your humanity will be replaced by an AI representation of yourself.
It will look and sound like you and people will be able to interact with it. This is the future that was paved by trans-humanists who are now promoting, "anti-natalism".

This concept is seemingly coming from nowhere and will be widely spoken about.

Who will babysit the babysitters?
...
It's amusing that managers are so eager to replace us with AI.
Did it never occur to them that without employees, they are out of a job?

Hopefully it will replace those d-bags in Pontiac that can't tell whether their engine is going to be reliable.

There's an AI arms race and much of the NASDAQ is composed of companies spending billions and committing vast resources to it.
"AI will never replace me" folks are frogs in the pot.

Imagine how government cost cutting efforts will deal with the useless eaters, aka Walmart scooter people with their gubment debit cards.

Lawyers, educators, medical specialists, accountants, theapists, business analysts, etc can be real right now with LLMs.

"Maybe engineering trusts AI too much and that explains all the product recalls."

I work in the engineering department. We are being asked about our AI ideas. There are test groups. Management is desperate for cost savings.
That aside, we are not using it yet but it is extremely powerful. It can definitely code at mid-career level and it can absolutely design parts. The angry little men that scream and shout (like small D energy in this thread) that this simply isn't true are closed off - ignorant. They merely need to open their eyes. Do a simple youtube search. The demos are out there. Can AI replace a full time design engineer? Not yet. Or maybe (we don't know what is still in development). But the truth is, it's not that far away. It will absolutely happen in the near term, because Artificial General Intelligence is said to be revealed THIS YEAR. This is something everyone should be concerned with.

Beyond just designing parts, think of all of the engineering and business functions that a simple LLM can replace. Then combine LLMs with AI agents that use generative AI and you can replace SMEs, coders, project managers, secretaries, managers, security... All it takes is one or two people directing these AI agents and a company can replace entire departments right now. Don't think for a second this isn't the plan.

To the small D energy guy - I'm sure you know that hundreds of billions of dollars have been pumped into AI. Why do you think that is? And what do you think it's funding? Do you truly know what AI is capable of? If so, let us know because we all see through your fearful, fake tough guy act.

Maybe engineering trusts AI too much and that explains all the product recalls.

Pretending he has special knowledge that's a secret.

The reality is that everyone is playing with AI. It does reasonably well with the kind of writing that a manager or salesman might do, but doesn't do well with facts or technical things.

That's why managers and non technical people have more confidence in AI, because of their experience with it.

AI will lie to you with total confidence, and absolutely everything it says has to be checked and fixed.

Very simple things tend to have fewer lies and errors, and more complicated things have more.

"The IT field use it as an assist, so how does it compare to engineering? They don't."

Is AI being tested in the engineering department? Some of us know but can't say. I am one of those people. You are so sure of yourself though. Please tell us more with your fifth-grade writing style and your insults about your AI expertise.

"There is zero, absolutely nothing in line for the engineering field, and most especially the designer classification that will replace anytime soon."
LOL! Sayonara small D energy. You are the man!

@p0+1jsvkk2cv
"You are out of your fcking mind. I speak with authority as someone that walks the line in both IT and Engineering. You, are just an unware and condescending dck."

Grade: Emotionally fragile, small D energy. Cry like B somewhere else. You can't code if you can't spell.

The inflation due to the pandemic was worldwide.

The supply chain was hammered.

The US actually had lower inflation than a lot of developed countries. We handled things better than most other countries.

The inflation happening now is due to the tariffs and is a deliberate manmade disaster.

And it'll get way worse over the next few weeks.

74% of employees in America are living paycheck to paycheck because between 2019 to 2024 inflation rose to the extent that a McDonald's meal cost more than doubled. People are financing groceries. More than 60% of student loan borrowers are delinquent and will soon have paycheck garnishment.
The great taking is under way.
How will the citizens react when things get worse? Can you see GM making record profits as this unfolds?

Shut up loser. You don't know a damn thing about AI, so let me give you a lesson from those that use it.

AI has the ability to assist in the computer field, and we've witnessed it's ability over the last few years. It's powerful enough to assist with scripting, to help automate certain tasks, by the IT users that know how to utilize it's abilities. Do you know how many IT individuals know how to use it's abilities? Few. It's the newer generation that are learning about it, in which means - not F**king today. Some day, but not today among the generation of today. The IT field use it as an assist, so how does it compare to engineering?

They don't.

The engineering fields are still utilizing the low value 3rd world imports. This has always failed since the 1970's, and still today, when some habib learns anything of value, they jump for a nickle to go work somewhere else. So we have to train the next drone in line.

There is zero, absolutely nothing in line for the engineering field, and most especially the designer classification that will replace anytime soon.

You are out of your fcking mind. I speak with authority as someone that walks the line in both IT and Engineering. You, are just an unware and condescending dck.

The endless meetings happen because no one wants to take responsibility.

They want to spread the blame if something goes wrong.

"We all agreed"

Judging from GM’s past- they rarely get anything right the first time. By the time GM talks an issue to death with never ending meetings and committees, the technology has changed.

@ff+1jsvkk2cv
The concept of 'overpopulation' comes from academics and government officials. Most compartmentalize this concept: it's someone else, someone less desirable. When you are no longer useful, there will be only one guarantee and it won't be income. You will have no utility and no desirable attributes to the people with all of the power.

The modern version of that is Guaranteed Basic Income.

We'd all be poor, but at least we could survive.

The Romans dealt with the rich people having everything and everyone else having nothing with bread and circuses.

Yeah, no. It just won’t.

We generated your job output with AI and it was better than what you could come up with and in a fraction of the time.
It didn't complain about coming in. It didn't call in sick. It didn't make excuses.
We didn't have to pay it or have to have boring interactions with it.
So... we will need you to send your phone and laptop in with the box we sent to your home through FedEx.

You can still use your employee discount on a new vehicle for up to 18 months.
This is purely a decision based on cost and performance. Good luck on your future endeavors!

Every single person reading this, and I'm including myself, is 100% absolutely sc--wed. AI will certainly replace all middle & upper class jobs.

If you disagree, I urge you to make your point clear. I would love to discuss this and would love it even more to be proven wrong.

"Who will buy cars, or anything else for that matter, if no one has a job?"

Welcome to the next chapter in the race to the bottom.
The great reset starts with asset confiscation. We are about to see this in real time.
Phase 1: The Great Taking
September 2025 begins the massive wave of foreclosures held back by covid-era feel-good laws. Last week began the confiscation of paychecks due to the non-payment of student loans.
Phase 2: The technocracy replaces humanity with AI and Robots
Phase 3: The human "hackable animal" is chipped, vaccinated and penned.
You don't what to know what Phase 4 is.

Is this "conspiracy theory"? I refer you to "The Fourth Industrial Revolution" by Klaus Schwab and "A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI" by Yuval Noah Harari. These are the heads of World Economic Forum. They are able to influence governments, state leaders and world markets. It's worth checking into.

There's a reason why General Motors asks you to pledge allegiance to ESG. It has to do with funding the operation and the strings attached. The WEF also promotes replacing you with AI. Do you think Blackrock (which funds most corporations) has a say in this too?

Who will buy cars, or anything else for that matter, if no one has a job?

@OP+1jsvkk2cv

OK if you're right and we're all going to lose our jobs what do we do about it?

If GM is doing this everyone is so we won't be able to find jobs anywhere.

Just accept we're going to live in a cardboard box on the sidewalk?

We should only import mangoes, coffee and chocolate and make everything else ourselves

So robot chip factories in America will let robot car factories in America keep running?

Who's going to buy the cars if we don't have jobs?

What about all the chips made in Taiwan?

What happens if China takes them over and cuts off all our chips?

That'll make the covid supply chain problems look like nothing.

We definitely won't be making cars then.

For the good of the country, I'd rather see AI and robots in factories in America than rely on people and factories in India and China.

At least the products would be made in America.

It's ridiculous that all of America's antibiotics come from China, or most of the manufacturing inputs for medicine comes from India and China.

China especially is a hostile country and we don't want to be dependent on them for essentials if relations get bad.
