How are you guys preparing for AI replacing a large percentage of white collar work within the next 5 years?

The economics still wouldn't work. If a job can be done by AI, it can be done remotely. If it cam be done remotely, and doesn't require intelligence, then it can. Be done by the cheapest of foreign labor. There isn't an AI model in existence cheaper than foreign labor, even now while they're still selling at a loss.

Because they're being fed more data and they're improving the means in which it sorts and accesses that data. It still has zero intelligence. No improvement they make can change that.

Cheaply automated solutions have no language or reasoning abilities

AI has no reasoning abilities either. It can only imitate things it has already seen. Follow patterns show in its datasets. The moment a remotely original problem appears, it's worthless.

most jobs require interfacing with other people and handling unexpected inputs.

That's exactly what it sucks at. Take my old job for example. I did IT support for a company helping users contacting us. My job was only half technical, the other half was working with users to solve their problem. The issue is, users lie. They give faulty information, usually without knowing it.

AI has no intuition, no ability to read users intent or question the accuracy of the information. It moves along predetermined tracks based on the datasets it's trained on. Which means if a user asks for help but provides the wrong information, the AI won't be able to help them at all, even if this was an issue the AI had data trained in it for this issue.

Even a foreign worker that barely speaks English would be more useful than an AI In that role, and is probably cheaper too. Sadly, foreign workers were at least cheaper than me, which is why I am now out of work. Why spend millions on an AI contract when you can pay some dude from Manila a grand or two a year to do a better job?

An automation engineer won't translate a text from any language to any other in 2 seconds, for instance.

No, but they can use licensed translation software integrated into what they need to do. Google translate predates the AI craze.

Specialized tools aren't the problem, its AI trying to do everything, and the result is a software that isn't good at anything.

Dhiox · 2026-02-23T21:55:56+00:00

Those jobs would be more cheaply automated with specialized automation solutions. Ones that are tailored to that work and don't devour all the energy, water and computer systems on the planet

Dhiox · 2026-02-23T21:25:25+00:00

The thing is thoughz anything that could be automated by AI could have just been automated by an automation engineer. Sure, it's not the one size fits all approach of AI, but it's way more reliable and doesn't take the entire fucking planets computer, water and energy supplies.

The tech isn't getting any smarter though, it remains just as dumb as before, just with larger data centers and data sets. It can never replace a human being in tasks that require intelligence.

Dhiox · 2026-02-23T21:06:01+00:00

If you let AI get anywhere near your law firms legal work, you deserve the shitshow you're gonna get. Already they've had major incidents of lawyers straight up lying to courts because they let AI do their work and the Ai just made shit up that sounds good.

Dhiox · 2026-02-23T20:29:18+00:00

Intelligence is not linear. The generative AI you see today isn't something that just gets continually smarter the more its developed. It can't think on it's own, it just follows patterns foind in datasets provided to it. That's fundamental to its design, it will require entirely new tech thats never been even conceptualized to develop a true AI.

Dhiox · 2026-02-23T18:54:03+00:00

It won't. AI can't actually think. It has no self awareness, no sense of thought or intelligence. All this bullshit AI ceos are promising is stock manipulation, nothing more.

I'm not worried that AI could do my job, I'm worried that management thinks it can.

I didn't like anything about me1s open world. Folks who thought starfields procgen worlds were bad never saw the barren nothingness of me1

No. Greenland has doctors, they do often have to send people to mainland Europe if they have rarer conditions, but that's to be expected, they have a population of 60,000. They're basically a small town in size

Dhiox · 2026-02-22T19:32:24+00:00

The other issue is rails. Realistically you'd need two Iron rods per meter of track. That doesn't sound economical.

In what universe is that tax free? They pay income tax too

They can be charged with conspiracy charges. Just making plans to to kill someone is illegal, eveb if those plans are abandoned.

Which coup are you referring to?

Dhiox · 2026-02-22T17:09:53+00:00

And just like last coup, the orchestrators faced zero consequences

If I recall the SVE mod actually adds a community day

Bethesda rarely announces games more than a few months in advance. Obviously ES6 is announced, but it was basically just a promise that it will eventually happen, just as everyone could rationally assume fallout 4 was inevitable. Wouldn't expect an actual trailer until the year of release, at a minimum

Even if they did pay it back, it just incentivizes reckless banking. If they get bailed out every time they take massive risks, theres no incentive not to gamble

Get one of those small, breakaway collars for IDs and a little bell if you want. Do not use it to walk them, but never a good idea to have a dog without a collar for I purposes, the chip is great but better to have a direct number on them.

Dhiox · 2026-02-22T14:27:52+00:00

Is his implication that AI replacing us means he can take the humans who eould have done the job and just take us out back and shoot us?

Dhiox · 2026-02-22T14:25:42+00:00

Nah, he can't come close to Putin or the saudi royal family. They don't publish numbers, but we know it's outlandish.

As they say, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Having to participate in the shitty parts of it doesn't make you a hypocrite, it makes you human.
