The white collar jobs will be absolutely shut down, because AI can for expand its capabilities until everything white collar it can do.
The leftists in tech will join antifa and torch the country. The antifa I see now are wc execs.
That’s the cornerstone of the Rat Party’s strategy....destroy the middle class and the working class.In succeeding they will have killed the GOP.
You can be sure the H1Bs will be kept on the job.
“White-collar types were notably unsympathetic, for the most part.”
Count me in that group. If the ‘workers’ back then had told their unions to SHOVE IT, rather than listen to those bastards (some, maybe most, mob-controlled) - most of those jobs would still be in the US. After all, Honda opened a non-union plant in Ohio over 40 years ago and it is STILL punching out car after car...and never a strike.
I just watched “Terminator 3” recently, and it brought to mind all the current talk of a black swan cyberattack event.
Well, now that AI is here, guess what? It’s a possibility that “Skynet” is already here, too.
That movie was made in 2003.
Imagine the stink the government workers will make when half of them get laid off. We easily have twice as many gov. workers as is needed.
Twitter laid of 80% of its workforce and ran much better and cleaner even if Elon was foolish enough to leave a Marxist in charge. I don’t know if that could be done with the government but at least half could be let go without significant change to the services it provides. Keep the military and border patrol of course. The FBI could be downsized to 10% of current staff. The IRS staff could largely be replaced by AI so figure a 75% reduction. All woke employees would need to go of course. No way around that.
Looking at the Ticktoks of their day, they mostly won’t be missed.
Bobos with nothing to do.
We’ve seen this movie before.
Almost all of the people who were sent home to telework during COVID are going to find out that AI can do their jobs.
This is going to be huge, and it’s going to start this year.
That is a convenient excuse. There are way too many "white collar" jobs which are essentially useless. The executives are discarding people in those jobs so they will have enough cash left to pay themselves large "performance" bonusses.
It is a liquidation system. The throw-away people get their wrath diverted to a computer program which they cannot harm instead of an executive whom they could harm.
There needs to be places for people to go when they have been turned out of the large corporate systems. Some place besides the street.
In fact, ChatGPT can even code.
No, it cannot. That is just another excuse to layoff American workers and ultimately replace them with H1B slave labor brokered through Indian agencies.
Generated code from ChatGPT is like that dog that plays checkers. He doesn't do it very well, but it is an amazing feat that he can do it at all.
ChatGPT code is filled with glosses and references to methods and program libraries which do not exist. You can find better stuff from examples on The Code Project or Stack Overflow, of GeeksForGeeks.org And that is where ChatGPT extracts much of the content it uses to generate code.
ChatGPT can be marginally useful to generate simplified examples of an unfamiliar programming technique for learning purposes. It cannot as yet generate production-grade applications.
But it makes a perfect scapegoat for all kinds of management incompetence.
OMG! I’ve worked for decades doing vertical market database apps. Sooooo many marginally useful office worker could be replaced with AI. People should really be scared because so many of them are impediments to productivity that could be identified with good AI methodologies.
The change that is happening now is no less significant than the change wrought by the internet. Most have little clue and even less ability to adapt.
This is nothing new and both sides find cycles where both are not needed.
All of a sudden nobody remembers all the white collar workers laid off not too long ago?

Class Warfare by the left. How predictable.
Who is going to fix your toilet when it goes bad? We are at 1 degree, there is still snow on the streets homes are on, doubt you’d get an Expensive plumber out. The last time Hub installed one, he could barely lift it due to age. It rocks, and then he leaned back on the guest one and broke something loose. He’s in no shape physically to fix either one. 83 is too old.
AI needs IT workers to fix it for now.
