Eat dick, robber baron.
The things to remember is that these CEOs have made a whole living out of not knowing what they are doing, but being insufferably confident in whatever vomit of words they spew, whether they know anything or not, while ultimately just saying the most milquetoast blatantly obvious stuff and pretending it’s very insightful. All this while they believe and the money proves that are the most important people in the world.
So naturally it’s easy for them to believe LLM can take all the jobs, because it can easily take theirs.
If AI is going to take our jobs then UBI is absolutely necessary.
That, or an internment infrastructure currently being used to deport immigrants that can be easily refactored to house chain-gang denaturalized citizens who criticized the upper class… which will come true first?!
And it’s the AI companies who are going to have to pay it, either directly or via taxes.
“No job is safe … but I’ll still be a billionaire”
By we will… he means everyone else suffers while he profits.
If AI is coming for the CEO position, does that mean he’s giving all his money to an AI? His position consists of hyping a bullshit machine and having money. His income comes from capital, not productivity or growth. Technically, you don’t even need an AI to fill that role. If a potato could hold a bank account and invest, it would do a better job than this man because at least we wouldn’t have to listen to him.
For me, this is the most depressing part.
So many of the technically competent individuals I know are just gleefully throwing their competency and credibility into this ‘AI’ grift chipper with utter abandon.
I can’t see a viable path through it, and whenever they’ve articulated what they see on the other side, it is beyond repugnant and I truly don’t see any benefit in existing in that world if it ever manifests.
I just don’t get how so many people just start by it. Every time I set my expectations lower for what it can be useful at, it proceeds to prove itself likely to fail at that when I actually have a use case that I think one of the LLMs could tackle. Every step of the way. Being told by people that the LLMs are amazing, and that I only had a bad experience because I hadn’t used the very specific model and version they love, and every time I try to verify their feedback (my work is so die-hard they pay for access to every popular model and tool), it does roughly the same stuff, ever so slightly shuffling what they get right and wrong.
I feel gaslit as it keeps on being uselessly unreliable for any task that I would conceivably find it theoretically useful for.
I’ve had similar experiences. Try to do something semi-difficult and it fails, sometimes in an entertainingly shit way at least. Try something simple where I already know the answer? Good chance there’s at least one fundamental issue with the output.
So what are people who use this tech actually getting out of it? Do they just make it regurgitate things from StackOverflow? Do they have a larger tolerance for cleaning up trash? Or do they just not check the output?
We’re cooked. Gotta fight back
That’s actually a pretty good idea. What if we started putting tech billionaires through the wood chipper? It could be like the American guillotine
There’s is nothing too awful to happen to sundar Prichai.
No horrible fate could befall that man that would not cause me delight.
I’m imagining the next viral video trend on the order of “will it blend”.
Do they make a 2-stroke wood chipper? The planet can dank the damage and it’ll get the chuds on board /s
Woodchippers are four stroke. Most probably have a V-twin similar to a riding lawnmower.
You could totally hotrod the hell out of it, however. Just like racing gokarts, you could run nitrous or a turbo.
Yeah but we need a healer
What do you call a private jet full of billionaires crashing into a mountain?
A good start.
They’d never agree to share the jet.
We’ll just tell them they’re reopening Epstein Island and this is the first flight.
And just how are you suffering, Mr. Billionaire?
For the first time ever, his assets only warranted stealing 20 0% interest million dollar loans instead of hundreds. He’s becoming a Poor!
“I was only able to buy 2 yachts and one jet. Last year I got 4 yachts and 3 jets.”
Except it’s the other way around. “We’re all gonna have to suffer” but they are at least twice as rich now than before this bs started.
Well, can you imagine being given a million dollars and someone coming along and saying ‘oh, sorry, you didn’t withdraw that in time and now it’s no longer there, and you owe use a $100 transaction fee’. That would really suck, wouldn’t it?
Now imagine that happening 10 times a day, and you can start to imagine how horrible some of these billionaires feel every day!
Of course to make it more realistic, your job wouldn’t require you to actually ever come into the office or do anything, they would occasionally double or triple your salary based on the stock market, and instead of it being a million dollars, it would be a dollar or so every once in awhile and you wouldn’t know what the transaction fee was because it is effectively less than a rounding error on your current balance. Also banks will loan you money and just write it off if you don’t pay it back with no impact to your credit score.
I’m sure he’s suffering through it.
I think we can all agree, we should put people like this in the wood chipper and unboubtedly the world would be a better place.
The billionaires want to build industrial wood-chippers to get rid of us en masse, meanwhile individual sized wood-chippers already exist.
Bingo

Sounds like on of these.
I’ve got about $100 I can afford to fund this endeavor.
I don’t see a stat for how many billionaires it can shred per minute. Any idea?
Agree. AGREE?!
Well, firstly, I want to know are you a namby pamby “make it quick, put them head first in to the woodchipper” person.
Or a steely eyed “make the parasites suffer and go feet first and make them watch it happen” type.
If we are going to agree on anything then we need to agree on these fundamentals!!Why don’t we compromise and put them in arm first?
I am for head first.
There is no benefit for other’s suffering. Just make it quick.That’s one thing I really liked about the first John Wick movie. No drawn out revenge torture, just a quick bullet and walk out. No need to take some kind of sick pleasure in it, there’s a job to be done.
Now that’s not to say I won’t enjoy some feel-good thoughts about the whole thing, but I just don’t take pleasure in making a death slow and painful.
Dick first
Head first, but the line up to the top has a really good view.
Not if the people trying to force it on us go in to the chipper first.
This type of stuff is exactly why I am moving all of my accounts away from Google. Google is now as bad or evenworse than Microsoft.
To where?
I’m more than happy to self host, find a decent provider, or even go without if I need to. I just don’t want Google around me anymore.
For me - self-hosted.
