Funny, I see HN as having a high concentration of anti-AI comments and general AI doubt. Yours included.
The vibe among less technical people I talk to has a negative sentiment about AI and AI companies, but largely because they see AI as more effective and capable. They think it’s coming for their job and way of life and they don’t like that.
Your post captures exactly what I’m saying.
If AI is coming for people’s jobs and it’s more effective, the management of firms across multiple industries should reflect that by firing lots of people right now. Why wait? Collect the extra cash flows today given future expectations of technological progress. Who says no to more money? Lmfao.
Or… perhaps they don’t quite stand all that much behind that claim.
Moreover ‘less technical’ means what exactly? I referenced people who are senior managers who are trying to wedge AI where they can. Who are you referencing?
