Jeff Bezos on AI job doomers: "These people ARE WRONG. What's really going to happen [AI] is going to elevate all these [jobs] people" "Someone is about to hand you a bulldozer (versus shovel to dig)" "We're going to have so much productivity in our economy" "I predict we're going to have deflation in certain [things due to producivity gains. food cheaper, housing construcrtion cheaper]"

Unquestionably there are some companies that are shifting work as a result of AI, and that will impact some roles. But the majority of enterprises I talk to are using AI to do more in their organization.

As an example, by and large most companies outside of tech are realizing they now have the opportunity to do far more software development and technical work that they wouldn’t have been able to prioritize before.

It’s not that they couldn’t prioritize it because it wasn’t important. It’s because it would cost an ungodly sum of money to apply engineers to every problem you’d want in the business. Now, agents make it possible to finally do that work.

And because agents require (for as long as we can tell) some person in the loop somewhere to make decisions on what to implement, review the work, and incorporate it, that means that people are in the mix.

Yes, you may not be building a mobile app or game, but you’ll be automating life sciences drug discovery or bringing AI to an industrial manufacturing company. Endless amounts of work in all of these areas.

Jeff Bezos says that AI will "elevate" people at work, not replace jobs.

@pmarca Everyone I know that is employing AI is able to create so much additional work for themselves they're busier and more productive than ever before. If AI is putting you out of work you're doing it wrong.

@DavidSacks So based. Except… when you switch from digging with shovels to bulldozers at scale, you need a lot less manpower. 😬

@DavidSacks Rich old guys who already made their fortunes aren’t worried about AI.

Whew!

That should put everyone's mind at ease. 🤡

Chris@nogeorgehere

@CNBC He’s being disingenuous here.. If AI makes the jobs more efficient, then they don’t have to hire as many people.

Why else would corporations waste time and money to.. not save time and money?

Make that make sense

@CNBC AI is already replacing jobs, so Jeff Bezos is a liar and knows he is lying.

@DavidSacks I like HRT Bezos but he's wrong about abundance leading to a spouse dropping out of the work force. He's underestimates envy and the ratcheting of desire.
