Eve's first year (Mandeville) was a joke and lasted about 20 minutes. They had multiple back to back floats with no bands or marching orgs in between.

It was 1987 and run by women. How big do you think the audience was?

Point I'm making is "fools gold automation" isn't taking jobs away.

And I agree with you that most jobs that won't return will be due to redundancy. But to blame AI for that is bonkers.

The central issue is that the big 4 in the tech sector are catering their entire OS environments, hardware, and software suites to AI and it's a COLLOSSAL failure. And every subsequent tech company is a trickle from AMD, Intel, Meta, Microsoft, Google, Adobe, and Apple. The same situation is going to happen like in 99, you'll have one or two AI companies that survive and the tech is going to evolve into an actual, metered use case: supped up search engines to assist with simplified tasks.

Coders are fine. Accountants are fine. Mid level management is fine. It's been proven in every model (Claude, GPT5, grok, Gemini) that any task, regardless of knowledge data base, given to it that is more difficult for a 10 year old to complete, it hallucinates like crazy and shits itself. And it's just going to get worse.

I also can't speak for every job field ever, but I can see little pockets here and there who are definitely screwed, even short term. AI can create content like art, and even complete, functioning scenes that can pass as real can be created. The entertainment industry, and industries that rely on speakers, visuals, and art are definitely in trouble. Virtual service jobs like phone customer service jobs are already about to be shredded, which is going rock India. Self-driving vehicles will become stanadard in the next 5 years which is going to affect shipping, and I imagine that this will somehow translate to shipping and flying in at least minor ways. Menial tasks that can be redistributed can and will continue to do so. Heck, look how well people trained themselves to give their own food orders at fast food restaurants and check themselves out at the store. These types of things will continue to spiral. Yes, maybe huge companies that have the largest infrastructures in the world will take longer time to change, but smaller companies won't as long as they have the ability.

Alarmism.

As someone in the tech sector, most of my collogues and I agree: the bubble is about the burst and it's going to make the dot com bubble look like childsplay.

Every major industry is hemorrhaging money hand over fist due to AI implementation and overhyped/speculative use case. Most industries in my sector utilized AI to circumvent actual people and aren't saving money in the slightest.

All generative AI is is an aggregate, a supped up search engine. If you structurally understand how it works (data in, data out per request and query), you understand that it lacks and will always lack the capacity of full automation at its fundamental level. The reason tech companies are starting to lose money on it is because ROI is horrible in investors eyes and investors are finally understanding that it's basically google on steroids and only really perfected for simple query's.

So calm ya tits and sell before the bubble bursts. And enjoy normalcy coming back to electronics prices and data centers not raising utility costs in your area.

Disagree on points. I think you are correct that people are expecting AI to catch on and be profitable quicker than it will. On the other hand, realistically, these jobs that are being lost are ALREADY replaceable. They wouldn't be firing people with immediate affect if they thought they would have AI ready to do the job in 24 months.

Tradesmen will still be the second to last to be replaced. The last will be lawyers because they'll make sure the laws are on the books requiring physical lawyers to be present, even though robo lawyers may be just as good for many different types of law.

So did Austin not catch any heat from Pete for that comment?

Heaven forbid we know if this wasnt the first time these individuals interacted.

Oof, that wasn't to be taken as one.

I'm not the NBA's demographic, so they can go frick themselves.

More like Jamal and Abdullah's gravy train. I wish there was a way to recoup all the money that gets sent overseas from illegals.

Courts disagree with you my friend.

If that was the case the leftists would have far less to argue with. Actually, courts very often side with police officers. You actually know that, but you are being retarded on purpose.
