    I am 60 years old. When computers started, I was told the work week would be reduced to 4 days a week. Today, people I know must work more hours, not less.
  • @theREALsum
    If they said AI can now replace all CEO's of companies so that they can run better. It would be a different tune they would be singing.
  • @nathandavis931
    It will give us more free time to think about things like "man I'm hungry" "remember when we used to live inside" "I wish I could go to the doctor, but I don't have insurance anymore". So much free time.

    You know when tech bros call everyone a luddite? Never forget that the Luddites didn't just randomly hate machines. They smashed machines that were used by rich robber barons to produce garbage products in dangerous conditions without training and appropriate compensation. They weren't mad at machines, they were mad at their standards of living being deliberately and maliciously torpedoed for the sake of profits and power.

    I was laid off from an office job in 2006 and had three years of self-actualizating me time before I could find full-time work again. You'd be surprised at how little time I spent creating art and how much time I spent worried that I'd become homeless.
  • The problem with AI is not that it can do the work of employees for them It's the fact the corporation thinks it can do the employees's work for them
  • @MatthewMS.
    The World is a much better place when Jon Stewart is hosting the Daily Show. Jon IS the daily show.

    Had an IT instructor (in 2000) tell us there will never be a need for a system drive larger than 8GB's. People know what they know, but they rarely see the future accurately.
  • @robincog4358
    AI should first replace CEOs ... their job is pretty easily replaceable by a general talking head
  • @FatalKitsune
    "Raise prices astronomically and also fire everyone" is an extremely sound business model and there's no way this can go wrong.
  • @jwbflyer
    It was never about AI. This is just a new chapter of the Bourgeoisie vs the Proletariat.
  • I don't need AI for creativity, I want it to clean my house, wash dishes, windows, put on a new roof & a screened-in porch 😊
  • @jaredv5692
    Companies keep forgetting, if you keep replacing/reducing your workforce, there won't be enough people who can afford to buy your products. You can't keep upping your profit margins forever...
  • @warprail
    I'm reminded of the Twilight Zone episode where the manager of a factory begins introducing automation to increase production and lower costs. It ends with the entire factory automated, the entire workforce laid off, and the people who once ran the factory are too impoverished to afford anything the factory produces.
  • @sterasigma8734
    He didn't get to discuss AI on Apple TV, glad he did on The Daily Show.
  • @pepetru
    The worst thing by now is that AI is replacing high-paid jobs rather than risky low-paid ones, so those CEOs' messages are clear: we only want cheap human slaves, not respected professionals.
  • @ryanbabb3344
    Jon Stewart coming back to the daily show was the best thing to happen in 2024
  • @R.Jaaaay
    So many people in this country are absolutely UNHINGED
  • @EricGonzalo
    Jon channeled that inner George Carlin in there, that prompt engineer as "Vice President of Question Input" and janitors as the "Doctor of Mopping." Such great lines and delivery.
