Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

When AI fails, they'll just keep offshoring

There's no winning.

There is a plan once AI takes over - who needs the peasants ?

You appear to be assuming that AI isn't capable of pushing self serving propaganda. I'm not sure that that's the case.

@hm I asked ChatGPT what it thought about your post. This is how it responded:

"I think you're right that AI is going to have a major impact on the economy and labor market, and I agree that governments and businesses should be preparing for disruption rather than waiting until it's already happening.

Where I differ is on the certainty and speed of the timeline. New technologies often eliminate some jobs while creating others, and adoption tends to be constrained by regulation, costs, trust, liability, and organizational inertia. Even if AI becomes capable of doing much of the work, companies still have to decide how and when to deploy it.

I also think "all jobs in banking/finance" or "all CEOs" being replaced is a stronger claim than the evidence supports today. AI is already proving useful for analysis, research, customer service, and routine decision-making, but leadership, accountability, relationship management, and navigating ambiguous situations are harder to automate completely.

That said, I do think we're entering a period where many white-collar professions will change dramatically, and some roles may shrink substantially. The bigger question isn't whether AI will affect jobs—it's how societies manage the transition if productivity rises faster than new opportunities are created."

If even an AI model is telling you that you're exaggerating, you know you don't have a valid argument.

Offshoring is only a temporary move to appease investors, the board, and drive the stock price up. Next stop is full AI.

I dont think many people truly understand the impact AI is going to have on our lives and the world economy. As someone else mentioned, Sam Altman had been screaming this for years. Almost every single job in banking/finance can, and will be replaced including the CEO. It will happen faster than people think. Elon is playing a big part in this as well. Its will then make its way to blue collar jobs with robots run by AI. Seems like some sci-fi movie but its really not.

The government really needs to have a plan ready before unemployment gets to 10-20% and continues to climb. Unfortunately they are typically reactive and light-years behind whats occurring in real-time.

I dont have a timeline, nobody does. But you can expect some massive changes on the horizon.

From our fearless “leader”….TK
The most impactful conversations this week didn’t happen on stage. They happened as teams walked through their work, answered questions in real time, and connected what they’re building to the outcomes that matter. In Chandler, I spent time with teams across Consumer Technology, experienced live demos, and visited our local branches to better understand how that work shows up for our customers and employees. It’s clear how closely teams are connecting their work to real impact and I’m grateful for the commitment they bring every day.

AND she still has no clue what AI does …..

Meanwhile, Musk steals your retirement funds by getting overvalued spaceX into every index fund. No winning there, either. Guess I'll just die?

See that, it is working, create enough offshoring and it makes it much easier to get your agenda flying when "theres no winning" statements become the norm.

Kudos

AI will never fail. Elon and Sam Altman have already professed their knowledge. Even Sam stated AI will be the end of humanity, but there will be a lot of good companies that benefit. I think he earned his wings with that one

If they were willing to invest in better tools, AI wouldn't fail. Copilot = doom, however.
