Someone in media claiming their entire staff waw wiped out by an AI company called 
Q.Ai
For context I work production in local news. Recently there’s been developments in AI driven systems that can do 100% of the production side of things which is, direct, audio operate, and graphic operate -all of those jobs are all now gone in one swoop. This has apparently been developed by the company Q ai.
For the last decade I’ve worked in local news and have garnered skills I thought I would be able to take with me until my retirement, now at almost 30 years old, all of those job opportunities for me are gone in an instant. The only person that’s keeping their job is my manager, who will overlook the system and do maintenance if needed. That’s 20 jobs lost and 0 gained for our station.
We were informed we are going to be the first station to implement this under our company. This means that as of now our entire production staff in our news station is being let go. Once the system is implemented and running smoothly then this system is going to be implemented nationwide (effectively eliminating tens of thousands of jobs.) There are going to be 0 new jobs built off of this AI platform.
There are people I work with in their 50’s, single, no college education, no family, and no other place to land a job once this kicks in. I have no idea what’s going to happen to them. This is it guys. This is what our future with AI looks like. This isn’t creating any new jobs this is knocking out entire industry level jobs without replacing them.

The writing has been on the wall for a long ass time
It’s really fucking hard to warn people about this because 1) if you post about it online you’re essentially just talking to yourself and 2) people irl think you’re being dramatic
Join the doomers!
Completely unironically, I was hoping that people would staunchly refuse any adoption of LLMs/AI (to the point where they threatened violence over it) and it would just die out like NFTs or the crypto bubble. But since it does have some utility, it looks like it’s here to stay.
Remember the outrage in response to the George Floyd murder? Why can’t we have that all the time?
Like what?
Increased P R O D U C T I V I T Y
Also, when not hallucinating, outputting passable results for most C-suites and upper managers no matter how soulless
That outrage was in no small part fueled by the frustration and uncertainty of sudden changes brought on by COVID and four years of trump presidency. It was a perfect storm
