🚨 #TechWeenieAlert

“OpenAI chief executive #SamAltman downplayed the threat of #AI #killingJobs just days after #WiseTech informed the police of “threats of violence” against its #CEO, who is using the #technology to replace thousands of its #workers.”

“The #Jobs picture is likely to be very different than we thought,” Altman told Commonwealth Bank boss #MattComyn in a virtual appearance at an AI event in Sydney hosted by the bank. “I don’t think we’re going to have the kind of #JobsApocalypse that some of the companies in our space advocate, or talk about.”

Bull shit boi at it again.
