Why are corporations announcing business deals from the White House? There doesn’t seem to be any public ownership/benefit here, aside from potential job creation. Which could be significant. But the American public doesn’t seem to gain anything from this new company.

I thought the business prop for AI was that it eliminates jobs?

It will. The short-term sale is that it will create thousands of temporary jobs, and long-term reduce hundreds of thousands of jobs, while handing the savings to stock holdings and moving wealth to the stockholders.

Looks on pace to eliminate every human job over 10 years.

What is the hard limiting factor constraining software and robots from replacing any human job in that time span? Lots of limitations of current technology, but all seem likely to be solved within that timeframe.

What data to you have to support such a claim?

From Zuckerberg, for example:

>> "a lot of the code in our apps and including the AI that we generate, is actually going to be built by AI engineers instead of people engineers."

Ikea's been doing this for a while:

>> Ingka says it has trained 8,500 call centre workers as interior design advisers since 2021, while Billie - launched the same year with a name inspired by IKEA's Billy bookcase range - has handled 47% of customers' queries to call centres over the past two years.
