~~"But AI isn't coming for your jobs, we swear!"~~
I fully expect companies that are replacing employees with "AI" to soon run into failure. I also hope that those laid off because their bosses determined an "AI" could do their jobs find better jobs and refuse to return to their old positions when they're inevitably asked to come back.
AI is not replacing the jobs, CEO greed is. Like you mentioned, this will fail spectacularly.
In the meantime I will continue tricking the LLMs I find on websites and in phone systems.
Poisoning data LLMs are using as training sets is a way of life. Make it a part of yours <3
Good point, and I stand corrected. And replace "AI" with "immigrants" and my statement sounds like my uncle at Thanksgiving 🤦♂️ Not the vibe or attitude I want to go through life with.
So yeah, AI's not stealing jobs but greedy C-levels are giving them away to AI to cut costs for short-term gain.
Will keep that correction in mind going forward. Thanks.
I think this title is being easily misunderstood.
Dell is not cutting jobs by having AI compensate for those positions, they're cutting down on sales teams and creating a new team that focuses on AI products.
From the article:
The latest job cuts appear to be part of a broader reorganization of Dell's sales teams, including the creation of a new group focused on AI products and services – an area where Dell plans significant growth. For instance, in June, Dell, alongside Supermicro, was selected to provide hardware infrastructure for Elon Musk's xAI startup's AI supercomputer.
They deserve to have absolutely catastrophic quarterly results - up to and including outright failing and filing for bankruptcy - until and unless they reverse course on this manifestly idiotic strategy.
