Pretty sure they just talked to an LLM to shit out that description and didn't read the output (who wants to).

Given my experience in the industry in 2025 they probably would have been reprimanded if someone in management caught wind that they were making blog entries without an LLM writing them.

It's going to be really funny when all of these companies who fired half their staff get the pot turned up to "we need to be profitable" pricing.

Yes, it will probably still be cheaper than a human being, especially a western one. But OpenAI would be stupid not to charge 5 digits to replace a 6 digit office worker.

Those with a job are likely to stay employed

Provably false. Microsoft just got through dumping 15,000 people for no reason. The hell are they talking about?

Private-sector layoffs are at historic lows

Another lie. This is how you can tell they know what they're doing is wrong. If they believed otherwise, they wouldn't try to hide it.

Many employers are loath to lay off workers

I'd call it propaganda but that would be redundant. Pure evil. Anyone who is still participating in this farce needs psychiatric help.

Mr. Zuckerberg, tariffs don't raise prices unless you insist on buying from overseas. Buy American. Then there is no tariff.

Every revoked immigrant work permit frees up a job for an American. It also very likely increases quality and reduces cost because Americans make higher quality products instead of cheap crap. We also have a superior work ethic.

And for the record, we've lost patience with your constant harping about technology labor shortages while you torment "working class families" with promises to destroy their jobs with AI.

The reason wages have been stagnant for 52 years is because of people like you. The people are fixing it, and we're going to fix it whether you like it or not.

Comment Speaking as a teacher who has used AI (Score 1) 21

I teach at a highly rated high school. I use AI to help me come up with ideas for lesson plans. I don't just accept it whole: even if I wanted to, AI lesson plans simply aren't coherent enough to actually use for an extended time.

As for the criticism that teachers use AI to make it, students use AI to do it, the process is a joke: it's two separate issues. Nobody cares how the teachers do it. We could use tarot cards, and if it made good lesson plans, hell yeah. The whole focus is on the students. Students need to know how to do the independent thinking on their own, or at least how to do the independent thinking with the assistance of an LLM (no teacher I know actually believes this, but I could see the argument being made).

And certainly every single teacher is aware that students can use AI to cheat. It's like at the forefront of teacher thought right now. I'm an English teacher using motherfucking blue books like it was 1987. Schools are all implementing paper tests, switch to in-class assignments only, weighting homework at 0% or nearby it because cheating on Homework has become trivial, etc.

Oh, finally, about AI grading. I'm sure it happens, but I've never heard of it happening. I guess I could see that for like a practice assignment? I don't think AI is trusted enough for students or parents to accept AI grading results, even if I wanted to do that.
