Marc Andreessen says VC may be one of the last fields safe from AI after it replaces most workers, as it requires "intangible" skills like psychological insight (Lucas Ropek/Gizmodo) https://gizmodo.com/marc-andreessen-says-one-job-is-mostly-safe-from-ai-venture-capitalist-2000596506 http://www.techmeme.com/250430/p47#a250430p47

I'm nearly finished with Sarah Wynn-Williams's Careless People (based on @pluralistic 's rec) and I finally have a sense who Marc Andreessen is.

Color me unimpressed.

@cavyherd @paul @pluralistic I also checked out Sarah Wynn-Williams's Careless People and I had to just put it down. It's far more awful than I could even imagine. They did exactly the kind of things I was telling people they could do, such as sway elections by changing the algorithms, but I honestly never thought anyone was evil and greedy enough to do that. And all of them are only as smart as enriching themselves and not anyone else.

@ozoned @paul @pluralistic

And the crowning irony (which I haven't heard her mention yet) is that this is •exactly what she wanted to bring to their attention by working there•

"Only smart at enriching themselves & impoverishing everyone else," you mean....

Yeah, unimaginable Evil becoming a practical reality is...definitely something, all right....
