How are they "out of work"?
Does this mean there are no jobs that need to be done?
Sounds like progress to me, or just entitled whiners unwilling to adapt.

So can a wet cardboard box
Guy who sells Segways insists "Ford Motor Company will be bankrupt in 10 years. Everyone is going to own a Segway and the automotive industry will be toast."
Guy who sells Beyond Burger announces "This is the end of the ground beef industry. I wouldn't bother raising any new cows any time soon because our burgers are better in every way. Nobody is going to want to eat meat in another five years. Our product is just that good."
Guy who sells Fleshlights proclaims "The wedding ring industry is not going to survive to the end of the decade because..."
To be fair, beyond burgers are actually better than beef but people will never accept that.
But what if I want to marry my Fleshlight...
You have to exchange cock rings.
Wonder how the millennials are gonna handle being the rich generation in a decade when there boomer parents die off and they inherit overinflated property values combined with them being the only one with well paying jobs since they got in when there were at least a couple rungs on the bottom of the ladder.
This parasite is just copying same the parasite with these paid fake news opeds...
Plebs really should not engage this slop IMHO
If misanthropic is hating humans, what is Anthropic?
"human".
Now, does that make sense for an AI company?
Yes actually. They're trying to tell you "we define what human means now". It is a threat.

Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps I guess?
Oh, and you better have positive entreprenuerial vibes or else you just aren't manifesting hard enough.
I'm gen X working in a field and job that will absolutely be hit HARD by this. I'm fully aware I'm most likely working my last "real" job before I'll have to move on to gigs. I'll surely not be eligible for pension when this starts happening (only 41) but I fully expect my position to be taken by AI somewhere in the next 5 years.
I'm not fighting it. Something tells me the entire world will have... other attention-demanding proclivities in 5 years, and employment may not even be in the top 10 at that time.
@ 41, you are a Millennial friend.
The dates are fuzzy, because generations are more cultural than clinical.
If person born in 1984 grew up thinking "I could get a good job but what's the point" and worried about nuclear war constantly, they might ID as genX.
Millennials: “I could work forever and die with nothing, the environments going to kill us all painfully, but fuck it memes”
Yes, genX is kind of characterized by 'boomer class betrayal' apathy, growing up in the reggae/punk/goth and oldskool hiphop music era, and Pong to Quake gaming.
Huh, yeah that's interesting I hadn't thought of it that way.
Xennial then :p
Yupper. Wish you and yours the best.
everyone knows that impending crisis is looming, subconsciously or otherwise. Don't look up.
Latch onto things in the meantime while you distance yourself from the amalgam of disasters you can't do shit to prevent.
Ai is the indicator we're finished creating anything new or meaningful as a society. We don't want to put in the effort. Easy only. Cash in.
"We use to make things in this country. Now we just put our hands in the next guys pocket."
Yup, currently in "enjoy it now, might not be there anymore tomorrow" mode.
