  1. A lot of classes of jobs have already been about 60-80% eliminated by AI, or forever changed, or both. Most definitely in my field of IT, that is unquestionably true. And in health care and various research fields. And it removes the drudgery from a really wide range of tasks. We can't hide.

  2. AI's not ready for a lot of things that sci-fi and various lying CEOs want it to be ready for. That's true. It's absolutely ready for prime time in a lot of ways, though. That's a proven fact that's not going away. Whether we're ready for it (we're not) is sort of beside the point. It's here.

  3. I'd say this is partly true, but like it or not, many jobs of the near future will increasingly require familiarity with AI and how to use it well. Loose talk about all AI being just "autocorrect" just distracts from the reality here, in addition to being, well, obviously not true.

  4. BTW, if you're going to be a coward and hide behind anonymity, it's bad form to doxx others and take advantage of the fact that they aren't afraid to hide their identity. Fight fair or just keep quiet.

  5. I'm saying it because it's true. Cook is doing the bare minimum to keep idiot-Hitler calm. He's not saying any bullshit about Trump's unique genius like so many other CEOs are.

    What would you have him do? As CEO he has a legal obligation to protect Apple's financial interests. And he's doing it.
