    Although LLMs are an unreliable shitshow, capitalists are so thirsty to eliminate jobs they will push onward with it regardless

    please… CEOs are already aware AI has been a waste of time and any job lost to AI is by definition a bullshit job.

      I wish CEOs were all that smart.

      Idk, I wouldn’t consider entry level software jobs bullshit but those jobs are disappearing quickly with AI. A lot of entry level grunt work jobs will probably be going away, what’s determining whether AI can replace it is more whether it is basic and repetitive rather then whether it’s valuable to society.

        Who wants a junior that doesn’t learn? If you tell the Ai to fix something today it’s not going to remember that fix tomorrow or next year therefore wasting your time constantly fixing their fuckups. A junior actually learns how to do things and retains that information.

    And absolutely no one will do anything about it, because the “progress” must continue
