7th Heaven

from The Shift Register · host Lyle Sharp

This week's issue has many articles pointing at more AI job losses both this year and in the nearfuture. From unskilled labor to executive management positions, AI is being positioned to take muchof human labor. It's very difficult to tell whether this will create some positive condition for ahumanity freed from labor, or an expansive impoverishment of general humanity with a few superrich pulling the strings of an artificial workforce. I'm sure it will be some combination of the two, buttrends to date point more towards the latter. Thanks to StableAudio for the bumper track and NotebookLM for the podcast summary.
