What you’re disregarding is Covid era over hiring, higher interest rates, and the world wide tariffs that killed off the labor market. There was a downward trend well before OpenAI launched Chat and kicked off the LLM/AI hype train. There have been the most layoffs this year since 2020 on top of that.

You are correct. I do not see AGI happening. Technology does advance but we humans have limitations, as does the world we live in.

To me, it is just making the M7 stocks meme stocks. None of them have proven themselves yet. It is all just hype currently. Part of the reason for their layoffs is literally to refocus on AI, not because AI replaced their roles.

I question how this plays out longer term once interest rates are dropped and tariffs are likely struck down. I don’t see AI replacing many roles.

Yes but the hiring slowdown started well before LLMs became mainstream and the current labor market freeze occurred right after the tariffs were enacted. Currently, it seems to be an excuse for a poor labor market with some hope it just might pay off. However, it every study I’ve seen from MIT and Stanford, it has not materialized anywhere to be more efficient than workers or coming close to displacing people. Most CEOs are not exactly tech experts either.

Forgive my ignorance, where has AI (particularly the LLMs) proven to be useful and effective to the point of displacing workers? While I understand it has use cases (drug discovery, etc.) they usually add to what information experts add onto it. I don’t see this just displacing corporate roles. How do you see it?

Every single study I’ve seen, LLMs have not been proven to be effective. They still get things wrong, hallucinate and still need to be checked to verify they’re correct on any important work.

Wow— great statement. You really have a way with words. Would you like me to suggest another way for you to phrase that statement?

Correlation isn’t causation

US foreign policy is a different topic than domestic. US foreign policy has always been vile.

There’s over 200,000,000 white citizens. A few hundred doing dumb shit isn’t the entire group. Would you apply this way of thinking to other groups of people?

Congratulations

“Surrounds us” maybe if you’re chronically online

I mean this isn’t a “white lib” thing. Most people don’t want political violence or related.

Completely gave up on the console wars thing too for AI. Such ridiculous leadership by Sadya
