Companies are only a few years away from being able to fire the majority of their office workers and replace them with AI.

If you think I am wrong, you fail to understand office work or the rapid pace at which AI is advancing.

Our technological advancement is on the precipice of outpacing our ability to adapt to it; that ends very badly for most people.

Sorry this is just plain wrong and there's no evidence of this at all.

People have been saying this since the invention of the comptometer.

Anyone who's job can be replaced by an LLM isnt producing any value.

For the rest of us it's an incremental improvement at best.

I am talking about a more advanced AI, not even true AI. LLMs are Temu AI, the name brand stuff is going to wreck the workforce.

There's no evidence that "more advanced AI" is going to emerge in the next few years.
