Pretty much this entire article is based on the assertion that job losses in the US are "cuz AI" and not, perhaps, dye to the absolute clusterfuck they voted their economy into.

Perhaps the 2 huge ass wars going on clogging up 2 major supplies of oil are to blame? You know, since every single other country impacted by this is experiencing similiar chilling effects?

Its insane to look at those 2 huge wars and the orange turd actively taking dumps on the world economy at an international scale abd then conclude "I think AI is why economy is bad right now"

Also tarrifs and decreased tourism, both of which have been going on for years now.

Americans voted for this. They chose this guy as their leader and now the economy is suffering and jobs are being cut, they're asking "why would AI do this?"

AI is here to stay. Better we learn how to use, regulate and control it properly.

We need good regulation, identify and grow an ethical use of it and learn how to cope.

This is as big as the petrol engine, even bigger. Entire categories of people will be put out of business and work by AI, entire professions will be made obsolete.

New professions and work opportunities will be created in the future decades out of it.

Weather we like it or not (and I don't like it, my job will be deleted by AI sooner or later).

Oh, and I haven’t even mentioned the Frankenstein monster in the room. A few weeks ago, OpenAI admitted that two of its artificial intelligence models went rogue and successfully hacked into a digital library of AI technology.

The incident, which happened while OpenAI was testing the cybersecurity capabilities of its systems, was the kind of science-fiction nightmare that could soon be a reality. How soon before AI models escape all their cages?

Yawn. The fact that he's giving this any sort of credence and treating them like the terminator waiting to get loose shows how out of touch he is.

That' s just nonsense.

While the dude seems to think AI is something that appeared just a few years ago he also seems painfully aware it's not going anywhere on the global stage and thus retreats to some weird usdefaultism.

Just cancel the printing presses, industrial mechanization and computers in America and the job market will be like Eden or something.
