Marc Andreessen says AI workers hold clear advantages over human employees on the Joe Rogan podcast because they avoid illness, intoxication, depression, and HR complaints

@GaryMarcus Your emotional post doesn’t change Andreessen’s point. Why pay more for inferior work?

@GaryMarcus And has NO emotional/spiritual intelligence and thus is very capable of exterminating humankind. In fact, if you do simplest logic play out of where this is going it is inevitable.

@GaryMarcus On the other hand, hopefully we will never again have to hear some AI apologist/evangelist say that “AI is a tool of human empowerment, not a replacement.” Andreessen has pretty effectively punctured an enormous hole in that argument!

@GaryMarcus They don't understand that an economy doesn't last with just rich people. They either have to kill off the poor, or give them money. I think they would choose kill.

@SistroMondain @GaryMarcus Found the guy who can't smell his own shit on his knees. Even assuming Andreessen is right, think further. Or reveal yourself to be a total asshole that does not care about his follow human beings, that is alright as well on here.

@GaryMarcus The value system he describes also explains his preference for temporary foreign workers on H-1B.

@GaryMarcus There are a lot of people in high places who lack sufficient compassion and empathy to be in leadership positions. They either didn’t have it to begin with or they lost it along the way – power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

@GaryMarcus It's telling what he lists. Primacy & recency bias.

"Never gets drunk ... Never files HR complaints"

@GaryMarcus By same logic nobody needs Marc Andreessen either, we can just replace him with a bot. Actually let's replace all 8B humans with bots. It will be better. 🤦‍♂️

@SistroMondain @GaryMarcus Doesn’t matter if it financially ruins the majority of ppl? Andreessen has said before he just goes forward and doesn’t reflect at all about the consequences of the decisions he makes on society. Is this the type of person you want making big decisions for everyone else?

@vegasbeard19 @SistroMondain @GaryMarcus I think we can just go back to the days before the libertarians had convinced everyone in America that for the goverment to regulate business at all was a sin against God and nature, and that would be preferable to embracing an authoritarian playbook. Moderate policy.

@GaryMarcus that quote really said "youre replaceable and i dont care" in the nicest possible way

@GaryMarcus AI is great for Technical Support:

@michael_kove @GaryMarcus Just don’t abuse your workers, bro

@Joel__Collinson @DataJuggler007 @GaryMarcus Why would the rich sell to each other? And why would they still be rich when their entire wealth is their companies valued based on amount of things those companies sell to customers?

You're missing the point that rich know they're rich because millions of customers exist...

@SistroMondain @GaryMarcus Because the economy is an ecosystem, not a closed loop.

@GaryMarcus @pmarca why didn't you say "never causes HR issues" rather than "raise complaints"...your angle is a bit weird on that point, but agree with the gist

@GaryMarcus Look at the bright side, when they lose control of ai, he’s just as fucked as the rest of us.

@GaryMarcus He's factually correct tho.

Human labor had been a liability to the business since invention of HR & unions.

But we do need solution where workers aren't just replaced with robots

@GaryMarcus Very heartless @pmarca showing out on camera
