@LFCApproved yes, i want both of them

@AnfieldEdition @DKingTelegraph Although Slot’s departure is something I’ve been hoping to see, what I find hard to understand is why the fate of the head coach was left to an outsider who is just as insignificant in Liverpool’s club history.

@FabrizioRomano a top-tier player, an unqualified captain

[FR @FizzRam]

@LFCPlavi @postanythingLFC Yep, you're absolutely right, but it's meaningless. During Klopp era, the transfer spending and squad depth were nowhere near comparable to ManCity's. That's the fundamental reason behind winning one trophy versus three.

Any ambitious and intelligent person shouldn’t spend their career life serving under Edwards. What he wants is a puppet, not a marshal.
But now it is this so-called data dealer and Plan B master who controls everything. We don’t know whether his data is still valuable in light of the situation with Slot, nor what his Plan B is.

@AnfieldEdition @MiguelDelaney Ridiculous!

[FR @FizzRam]

@indykaila @John_W_Henry As I have always said, Slot is undoubtedly a fraud, but the crux of the matter lies with Edwards.

@FabrizioRomano So much talk. What’s his change? What’s his action? What a clown 🤡

After every new thing emerges, there will always be people who exploit information gaps to create and sell anxiety, and profit from it.
Maintain an objective and rational attitude, view issues through historical materialism and the laws of physics, and not be influenced by them.

There will be no AI jobpocalypse.

The story that AI will lead to massive unemployment is stoking unnecessary fear. AI — like any other technology — does affect jobs, but telling overblown stories of large-scale unemployment is irresponsible and damaging. Let’s put a stop to it.

I’ve expressed skepticism about the jobpocalypse in previous posts. I’m glad to see that the popular press is now pushing back on this narrative. The image below features some recent headlines.

Software engineering is the sector most affected by AI tools, as coding agents race ahead. Yet hiring of software engineers remains strong! So while there are examples of AI taking away jobs, the trends strongly suggest the net job creation is vastly greater than the job destruction — just like earlier waves of technology. Further, despite all the exciting progress in AI, the U.S. unemployment rate remains a healthy 4.3%.

Why is the AI jobpocalypse narrative so popular? For one thing, frontier AI labs have a strong incentive to tell stories that make AI technology sound more powerful. At their most extreme, they promote science-fiction scenarios of AI “taking over” and causing human extinction. If a technology can replace many employees, surely that technology must be very valuable!

Also, a lot of SaaS software companies charge around $100-$1000 per user/year. But if an AI company can replace an employee who makes $100,000 — or make them 50% more productive — then charging even $10,000 starts to look reasonable. By anchoring not to typical SaaS prices but to salaries of employees, AI companies can charge a lot more.

Additionally, businesses have a strong incentive to talk about layoffs as if they were caused by AI. After all, talking about how they’re using AI to be far more productive with fewer staff makes them look smart. This is a better message than admitting they overhired during the pandemic when capital was abundant due to low interest rates and a massive government financial stimulus.

To be clear, I recognize that AI is causing a lot of people’s work to change. This is hard. This is stressful. (And to some, it can be fun.) I empathize with everyone affected. At the same time, this is very different from predicting a collapse of the job market.

Societies are capable of telling themselves stories for years that have little basis in reality and lead to poor society-wide decision making. For example, fears over nuclear plant safety led to under-investment in nuclear power. Fears of the “population bomb” in the 1960s led countries to implement harsh policies to reduce their populations. And worries about dietary fat led governments to promote unhealthy high-sugar diets for decades.

Now that mainstream media is openly skeptical about the jobpocalypse, I hope these stories will start to lose their teeth (much like fears of AI-driven human extinction have).

Contrary to the predictions of an AI jobpocalypse, I predict the opposite: There will be an AI jobapalooza! AI will lead to a lot more good AI engineering jobs, and I’m also optimistic about the future of the overall job market. What AI engineers do will be different from traditional software engineering, and many of these jobs will be in businesses other than traditional large employers of developers. In non-AI roles, too, the skills needed will change because of AI. That makes this a good time to encourage more people to become proficient in AI, and make sure they’re ready for the different but plentiful jobs of the future!

@ready_co low cost, and most of it is spent on advertising, not building

@SkySportsNews This idiot made me stop watching matches for more than half a year. If there’s another season like this, maybe I’ll stop following football altogether. Damn.

[FR @FizzRam]

@_FORAB wtf……

[FR @FizzRam]

@ready_co I think that instead of making users wait, it would be better to educate them and explain the real issues.
I only just learned the differences after asking Claude. So I won’t ask “when”, I’ll just let it happen naturally. Keep it up!
