RE: White Collar Jobs: The Robots Are Coming For Them

if they keep the reality of the situation quiet, workers might go along as if nothing is wrong.

Yeah the majority of people are completely in the dark.

My best friend works for one of the top 3 retailers in Canada, I wont say who, his job is literally to automate people out of work, to eliminate FTE. He manages an automation team that is going through the whole supply chain right down to store level and eliminating FTE through automation software.

I don't know where the world of work is going but I know kids these days better be learning to code from a young age. If you're not building them, you're probably going to be replaced by them at some point..

The problem with this viewpoint is the presumption that AI wont be able write its own code. We are already starting to see it do this. It also is reviewing code written by humans, correcting errors.

So that might be off the table by the end of this decade.
