Well you also have to give dumbfuck interviews about things you fundamentally misunderstand and (apparently) participate in dozens of fascist group chats at once. Truly the pinnacle of human behavior and development.

When your job is just "I/my friends have a lot of money to gamble," it turns out there's not much to it.

I'd bet real money that if you gave ChatGPT $5 billion and had it """invest""" it would do as well or better than most of these idiots. Poster children for "born on third base and think they hit a triple."

Yeah but if you get the ceremonial knife you can get rid of it and it becomes useful... wait we might be onto something here

Pirate joker tho

Tesla's humanoid robo plumber shows up, walks directly into a wall, and catches on fire. The clogged pipe is no longer a problem because your house burned down. reports it as a success in his statistics.

Yeah but that value COMES from somewhere. You speculate on the prospect of people BUYING something at SOME POINT.

I work in a factory.

The material handling drone-scooter things they have to replace the forklift operators keep running into shit lol

Factories do exist. We still make a lot of shit, we just don't make a lot of shit that other people want to (or can afford to) buy from us.

With the current LLM or LIM stuff? Unlikely.

LIMs are only used for high quantity quality assurance in factories rn. Mixing the stuff with automation in a way that will actually impact the factory floor is likely a decade off or more, at least in the U.S. Idk how LLMs will ever be able to get into the mix, given how specialized most factory processes actually are. Hell we can't even get CAM programs to automate themselves properly without correction and that shit has been in the work since CAD software was designed.

Most firms that are turning towards automation are not looking to remove workers (if they are competent) just up production quality and quantity and not have to raise wages by lowering basic manual vocational expertise. They are trying to make factory jobs, which had become more specialized with deindustrialization, into more general entry level jobs like the service industry again, where you can more easily plug and play less skilled workers rather than having to have a skilled operator, machinist, welder, etc on a machine for efficiency. Of course, all of this will also require semi-competent manufacturing engineers, which is a very slowly growing field in the U.S, despite being one of the O.G. engineering fields, so it will add white collar jobs.
