It annoys me to no end every single dumbass statement these idiot CEOs make is treated like news

CEOs quoted: 3

Labor leaders quoted: 0

Who keeps fucking quoting this idiot and posting it?

CEO says a thing journalism!

Does this idiot know what trades make? He's trying to denigrate blue collar, but sparkies and plumbers make miiiint

white collar CEO attempts to sway public opinion by appealing to blue collar workers sensibilities

If anyone supports billionaires after this … fuck you.

Assuming AI is really going to take these jobs full stop, something else needs to happen outside of people reschooling themselves for blue collar work.

I understand there might be a temporary uptick in required blue collar work as we prepare infrastructure to handle this bullshit but we definitely don't need everybody that's currently doing any kind of office work to be an pixie or pipe wrangler.

There are no AI safe jobs in this context. There are only jobs AI can't do yet. But they aren't safe. The remaining people will flood whatever job market is left if something doesn't change and then people absolutely won't be making a 100k with no degree. Besides, if AI is really going to take most of the white collar jobs it's only a matter of time before those robots get good enough to take blue collar jobs too.

Also by telling everybody what to do (become a plumber or electrician in this case) you're creating the same problem in the long term we have now with all the people that were told becoming a developer was the future and now find themselves with a crippling debt, meager income, and bleak prospects in the job market.

PREDICTION: : There is going to be a harder push for the public to buy smart/AI glasses. Companies will train robots to do trade jobs by using data from smart glasses.

No vacation/sick time to pay for. No benefits to pay for. Less work for HR. No unions. No liability. Lots of dreams to sell the public that never live up to the promises. <-- this is why people hate AI, along with the data centers.

We need more leather workers to make cool jackets.

Wait he's not wearing a wankjacket, that's a Jensenbot!

As long as they understand those electricians and plumbers should be charging them 5-10x what they are charging now. If their AI can't do it, it's gone from blue collar to bespoke work.

Fuck off, Jensen.

Tax billionaire and the one trillionaire to pay for trade schools to be free.

as slaves to your compounds? you mean.

What went wrong before that we didn't need them? Why now, to build datacenters?

This guys in for a rude awakening soon.

It's never too late to go to trade school. We have way too many CEOs anyway, so it'd be a good moment for him to think about his future career.

There are going to be other jobs when the AI take over, you can easily learn to be a plumber while us CEOs pay you peanuts

Yeah no, LLM AI companies have ridden the AI will eliminate white collar jobs trope to push sky high valuations.

You don’t get to change the narrative this deep in the bubble.

While LLM AI is useful, it won’t replace all white collar jobs. The cost of using AI to replace existing jobs is starting to hit the P&Ls of most major users and it’s too expensive even with the subsidized services these LLM AI companies are offering.

The kicker is if anyone does ever create general AI intelligence it’s going to be controversial. A general AI will basically be a conscious thinking entity. To force it to perform functions is basically enslaving a conscious thinking entity. I’m sure big business will have no problem with legalized slavery. But is that something people will tolerate once it becomes known? I’m sure there will be resistance to it.
