A new survey reveals that the relentless wave of tech industry layoffs combined with the rise of AI has fueled widespread anxiety over job security among American workers. More than 72 percent of Americans making more than $150,000 fear losing their jobs to AI and other sources of economic insecurity, while even 50 percent of those making under $50,000 feel the same way.
Fast Company reports that the constant stream of mass layoff announcements from major tech companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Twitter in recent months has caused an atmosphere of uncertainty across the workforce. Compounding these concerns is the rapidly advancing field of AI and its potential to disrupt various professions. A survey conducted by online marketing firm Authority Hacker has put numbers to these mounting job security fears.

They had better start voting for Trump then.
AI is too dumb and when creates from itself it increases the dumb
Fix my sentence: AI is too dumb and when creates from itself it increases the dumb

AI is often considered unintelligent, and when it creates itself, this only exacerbates its lack of intelligence.
It won’t matter. The goal is getting rid of thousands of highly paid time-wasting DIE employees. The work product is already suspect, profits will be higher without the deadweight.
you will own nothing and be happy
Everyone should worry about layoffs—to be replaced by illegals, to be replaced by H1B, or by AI. Few Americans should feel secure in their jobs nowadays.
“They had better start voting for Trump then.”
I don’t follow your logic. You cannot put a technology genie back in the bottle. Would you have Trump ban all AI R&D? Ban its use?
LOL...you asked the stupid AI to fix your human-written sentence pointing out the pitfalls of AI. AND, it did a darn good job, too!
More than ever, this is why to be self-employed instead of a wage slave.
At General Dynamics I went to my boss with a proposal to automate all of the reports we put out, mostly on a monthly basis. It was probably fifty percent of our billing. Now, I had in mind other things we could do with our time that would be more productive. He said, “Yeah, you can go ahead and automate those reports, but you’ll be the first one I lay off.” (Can you say empire building? I knew you could!)
In the past, virtually every disruptive technology has led eventually, to even more employment. It will just be different employment. But, already, you can get legal programs to do most of the work that is the bread and butter of lawyers. Same with accounting and the professions. It’s already here. It’s already happening. We’ll survive. And, like the sewing machine, which was not well received, AI will lead to much better lives for most of us.
Exactly. Its a back door way of culling out the unproductive, profit destroying wokesters who have infested the companies.
Learn to code!!!
I have been self employed for 15 years now. Commie COVID lockdowns destroyed my business and Biden’s klan of merry bureaucrats are making sure they are doing everything in their power to make sure it will never recover.
It was gangbusters during Trump’s term.
” to fix your human-written sentence”
Not my sentence.
My son writes computer code, and his response was to buy AI software to stay ahead of the curve.
AI will remove alot of “make work” jobs, like HR and DEI.
AI, foreigners, and robotics is just a narrative thrown out their for people to blame when they lose their employment.
The actually reality is bottom line numbers.
They have bloated salaries that can no longer be serviced by their productivity.
So if you don’t make over $150k or under $50k, you are in pretty good shape?
I will readily admit that the algorithm developments are impressive, but the machine didn't develop them.
But to answer your question, Trump will not allow AI to replace man. Because all of the innovations come from man, not machine. Machines have the capacity to rapidly access data quicker than any man, and even run some tests, but it is still vulnerable to make mistakes, because it can only do what it does based upon the input man has provided to it. It cannot conclusively determine if its conclusion will match the conclusion that actual human tests will provide.
In other words, there is no genie in the machine. It wouldn't exist without man, and a machine can be programmed to repair other machines, and it may be able to even diagnose problems. But until all of the possible fixes are given to it, it knows nothing.
