"Your economic life expectancy ends effectively in 2 years. (because AI is becoming so competent). A human team (in a job settings) will make it worse because they go to sleep, they make errors, they wake up a bit grumpy when they don’t have a coffee. So your cognitive... value goes negative. So, your economic life expectancy ends effectively in two years.” - Emad Mostaque, founder of Stability AI, --- From "The Peter McCormack Show" YouTube channel, (full video link in comment)show more

Can anyone point to an example where the people who do this aren't the first people replaced? History isn't kind.

This is pure BS. I work with AI agents every day. They make lots of mistakes and they waste a lot of time. Their biggest advantages are for short tasks that don’t require any long term memory or specific learned skills. They’re cheaper than a person and in some ways more reliable, but not in all ways. Most of this talk of “in two years AI will run everything” is for the purpose of building a narrative to raise money and create exit liquidity. There are some lunatics who believe it. But most of it is essentially a financial scam.

We will see there will be a revolution and heads will strung up

we r alrday seeing the early signs of that revolution. all these threatening against data center and life threats against top AI leaders.

True and it hasn't even started.. the college grads left with huge debt and no options or future.. Remember learn to code? hows that working out, its gona get crazy

Don't listen to the doomers/anti-AI people, they're functionally retarded. Jevon's paradox mandates that work will expand to take advantage of the new capabilities of AI. The doomers at the beginning of the first industrial revolution thought that coal-fired steam engines would take all the jobs. They were wrong too. Instead, more coal fired processes led to an explosion of industry, and jobs. The same will happen with AI and robotics. Jevon's paradox. Learn about it and stop being blackpill tards.

Bro AI can’t do most jobs These guys know that this bubble is about to pop. They’re just saying shit to say it

So stupid. In 2 years an llm is going to wait tables, stock grocery stores, police communities, remodel homes, teach high school, provide counseling, life guard, repair airlines, provide security for EVERYTHING that is automated without a human... wakeup, until the world model and robotics take a leap in technology, llms will still hallucinate and not be viable for unsupervised work.

All this so called “AI experts” are talking from their own work experience, which in many cases is just sending emails and answering messages in slack… and for sure their job is going to be taken in 2 years at this pace… for the rest of the economy that demands real inputs it’s going to take way more for sure

This shit has to stop. Too many of you have only spent your lives in the digital world and have zero idea what it means to build a physical...anything. AI will disrupt many things, but when the SaaS folks say it will take an engineers job...maybe they are correct to say it will take a digital engineer's job (data science, programming, etc). It's not taking any ME's job anytime soon. Or an electrical engineer or a controls engineer. Yes, some of these jobs are ripe for disruption (controls engineers watch out). But this is just not true. Folks, use AI. Get really good at it will define you. It's not taking everyone's jobs. But it will make you better at what you.

the founder of a company that lost its top researchers and couldn't ship stable products on time is probably not the most credible source on human cognitive obsolescence timelines

We have less than 1000 days before all jobs can be done by ASI Sorry I ment less than 715 days

I’m not an economist….. …but if you fire everyone, who’s gonna buy your products?

Job augmentation is riskier than job loss. 𝟱𝟬% to 55% of jobs in the US will be reshaped by AI over two to three years, per Half the workforce supervising agents with no authentication, no injection defence, no commerce safety. Debt scales faster than productivity.

Maybe they are saying they will spend so much on the AI build out that the GDP will grow so fast and the dollar will be so diluted that, your money will be worthless... Because of inflation...

I like Emad, but I think he’s a little more optimistic than reality, and it’s freaking people out.

LOL you think AI doesn’t make errors?

the coffee joke is funny until you sit with it. a team that sleeps and gets groggy is competing with something that doesn't. I don't buy that every job dies in 2 years. I do buy that half the tasks inside those jobs go first, and the pile collapses from there.

Emad is pure signal. Is this a recent recording? It says 2 days old, but it's not a rehash right?

I'm looking forward to seeing how much fun these companies and the government will have when AI replaces 50% of the workforce. Let's see AI pay taxes and keep the circular economy going when humans can't afford to partake in the consumerism buffet because they have no jobs 😂

Over selling much?

These AI CEO's are glorified sales reps pushing a future hard enough to get more funding. None of this is coming in 2 years, let alone 20 year.

Dont listen to Mr Potato over there. Naturally as the potato is invested in an AI startup, his potato prospective only evolves around what ever narrative will benefit his potato interests.

the 2 year timeline assumes AI deployment speed matches AI capability speed and historically those are completely different curves

No one has a number on how many jobs is 50% tasks. And yet over the last 20 years of automation and advancements, job numbers have only gone up.

Guy is just talking to talk. Not sure why founder of an AI company wants to push the narrative that it’s going to destroy everything, but he’s wrong nonetheless

Idiots will apparently still be in abundance.

AI doesn't sleep. It also doesn't understand counterparty risk or regulatory drift.

Module two — The Tacit Knowledge Layer. Artificial intelligence is nothing but advanced programming; AI excels at computation, but entrepreneurial intelligence still belongs to human imagination. Lasting prosperity emerges when artificial intelligence amplifies human entrepreneurial capability rather than attempting to replace it. Tacit knowledge is unwritten and experiential — riding a bicycle, sensing a customer, negotiating under pressure, or building a business from uncertainty all belong to it. AI can process patterns from previous experiences, but tacit judgment still remains deeply human. The mother tongue of AI is Explicit, written knowledge, not Tacit the unwritten knowledge, as this is the natural language of entrepreneurs. SO? For more ask AI directly

In two more years, just predict a 2 year delay and then again and again

AI optimizes execution, but leverage still belongs to humans who ask the right questions and direct judgment. Cognitive value doesn't go negative—it just shifts from raw execution to strategic vision.

AI lacks will. It must be given direction.

Wtf is this bugeyed idiot talking about? Smh. More doom and gloom fake bullshit

Ai is great at software engineering, good at legal but sucks for a lot of other professions. Like badly .
