I’m unimpressed with this take. AI will replace those that fail to adapt their skills to the new strategies required to orchestrate the new systems that tie AI solutions together. Someone still has to instruct the AI and I’ve yet to see enough evidence to convince me this tech can be adequately used to replace my abilities… but it will replace my homies that stayed complacent and thought they’d be able to coast by on…
Sam, this perspective is unadulterated hubris or just outright denial. Agentic workflows don't require much instruction, I suggest you actually go and try a few out. They can be set up trivially, they may communicate between roles, and perform tasks that would constitute most white-collar work. White-collar work accounts for 60% of the jobs out there. These things are improving exponentially. Exponential growth is ve…
AI sentience will never be a thing. The transformer model never changed the fact that models like GPT are still just solving a classification problem, no different than any other classification model before it. It doesn't take a PhD student to understand it's just clever math.
