As we roll out more generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done
we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce
Are we done for?
Amazon boss tells staff AI means their jobs are at risk in coming years
Andrew Jassy tells white collar workers that such technology means fewer people will be needed for some jobs
the Guardian (www.theguardian.com)
The people who are predicting that AI will replace X% of jobs are usually not qualified to make that determination. They don't do those jobs, and they don't have any idea what is involved in those peoples jobs. They are way too high up the corporate ladder to have actually been doing any real work in the last 10 years. They were sold some AI product which promises to lay off thousands of workers, and they seem to have believed it implicitly.
What's sickening to me is how enthusiastic they seem to be about ruining their employees lives

Their shopping experience is so much worse than only 3 years ago. Whatever they are doing, they are doing it wrong.
Amazon is a technology company now. For a long time the storefront and logistics have been a tech demo for Amazon Web Services.
For instance: FreeRTOS

Even Bezos has acknowledged that companies really only last 30 years. They inevitably decline. Amazon was founded by Jeff Bezos from his garage in Bellevue, Washington,[3] on July 5, 1994

Ironically, save for specific positions that require facetime and political shrewdness, it is these same prognosticators whose roles can most readily be fulfilled by Ai

Exactly what a good leader would tell their team to motivate them. /s

Something I think should be on the same level as "if buying isn't owning piracy isn't theft" is something like "if an ai/robot can take my job why should I have to work"
why should I have to work
Because landlords would like to keep their wealth extraction going.
In theory we could get solar panels and batteries for power, some cheap robots for growing food, but all land is owned.

On how about "the robot can take my job I only want the money"

Did someone tell Amazon that some of the staff they will let go will have access to AI as well and will turn around and start competing with them? Someone should as AI is not just for corporations. In fact it is and may continue to benefit individuals and small teams more.

Time for the AI teams to suddenly have tech issues.
"Sorry, the whole codebase is just gone! We have no idea what happened!"
"Must have been the S3 storage"

Ah yes those famous "Agents". They will of course write themselves, adapt themselves to changing environment and run on their own without any supervision.

Between AI and Robotics, we will likely have a permanently unemployed segment of close to 50%, or even more, within the next decade.
Not everyone will be able to be retrained to be a robotics engineer or AI programmer, and many, many jobs that are considered entry-level will disappear. Imagine a world where most fast food and retail workers are unemployed.
When 40% of America is unemployed, the government will be faced with 2 options - Universal Basic Income, or reducing the population by 40%. Which solution will each party embrace, and how will they accomplish their objectives?

Conclusions from a reductionist point of view. Circumstances, problems and solutions are generally complicated.
Moving on.

It takes a special type of shithead to threaten peoples' jobs to their face without even knowing what the fuck they are talking about.
