Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren’t Even “Real Work” to Start With

Maybe if billionaire oligarchs fall out of windows and the world keeps turning, billionaire oligarchs weren't really needed either.

Sam Altman doesn't work a real job.

Self awareness at an all time low there Sammy boy….

If billionaires meet Luigi, maybe they weren't even real people to start with?

"If my AI is capable of doing it, it was a shit job. Subscribe to my AI."

Says the guy with the company set to make billions and billions of dollars on the AI trained solely on the hard work of other people with zero compensation. Fuck you dude.

This actually jives well with the concept of the business idiot. https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-era-of-the-business-idiot/

AI is being promoted by the business idiots because they see how it makes their job disposable. On the other hand, people who do work know that AI isn’t actually that useful.

I'm so sad to see the best possible way to legitimize a Universal Basic Income being wasted

at the same time bill gates said the same thing, with different words.

And here I thought it was going to be him referencing Graeber in a way that indicates he never read the full book or understood its point. But nope, dumber.

Altman, if the masses are unemployed and you're fabulously wealthy, well, read a history book to see what happens.

AI doesn’t create value. It extracts value from the work of millions of people. Fuck Sam Altman.

Read the article before replying. Too late for some of you anyways.

He's right. AI isn't doing a good job anyway. If a company can """replace""" (cut) jobs like that and survive, the position is useless.

The question is, is it truly so? Or did this move start the company's doomsday clock?

If jobs replaced by LLMs and image generators aren’t real work, then what work did those steal from?

Terrible headline.
