This is same energy as firing domestic engineers and send them overseas. Then they hire the old engineers as very expensive consultants. Just watch.
Says CEO of company providing other companies with AI services to replace staff. So, no surprises?
Luigi gets extremely excited firing bullets at CEOs tracked by AI
Why are you bringing an innocent person into this
Its like he just wants to be next!
His company will probably fail in the near future.
They rehire in a few months
If they think middle and upper managers can’t be replaced with AI…
I assumed they have been for 40 years. And I’m 41.
He should be excited, he will live in interesting times!
If you put a giant button in front of these people and said if you push the button you’ll get 1 million dollars but someone will die, they’ll have not only slammed the button before you are done with the sentence, but will seemingly have sped up pushing it after you’ve finished. Literal antisocial behaviour that would be pathologized if they weren’t affluent.
TBF, I could sacrifice one person and use that million dollars to save hundreds of lives. Trolly problem, I have to pull that lever.
As long as I can choose the person, I’d do it. Win/win.
Oh, fuck. I really went onion-free with this one.
I wonder how excited he will be when bis company tanks.
wont be laughing once the board fires him in place of AI
CEO of what, exactly? Fucking nothing.
player 2, insert coin
That’s great that they were able to replace people with equipment that they own and control. Oh what’s that? The price and capabilities of this AI can change at any time?
Very safe and cool investment.
They have a lot of wiggle room in pricing software when it’s eliminating whole ass people. The software is competing with a floor of 30-40k/yr
Yeah. And AWS was supposed to replace on-prem hosting. Except, now, they represent a higher opex cost than even payroll.
I see no reason why OpenAI isn’t just charging peanuts for service to build a gigantic user base who can’t think without it, then jacking the price up to whatever they want — and I can assure you, if Sam Altman has the option to become an immortal trillionaire, he will take it.
Only if it actually can do their job, which is… Doubtful
Yes, and as we’ve seen time and time again, companies are totally cool when operating costs suddenly revert back to what they were years ago.
You need to double employee pay to focus on this. If a person takes home $30K gross, the employer’s likely paying double that.
Your pay is not what the employer pays for your labor. At the low end of the pay scale, it’s closer to double. Worker’s comp insurance, unemployment taxes, HR costs, shitloads of things add up. With AI, they’re gambling on deleting all that overhead.
Fair point!
Can’t see why the upcoming price hikes aren’t obvious. Think these AI companies are going to eat shit forever?
CEOs think on a quarterly basis, exclusively. Any problems that result are next quarter’s problem!
If you are thinking, “gee whiz, that seems like an insane and deeply unsustainable idea,” you would be right.
Yeah… fuck that guy
