Maybe if billionaire oligarchs fall out of windows and the world keeps turning, billionaire oligarchs weren't really needed either.

Funny enough an AI would do his type of job very well. Spout bullshit and hallucinate an outcome, with just enough factual information to sound plausible. Sounds like a ceo to me.

Sam Altman doesn't work a real job.

Self awareness at an all time low there Sammy boy….

Well then say goodbye to all the CEOs. I’m sure an LLM could figure out how to do a better job than them and they have no golden parachutes either!

Jobs. Get.

I guess Yahoo’s headline writing AI doesn’t understand subject verb agreement. Unless Altman is talking about Steve Jobs, who is dead.

If billionaires meet Luigi, maybe they weren't even real people to start with?

look I love to shit on AI, but this is a fucking terrible misleading headline

The thing about that farmer,” Altman said, is not only that they wouldn’t believe you, but “they very likely would look at what you do and I do and say, ‘that’s not real work.'”

This, Altman said, makes him feel “a little less worried” but “more worried in some other ways.”

“If you’re, like, farming, you’re doing something people really need,” Altman explained. “You’re making them food, you’re keeping them alive. This is real work.” But the farmer would see our modern jobs as “playing a game to fill your time,” and therefore not a “real job.”

“It’s very possible that if we could see those jobs of the future,” Altman said, we’d think “maybe our jobs were not as real as a farmer’s job, but it’s a lot more real than this game you’re playing to entertain yourself.”

"If my AI is capable of doing it, it was a shit job. Subscribe to my AI."

CEOs certainly do no real work.

This actually jives well with the concept of the business idiot. https://www.wheresyoured.at/...

AI is being promoted by the business idiots because they see how it makes their job disposable. On the other hand, people who do work know that AI isn’t actually that useful.

Like CEOs.

I'm so sad to see the best possible way to legitimize a Universal Basic Income being wasted

Where is he talking all these nonce from? Is he even real at this point?

Sam is UI, Unintelligent.

You first, Sam.

at the same time bill gates said the same thing, with different words.

AI doesn’t create value. It extracts value from the work of millions of people. Fuck Sam Altman.

And here I thought it was going to be him referencing Graeber in a way that indicates he never read the full book or understood its point. But nope, dumber.

Altman, if the masses are unemployed and you're fabulously wealthy, well, read a history book to see what happens.

Read the article before replying. Too late for some of you anyways.

If jobs replaced by LLMs and image generators aren’t real work, then what work did those steal from?

He's right. AI isn't doing a good job anyway. If a company can """replace""" (cut) jobs like that and survive, the position is useless.

The question is, is it truly so? Or did this move start the company's doomsday clock?

Looking at most of the comments, it seems reading past the headline isnt real work either, as no one wants to do it... lol.
