@technooptimist: Mark Zuckerberg: AI job fear is wrong "People are, I think, very fixated on this notion of, oh, AI is going to be able to, like, replace people's jobs." "It's the wrong mental model." "I mean, I guess if we get into, like, some kind of really deep recession and the order of the day is, like, everything needs to be more efficient, I guess AI can be used to make things more efficient." "But across what we do, there are all these places where there's stuff that just, like, wasn't cost-effective to do before. Like, provide voice customer support for everyone who uses Meta. It's like, all right, there's billions of people use it. That would cost so much to do. It would cost us so much. And we don't charge for our product. So our business model doesn't quite support that." "But OK, maybe now if you could have a voice AI that could answer 90% of people's questions, maybe now it makes sense to go hire the people to go answer the other 10% of questions that the AI can't. Because you could kind of, again, you're just getting this 10x leverage. And it's just super, super powerful." "This is where someone whispers, “Jevon's paradox,” from off stage." — Mark Zuckerberg interviewed by @Stripe’s John Collison #johncollison #artificialintelligence #jobloss #markzuckerberg #meta
