I mean that shite is unsustainable. Agreeing to that makes no sense.
UPS is a blue collar job and has been paying their drivers extremely well for a long time and they still bring in BILLIONS of proft. I think this points to the opposite and shows that these massive corporations can afford to pay their employees a good wage and still rake in massive profts.

Back in the early 1960s NASA used robotic welders on the fuel tanks of the Saturn V rocket stages.

Well thankfully the rich will get richer. I’m all for capitalism, but at some point, there has to be a human aspect for it to keep flourishing.

The UPS job losses are due to tariffs.
You mean labor unions that voted to increase wages that made it unafordable to UPS.

These companies are cleaning out corporate bloat in management. All of these companies have like 12 levels of management that just clog stuff up and soak up money. My company cut out like 1000 executive level positions recently and nobody can receive any difference. Those people were contributing nothing

Current layoffs have very little to do with AI. It re-benchmarking and re-baselining economies of scale across the ecosystem - mostly a result of piss poor policy from our government as a result of COVID and DEI.
What the CEOs from Nvidia, Palantir and AMD are explaining is that AI allows corporations to expand at a horizontal rather than vertical method to maintain and seize additional market shares. Yes people will lose jobs, but in the long run, more jobs will be created based on the expansion of industry. It’s not much different conceptually in reference to the explosion of factories in the US between 1805-1860. So many manual laborers who weaved cloth, created sails for ships, so and so forth, were replaced by machines. That didn’t mean the industry stayed static from an employment standpoint over time thereafter, the industries just expanded horizontally to do more business, and therefore, require more jobs.
The issue in today’s paradigm should be around monopolies - large caps have a massive advantage over everyone else in terms of the adoption of AI. It’s inherit that we’ll see a consolidation of industry over the next 50 years that will have negative effects on average joes. What the worry should be for all is if our government has enough stones to enact a similar anti-trust act that we observe from the early 1900s to combat this

Well when automated machines came to factories people lost their job but you need guys there to fix the machines. So those guys got jobs.
But maybe you trade 40 people on a line for 2 mechanics.

No companies are spending 100's of billions of AI except other BS AI companies. They will use it as the excuse to lay off all the debt weight they've been carrying since COVID though.

It might not be 100bb but companies like Fidelity are absolutely investing in AI at a very high level and succeeding.

JFC... Your TDS is off the fricking charts insane. This thread had NOTHING to do with Trump. AI was being developed and was coming with or without Trump. What the frick is your major malfunction, numb nuts? Trump broke your feeble little brain.

So, when does the hiring start? Because all I’ve seen is bloodbath after bloodbath. Tech is basically being massacred on a regular basis, between the hundreds of thousands laid off of the last few years, outsourcing, and H1Bs. Outside of trades (for now) and healthcare (and not all of it), I don’t see any field that isn’t going to see a decline.
