To those that laugh about this, yeah, it’s way to early to be effective. Now.

But the tech will get good enough. And jobs will be lost. Soon.

I understand being anti-robot/anti-AI, but if you aren’t taking this seriously, you are just taking too much copium.

I don’t care how much you think AI sucks or is silly. I don’t care how much proof you have that you are better than AI or robots. Management takes it seriously. Mangement doesn’t care that you can do your job better than robots/ai.

They care about how much money they save by not having to deal with you. Yes, there will be many companies that make poor choices and replace workers before the tech actually works for them.

But it doesn’t matter that they are wrong and that you are right. What matters is you won’t be working for them, and they aren’t going to call you up, offer an apology and beg you to come back.

Shit is changing. And not in your favor. You can laugh it off and shrug, or you can prepare for it. I prepared for it. Took care of my shit, took early retirement, and live a frugal debt-free lifestyle. I knew this was going to happen.

None of it surprises me.

What does surprise me, is how few Lemmy people take it seriously. I see “haha! AI sucks a coding!”

Who gives a fuck? Your company doesn’t care that you’re a better coder than AI. They care that right now they save money by getting rid of your salary and benefits. They aren’t thinking long-term. They are thinking about bragging rights of how much they saved by laying you off.

You all are idots to laugh these reports away. Glad I bailed on the workforce early!

If I were you, I’d stop jerking off to anti-Trump Lemmy posts, and start training as a fucking plumber. Robots ain’t gonna unclog toilets anytime soon. Tech will take over your job way before they take over a plumber’s job.

I’m right.
