Maybe if billionaire oligarchs fall out of windows and the world keeps turning, billionaire oligarchs weren't really needed either.

Funny enough an AI would do his type of job very well. Spout bullshit and hallucinate an outcome, with just enough factual information to sound plausible. Sounds like a ceo to me.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago

in idiocracy, the AI controls the society , no bosses, no csuites, no middle management but it built its "AI" on stupid peoples experiences.

Self awareness at an all time low there Sammy boy….

Sam Altman doesn't work a real job.

Jobs. Get.

I guess Yahoo’s headline writing AI doesn’t understand subject verb agreement. Unless Altman is talking about Steve Jobs, who is dead.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

If Steve Jobs gets wiped out…

If billionaires meet Luigi, maybe they weren't even real people to start with?

look I love to shit on AI, but this is a fucking terrible misleading headline

The thing about that farmer,” Altman said, is not only that they wouldn’t believe you, but “they very likely would look at what you do and I do and say, ‘that’s not real work.'”

This, Altman said, makes him feel “a little less worried” but “more worried in some other ways.”

“If you’re, like, farming, you’re doing something people really need,” Altman explained. “You’re making them food, you’re keeping them alive. This is real work.” But the farmer would see our modern jobs as “playing a game to fill your time,” and therefore not a “real job.”

“It’s very possible that if we could see those jobs of the future,” Altman said, we’d think “maybe our jobs were not as real as a farmer’s job, but it’s a lot more real than this game you’re playing to entertain yourself.”

Yeah that's way different, thanks for sharing.

Reading it like this: He is right. But my conclusion is most likely very different to the one OpenAi is offering. Thinking of David Graeber.

CEOs certainly do no real work.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world -5 points 1 week ago

Yes they're egregiously overpaid and they need to stop that, but see what hypothetically happens when CEO & entry-level employee trade places: https://youtube.com/shorts/BOa_rd0f0rQ

Says the guy with the company set to make billions and billions of dollars on the AI trained solely on the hard work of other people with zero compensation. Fuck you dude.

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 week ago

This actually jives well with the concept of the business idiot. https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-era-of-the-business-idiot/

AI is being promoted by the business idiots because they see how it makes their job disposable. On the other hand, people who do work know that AI isn’t actually that useful.

Sam is UI, Unintelligent.

[–] arox@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Where is he talking all these nonce from? Is he even real at this point?

[–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

He asked ChatGPT.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

did you read the article?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

chatgpt is uploaded in his mind, via the METAVERSE.

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I'm so sad to see the best possible way to legitimize a Universal Basic Income being wasted

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago

at the same time bill gates said the same thing, with different words.

[–] OctopusNemeses@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Read the article before replying. Too late for some of you anyways.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

You first, Sam.

AI doesn’t create value. It extracts value from the work of millions of people. Fuck Sam Altman.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

And here I thought it was going to be him referencing Graeber in a way that indicates he never read the full book or understood its point. But nope, dumber.

Altman, if the masses are unemployed and you're fabulously wealthy, well, read a history book to see what happens.

[–] aggelalex@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

He's right. AI isn't doing a good job anyway. If a company can """replace""" (cut) jobs like that and survive, the position is useless.

The question is, is it truly so? Or did this move start the company's doomsday clock?

[–] nightlily@leminal.space 4 points 1 week ago

If jobs replaced by LLMs and image generators aren’t real work, then what work did those steal from?

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Looking at most of the comments, it seems reading past the headline isnt real work either, as no one wants to do it... lol.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Not with that kind of headline, no.
Great, so now I did read it and it was a waste of time. I blame you Bunny Boy.

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Terrible headline.
