Comment on Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week
WarlordSdocy@lemmy.zip 4 weeks agoI feel like AI is just going to end up replacing interns or entry level people, it can do easy tasks that would take a while by hand to do. Which based on how bad the job market seems to have been for people like me just trying to enter it somewhat makes sense.

Yeah the whole missing entry level job thing for most industries is going to backfire with exploding wages for experienced people. Without training grads and apprentices there’s an ever decreasing pool of experienced people to pick from.

Yep but of course companies don’t care about it right now as right now it allows them to be more profitable in the immediate term.

Yeah we’ve structured the system so companies are mostly only responsible to shareholders, and shareholders really only care about short term gains with their only liability from the company is financial. Companies are always going have a focus on short term gains because thats what the system demands.
