I feel bad for the #LearnToCode folks with AI taking a lot of their jobs

If the tech “gurus” are being truthful millions of people will lose their jobs. Go take a look at how that worked for us in 2008.

Why not have people working indoors year round growing food in nurseries in all the various weather that presents itself.
Feed America and export food to the world.
Just keep the power grid secured and fueled for all the indoor farms.
No GMO crops and pesticides.

Those that advocated #LearnToCode originally?... usually politicians, who are usually lawyers, and often codify no replacements for them. So, yeah, I guess.
Journalists... now laid off - I suspect they're too busy worried about unemployment right now.
Those that learned how to code [you'll recall the mining community Hillary tried to convince] ... or recent college grads, unable to get a job? -- Yeah, it sucks, but no one guaranteed the market would stay the same. Since the early eighties it's been a great field to work in. A wagering man would have made the same mistake - so AI's disruptive nature is effectively just a toddler.
Half the people on this board were laughing about AI one to two years ago... many even in this field we work in. But AI has made great gains in the past 4 years.
If I were a young graduate, without a job, who entered college in the last 5 years, I'd be pissed. Most will get a job eventually, but for many, our work will become a hobby in the future. I can see in 10 years most companies (large and small) will pay handsomely for AI, where the developers only direct, assemble and review what assignments the AI will create.

Government employees should be the first to lose jobs to AI. The ineffeciencies of government are well known and established.

Yep, it was just business/progress when it was blue collar.

They aren't, Elon cut 75% of twitter without AI and it did fine.
They are going to cut the fat and claim it was AI.

Baws like this will be like "I drive a trunk my job is safe" without realizing you won't have goods to deliver.

They're in as much danger as coders. It's not like AI isn't already driving cars.
I get the fear but I don't get the blame. This is coming and there isn't a thing anybody can do about it but hang on. If Dorsey or Gates grew a conscience tomorrow about displaced workers and halted their AI efforts nothing would change and those people would still lose their jobs.

Already happening

A lot of these “gurus” are sales people and influencers at the end of the day. They probably havent been in the trenches in awhile, if ever.
Always amusing though when someone with the #opentowork thing on their LinkedIn comes in hot championing successes of AI, as if they would know.

I don't think they are. Their funding is drying up so they are trying to hype themselves up again to attract more money.

What happened to the millions of people who lost their jobs due to electricity, automation, and computers?
Why are we expecting the market to not adjust this time?
Do the people who are happy others are losing their jobs to AI not realize that their manual labor jobs being taken by robots is just around the corner?

AI + robotics = End game

Because of AI… Are we already going back to, “learn to coal mine”???

Why is anyone happy others are losing their jobs? What kind of sick, demented person takes pleasure in the suffering of others?
I can only assume this individual is miserable in life and wants to see others dragged down with him.

I'm in highway construction. We don't have them here but there are asphalt pavers that do everything with GPS and a CAD File. No operators necessary.
We did a multi-year multi-million dollar project with 1 Surveyor and 2 helpers. It will hit laborious skill jobs as well.

It does seem that way. I'm getting tired of the tech bros posting to Substack about their 10X productivity gains and claiming "APOCALYPSE NOW!" while the rest of the working class is clearly struggling to get the tools to perform basic tasks reliably, and that assumes their companies even have any makings of organized programs to roll out AI use at all. Most don't.
I'm not sad one bit about the collapse and restructuring of American media and journalism in general, but this is one area where decent reporting and skepticism of claims would help most workers (and executives, frankly) understand what might actually be going on.
We often say "the stock market is not the economy". Well, Silicon Valley and software in general is a lousy proxy for how most people work and get work done.
