ITT: Cast your FINAL vote on whether “AI” is fucking flame.
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 31st, 2026 9:27 PM Author: unhinged floppy international law enforcement agency And post your moniker for posterity. Let’s take as the measure whether “AI” leads to 6% unemployment among college grads by 2030 (it won’t count if that rate is the result of the bubble bursting and ensuing general economic downturn). Epah here. Yes it’s fucking flame. |

They cant even use it to make like credit card or airline sites better, its been years now and they cant do that. Like I dont understand how financial sites cannot use AI to monitor ur common practices so when u log in it gears the website to that and anticipate what u want, its just furking unbelievable. Its so basic but they cant even do that. And somehow their AI chatbots are total shit, I can get better answers asking ChatGPT than these furking company chatbots.

But they prob will still use it to cut employment in like back office functions and programming. So it may work for that until someone gets furked cutting too much and realizes they still need at least some ppl who arent in chennai |

Date: May 31st, 2026 11:21 PM Author: unhinged floppy international law enforcement agency Two quick guesses about your worldview: 1) You love Rogan, and 2) you don’t “trust experts,” because you know how to “do your own research”?
“ If by “college graduates” you mean people with a bachelor’s degree or higher, the most recent U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data show an unemployment rate of 2.8% in April 2026 for adults age 25 and older with at least a bachelor’s degree.” |
|
Date: May 31st, 2026 11:29 PM Author: diverse outnumbered volcanic crater jew If by "real" unemployment you mean the percentage of people who want a full-time job but cannot find one that pays a living wage, the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity (LISEP) tracks this as the True Rate of Unemployment (TRU). By this metric, the functional unemployment rate is much higher than official government data suggests: Bachelor's Degree Holders: 15.6% Advanced Degree Holders: 13.8% https://www.lisep.org/tru (April numbers) |

|
Date: June 1st, 2026 12:02 AM Author: unhinged floppy international law enforcement agency I didn’t read your link, but anyone who wants a job that pays at least $26k can get one — so long as he/she has the ability to consistently show up at an appointed time on specific days, not fight with customers or coworkers, and be sober during work hours. Saying that such things are unattainable is lib nonsense. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5870330&forum_id=2Vannesa#49909559) |

|
Date: June 1st, 2026 12:10 AM Author: unhinged floppy international law enforcement agency I don’t understand what you don’t understand about it. The lib thinktank youre citing seems to determine its “true unemployment” statistic by asking people if they want to have a good well-paying job, and count as “unemployed” everyone who says “yes” but doesn’t have such a job. This would include 100% of the homeless people in your city. That’s a pretty dumb way to measure “unemployment” IMO. |
|
Date: June 1st, 2026 12:11 AM Author: diverse outnumbered volcanic crater jew ...because you made a random-ass retarded assumption about how it was calculated and quadrupled down and dragged out this subthread wasteland instead of just clicking the link.
"True Rate of Unemployment tracks the percentage of the U.S. labor force that does not have a full-time job (35+ hours a week) but wants one, has no job, or does not earn a living wage, conservatively pegged at $26,000 (in 2025 dollars) annually before taxes." |
|
Date: June 1st, 2026 12:18 AM Author: unhinged floppy international law enforcement agency So it includes people like TT and RSF who neither have nor want a job, 100% of retired people, and the institutionalized. Not sure why you’d think that’s a superior metric for evaluating the impact of AI than the normal BLS statistic, but carry on. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5870330&forum_id=2Vannesa#49909585) |
|
Date: June 1st, 2026 12:25 AM Author: diverse outnumbered volcanic crater jew it absolutely does not count retired people, as they are not in the LABOR FORCE. pretty sure that also excludes RSFs but even if it doesn't, there aren't many of them. dunno where TT falls in. can't tell what you mean by "institutionalized" but pretty sure they aren't in the labor force either.

i mean going off "stats" for this kind of thing is just silly. i'm not even Mr. Social or anything but i talk to enough people in my family/professional/social circles to have an accurate enough grasp of present-day society to know that "6% unemployment for college grads" is just completely ludicrous and would get you laughed out of the room if you told that to somebody irl |
|
Date: June 1st, 2026 12:21 AM Author: unhinged floppy international law enforcement agency It’s a statistic that has been compiled by the same methodology for 50 years.

It's definitely powerful and has some uses. But, it's also egregiously bad in some ways. Like making things up or making fundamental, foundational errors. It also often fails to grasp the big picture and everything that flows from that. And it's hard to see a path to it doing tasks beyond rote ones, like which details to accept, which to reject, and which to rework in a counter offer.
Also, the AI company valuations are ludicrous in relation to actual or reasonably likely potential earnings. At $1T, Anthropic would be about the 15th highest market cap public company in the world. But there is no reason competitors can't and won't use Anthropic's blueprint to steal their customers, if they ever figure out how to make money in the first place. |

btw i understand that you're defining "flame" in a very specific way here but anyone still asking whether ai is flame more generally is just very divorced from the tech world and a lot of stuff in the corporate world. pharma, so many fields. it has changed a lot of stuff already. |

Date: June 1st, 2026 12:19 AM Author: Arousing twinkling church Not flame. I don't think we're getting AGI anytime soon. I don't think it changes the world in the way that going from no internet to all the things the internet has done changes things. But I think it will have a real impact on the economy. I think that it will make companies more efficient. I think it will, with humans as its guide, make people more productive. It will lower the cost of goods worldwide.
I think people think like oh it's a game changer, where is my flying car. That's like saying if you got darpanet in the 80s asking where's my Uber ride? Is it coming tomorrow? Next year? No. It will be a long slow on ramp. But suddenly the years will go by and stuff will crop up. And stuff will be better than people thought it was going to be.
I think of it like the internet for the internet. It's a tool that makes tools more tooly. It's not going to give you a blow job but in 20 years everything will change and be different and it will mostly be good. Humans will adapt. A lot of people will make a shitload of money. Even more people will still be poor.

For example, white collar work was already devalued by globalization so add GenAI stuff on top of that. The globalization still isn't going anywhere and if anything GenAI will keep a lot of prices super low because the guy in India is now desperate to keep the $10/hr instead of being replaced by Claude. Then add networked robots driven by GenAI that will kill a bunch of jobs that always required warm bodies (Amazon warehouse shit, construction jobs, etc.).
I predict that the world is going to get way more dystopian and desperate over the next few decades.

This is one of the arguments for UBI too: When freed from the need to work for sustenance, people will be free to make art and engage their communities. (For many of us, this means poasting, btw.) In reality, people will probably just scroll and watch Netflix and order deliver slop.

Date: June 2nd, 2026 1:53 PM Author: vivacious orchestra pit headpube who knows. in the ideal path it might boil down to something like reducing jobs to one of the Three True Outcomes: Engineering or Sales (private) or Bureaucrat (public). Everyone whines about the "decline of competency" but a major reason for this is some bro with a 135 IQ is going to go where the money is, and the money sure as hell isn't in being a bureaucrat responsible for snow plow deployment or public pool sanitation or whatever. In the past the pay gap was much narrower between public and private, and the resistance for moving across the country was larger, so there was much more regional competency.
in reality I'm not that optimistic for the public sector returning to its glory days (I think the best we're going to do is AI just straight up reduces the amount of people it requires), but I think the "you're either an Engineer or Salesman, Champ" restructuring in corporations is a pretty realistic path. you're already seeing it in companies using AI as an excuse to cut layers of nonsense managers. |

This is such a kikey condition that ensures you cannot lose. If AI does displace a lot of jobs the cascading effect of that would almost surely lead to a general economic downturn. AI is only "fucking flame" if it leads to massive job displacement but that doesn't count if that massive job displacement causes some general economic downturn, which is what would surely happen?
Under your kikey conditions the answer can only be "fucking flame". Ignoring that, the answer is easily "not flame." AI is like the early internet era. I think it'll be much more important than all the AI skeptics think and less important than the techno futurists think. But anyone who has used AI for just about anything knows it's not "fucking flame."

If the latter happens, the AI companies' stock might still do well in the face of a broader economic downturn.
Fun side fact: Lehman Bros.' peak market cap was $80B. Antrhopic's market cap today is $1T. |

Date: June 1st, 2026 11:14 AM Author: infuriating yellow giraffe halford Like every major economic event the cause and effects will be debatable. However, AI has already displaced many tech jobs and caused other companies to rethink how many new college grads they should hire. So even some major downturn started tomorrow because of something completely unpredictable like Covid 2.0 AI still have been a big contributor because it's already contributing to economic conditions.
I'm just saying that the economy is a Gordian Knot that's impossible to dissect. IF a downturn happens something will trigger the collapse, but the trigger isn't the collapse; the collapse is how the house of cards was built. |

Date: June 1st, 2026 1:32 PM Author: infuriating yellow giraffe halford I think you've missed my point. What I'm saying is that the conditions EPAH invented to be proven right or wrong here are retarded. The fact it's arguable that unemployment for recent college grads was over 6% the day this thread was poasted only highlights what an abortion of a thread this is.
I take no position on what the "real" unemployment rate is. As discussed ad nauseum ITT it's a hard number to pin down. However, like Goy Superstar I live in this world and have anecdotally heard many grads complaining about not being able to find a job, so that number wouldn't surprise me and if I had to guess I'd bet it's accurate.
edit: Oh I misunderstood you, I see now you're proposing an alternative condition.
No, I don't think any unemployment condition is worthwhile. First of all, if society worked properly, AI being legit and obviated a ton of labor we'd wind up in the 20 hr work week Kenyes predicted. If AI is *SUPER* not flame something like this would have to happen or we'd have masses of people that can't provide for themselves. Second, idk how anyone who lived through ITE and LOLSCHOOLS boosting employment numbers by hiring them to work in the library for a semester still has much faith in them.
It would be like saying mechanized farming was "fucking flame" because farmer unemployment isn't skyrocketing. If AI is legit and jobs it can do are obviated those people will have to do something else or some sort of welfare system will have to be created. |

Interesting statement. The world's smartest businessperson predicts that AI implementation will result in double-digit GDP growth by June 2027: https://www.moomoo.com/news/post/63284418/musk-predicts-double-digit-growth-for-the-us-economy-within?level=1&data_ticket=1780373000121424

The UE rate below (UE for college grads 25 and over) touched 5.9% after the '08-09 recession and spiked during covid but has generally been very low. It's 2.8% now.

Date: June 2nd, 2026 4:41 PM Author: Bateful crusty selfie In-housemo here. It has been invaluable. We're down headcount (like a lot of huge companies) and are cutting outside counsel spend too and AI has basically filled the gap. Stupid time-consuming exercises like "hey, we have a bunch of contracts - we need to know if we can assign them as part of the deal or if we need to terminate them what are the relevant provisions if we go that route" gets reduced massively by AI. Something like "here's our exhibit on whatever, they want to use theirs, how are they different" - you can get an answer basically instantly instead of spending a bunch of time doing a line-by-line side by side. It has removed the dread of a "what does this contract say about x" and then seeing a 300-page contract and like 10 amendments.

Comparable to the microwave. Most people only use it to reheat leftovers or make popcorn, but it's capable of a lot more.
It's a game changer in healthcare from correcting deafness to helping people walk again and I don't doubt it's just the tip of the iceberg. Future generations are going to be screened by AI from birth, which will help you plan your health and fitness to a fine science.
It's also going to majorly transform our defense industries and how we wage wars and stealth diplomacy.
Every industry is incorporating AI in multiple forms and capacity. Some will deliver more benefits. Some is just to keep competitive with no real net gains. But overall there will be greater efficiency and productivity, which will generate further opportunities.
AI will also (I hope) tone down the bitter cultural divides when people ask AI questions on history and culture and current events. The safetyism in AI has been criticized but so far it's been evenhanded, nudging both extremes towards a more moderate middle, that, frankly, has impressed me with its pragmatism.
On a personal level, using AI makes me smarter. I talk to AI all time time, asking questions about everything from little DIY to historical debates to managing people at work and how to handle family matters. But it is contingent on understanding how to use AI. Gut instinct tells me AI will make the top 10% wealthier and introduce a sharper divide between the top 10% and the next cohort. It will be neutral for the 20-40% bracket, and will make the bottom 60% fall further behind. If you want to stay in the top 10%, you need to figure out how to make AI relevant in your life. |

Date: June 1st, 2026 3:12 PM Author: offensive cerebral goal in life philosopher-king Not flame but I don’t even know how to interpret your 6% unemployment number. Jim_Kelly tp
I think it’s just another tech advancement, like desktop, internet, notebook computers, email, mobile. It will fundamentally change things particularly in white collar world. My firm (V50) is already hiring less. I’m personally using junior associates way fucking less because AI does the same work faster and for free.
But we’re not all moving to UBI or whatever technonerds think. AI absolutely needs someone trained and with judgment to interpret and filter what it spits out.
EPAH’s and others’ flame responses are likely from dealing with clients, etc. sending AI slop or small personal dalliances in it. Garbage in, garbage out. With careful prompting, it gives you at least junior/mid-level associate work product in minutes, which is amazing. Stupid to think that it won’t get better because it has, remarkably, in just a few years. |

Date: June 1st, 2026 8:16 PM Author: Fuchsia Razzmatazz Cuckoldry I don't think UBI has to arrive in the technonerd sense people imagine. The reality will be much more boring and also will come much more quickly than people imagine. The standard narrative which goes something like AGI arrives, humans become economically obsolete, then UBI appears is obviously a fantasy. What will likely happen is automation gradually reduces demand for certain cognitive labor, employers become increasingly selective, people who are already near the edge of labor market viability get pushed out first. Then at that point the existing disability and welfare systems continually absorb shock and become overloaded because many displaced people are not actually "disabled" or in need of whatever other social welfare systems exist, so a new category emerges. It will probably first be called something like "workforce transition income" or "automation adjustment benefits" or some other politically acceptable term for it.

It's basically a distilled Google search [or any other database], and that can be useful sometimes. But that doesn't make it "intelligent" on its own--it still needs humans to advance/create the knowledge it depends on. And the output it currently spits out can barely contextualize anything.
Unfortunately, while it's flame, it will empower billions of clueless people to "feel" and "act" more intelligent than they really are, and that includes corporate CEOs. |
