Louder for people at the back:
If ‘AI’ gives you a 20% productivity increase, in an economic system that rewards growth at the expense of everything else, the rational thing for any company to do is use that productivity increase to expand into new markets. This may involve some redundancies because you need different skills for the new opportunities but they will be matched by increased hiring in the other areas. If you and your competitors both see a 20% increase in productivity and you use it to make people redundant and they use it to ship more products in more areas, then they will grow at your expense. Their products will be better than yours and you will lose market share.
If you are claiming that you have redundancies because ‘AI’ is increasing productivity, then one of the following is true:
- Your leadership team does not understand market economics (in which case, investors should worry that the board has not replaced obviously incompetent leadership).
- You are an unchallengeable monopoly and have already filled all adjacent markets and have literally no possibility of growth (in which case, investors should take note and set their price predictions based on today’s revenue, with no expectation of future growth, which would wipe out over 80% of Meta’s market cap).
- You are lying about productivity gains (in which case, investors should worry about what else you’re lying about and should start prodding the SEC to investigate).

@david_chisnall I think it is clear to everybody except investors. Or maybe even to them, but they are just waiting for the best moment to get the biggest profit before the bubble explode.

You are leaving out the most likely one: you have overhired in the zero interest / pandemic era and are using AI as a useful cover to hide the fact

@david_chisnall This time, I wish there was more sarcasm in the toot, but you used it all up in a previous toot - like I said earlier 😬🙄

@gotofritz I believe this is a special case of 'You are lying about productivity gains'.

@david_chisnall funnily enough this sort of argument would be very familiar to Marxists, since the status of automation as commodity means productivity gains from automation are equally available to market participants, thus leaving labor as the main differentiator

@david_chisnall this, of course, assumes investors are rational.
Which they are not.
And also, I am pretty sure a bunch of investors are doing the "I know this is a scam but I am going to ride it and I am smart enough to exit early when shit starts hitting the fan" dance.
Which, they are also not.

@david_chisnall Tell me he's not a reptilian.
You can't.@earsmeardius @david_chisnall ah yes. The absurd Babylon Brotherhood conspiracy theory. I can’t check now but there’s a hilarious video on YouTube called something like 7 signs you’re dating a reptile. Some people commenting (when I saw it) were totally taking the absolute piss but iirc some people were dead serious about it. As you would expect the ‘evidence’ can be explained by a lot of things. Obviously. Anyway it’s a hilarious video if you find it.

Fourth bullet: you don't give a trump about who will buy your product or service.Does any #nazitech company works on autonomous agentic buyer now? If so whose money this shopping ai agent is meant to spent? Purchasing power of the #protein buyer population diminishes with each wave of layoffs.

@david_chisnall Pay no nevermind to the fact that with every salvo of layoffs their stock prices jump up.

@rysiek @david_chisnall They mistook „never ride the bubble you aren’t blowing yourself” for a call to blow harder.

See the news today. That’s no longer happening, even Wall Street eventually catches onto the obvious.

@KimCrayton1 I was an expat for 11 years, our family lived in Lebanon, my Dad was a professor at the American University of Beirut. I think the defining characteristic is that we, and all of Lebanon's tens of thousands of other expats, knew that one day we'd pull up stakes and head home. We were not really members of Lebanese society.
