Who keeps fucking quoting this idiot and posting it?
I’m just reddit reposting. Can’t take that credit
You chose to repost it.
Leave the slop on the slop website. We don’t want it.
Well, you postet it.
As long as they understand those electricians and plumbers should be charging them 5-10x what they are charging now. If their AI can’t do it, it’s gone from blue collar to bespoke work.
What went wrong before that we didn’t need them? Why now, to build datacenters?
We need more leather workers to make cool jackets.

Assuming AI is really going to take these jobs full stop, something else needs to happen outside of people reschooling themselves for blue collar work.
I understand there might be a temporary uptick in required blue collar work as we prepare infrastructure to handle this bullshit but we definitely don’t need everybody that’s currently doing any kind of office work to be an pixie or pipe wrangler.
There are no AI safe jobs in this context. There are only jobs AI can’t do yet. But they aren’t safe. The remaining people will flood whatever job market is left if something doesn’t change and then people absolutely won’t be making a 100k with no degree. Besides, if AI is really going to take most of the white collar jobs it’s only a matter of time before those robots get good enough to take blue collar jobs too.
Also by telling everybody what to do (become a plumber or electrician in this case) you’re creating the same problem in the long term we have now with all the people that were told becoming a developer was the future and now find themselves with a crippling debt, meager income, and bleak prospects in the job market.
Tax billionaire and the one trillionaire to pay for trade schools to be free.
It’s never too late to go to trade school. We have way too many CEOs anyway, so it’d be a good moment for him to think about his future career.
Fuck off, Jensen.
CEO says a thing journalism!
Next up: pop artists opinion on climate issues and global politics
white collar CEO attempts to sway public opinion by appealing to blue collar workers sensibilities
What, can’t the AI robots do it? I’m ready for my Jetsons lifestyle where I do 2 hours worth of work a month and have a robot maid.
What’s all this plumbing that suddenly need to doing?
It annoys me to no end every single dumbass statement these idiot CEOs make is treated like news
Does this idiot know what trades make? He’s trying to denigrate blue collar, but sparkies and plumbers make miiiint
Yeah, very rarely do tradespeople get rich, but most I know live very, very comfortably, don’t have insane hours or overtime, unless they provide emergency services, which usually pay insanely by the hour, have absolute job security. One of my son’s buddies is an Electrical engineer. He quit his job at a corpo, took the certification exam, and became an electrician. Makes way more that as an engineer, and has much higher QOL.
My brother-in-law did this and has become a locksmith. He has a great future ahead of him creating YouTube drama with lock companies.
Downside is your apprenticeship is having to eat insane amounts of shit
Not once some damn startup funded by people like this idiot start an app and through shady practices drive out all the independent tradesmen and make it a gig job.
they try, but all it means is that the shit workers end up blowing up houses and the good workers make some extra pocket money for christmas before fucking off back to their real employers.
Nah, that ain’t trying. When they actually try it’ll involve billions and billions of dollars in startup funding so that the companies can lose money for a good decade long enough to actually drive everyone else out of business. That there is amateur hour.
Might happen in the US. Won’t happen in any country where unions are functional.
Ain’t nobody safe from the horrors of capitalism. Ever. It can always be ripped away. If your instance is any indication you should know that better than any.
no shit dude. But a key part of that process is destroying unions, hence my proviso any country where unions are functional.
Wait he’s not wearing a wankjacket, that’s a Jensenbot!
theres only so much AI chips, the jensenbot chassis can hold.
