This is such a brutal thing. Yes job loss is not nice even if they get some money to exit. The whole IT sector is now a race to the bottom until AI causes a massive job and stock market crash and then nobody will have a job, pensions will be burned out in stock market scams and meanwhile, some of these AI tech bros will have made billions in profits. Well done, Microsoft and every other batshit crazy AI company.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social "AI", not AI! It's not just code being stolen anymore but literally behavioral patterns extracted from those very employees by forcing them to use LLMs before getting fired.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social this will lead to more evidence for all to see that 1. AI error rate is intolerable 2. you need humans to build things 3. corporate memory and human expertise is not something you can just switch back on it will be good to many organisations to see a few high profile orgs fail like this i'm personally waiting for the absolutely massive clusterf**k from the use of AI in the public/government sector

@nixCraft@mastodon.social And this is assuming it doesn't work. I would very much like to see LLMs finally hit a ceiling and stall but I keep getting surprised how far autocomplete in a loop with tools to keep it on track can get. All this reminds me of the scene from Oppenheimer after the successful test where he tried to give them advice but since he's already done his part, they dismiss him with "we’ll take it from here, doctor".

@nixCraft@mastodon.social worst part will be post-crash when there will be no workforce available: laid-off people would had either reconverted to other jobs or become out of touch for whatever techonologies are now required, and new workforce are so AI-dependant that they would be unable to be productive without it
