Shopify employee breaks NDA to reveal firm replacing laid off workers with AI
If the promise of AI means I can do 1/2 the amount of work and maintain my high quality life, then I'm all for it.However, every advancement that has come in the last 100 years that improved efficiency has only meant we're pushed to work more and do more. So I am now expected to do 2x the work.If you're really dreaming for AI that can wipe-out entire classes of decent middle-class jobs in one big swing, don't forget that we're going to take down the world economy with it and it's going to be a very long recession where nobody will win.Meanwhile, those lucky enough to have made it to the top will continue to horde all the profits.
