Any job that can be done by an LLM wasn’t a job that needed to get done In the first place.

any manager who tries to replace an actually useful job with an LLM is going to get bit in the ass as productivity slows to a crawl. Other people will hav to step in to clean up the mess and basically do the work that should have been done by the person replaced. Most of the jobs being “replaced by AI” are actually just routine layoffs or companies correcting from over hiring.

I’ve read a story the other day from someone who said they left Amazon due to what a mess it was becoming internally. How increasingly managers were hiring people they didn’t need so their team would be bigger and they would seem more important. This is a well known phenomenon. I suspect a lot of people who did this and created a mess are using the excuse of “embracing AI” to give them selves an off ramp from the mess they created by bloating their departments.

Again, that's what the 6000 remaining employees would be for.

This is what I’ve been saying. Doesn’t matter if AI/LLMs are capable of doing the job. If CEOs think it can, they will do layoffs.

In some cases, it appears to be the opposite: CEOs want to do mass layoffs, so they blame AI rather than taking accountability themselves. The Amazon layoffs reek of this.

Well fuck, TIL Tidal is owned by Jack. Since my mantra, since birth some 60 odd years ago, is "FUCK Jack Dorsey" (which, as mantras go, was kinda dumb because it was absolutely meaningless until like 20 years ago), looks like I'm moving back to Qobuz.

They will quietly rehire within 6 months. The wages will be cut and the quality of work will drop. But hey, that's how we keep this turd flowing, right?

That was part of the name choice. It's also the 3D version of square. Adding another dimension.
