Hey Claude, rename all these jobs to include AI so that WSJ can write an article about AI creating new jobs.
Oh. I thought they were going to use AI to create an artificial Steve Jobs.
Never mind.
They missed the Iranians employed into bombing OpenAI's datacenter in Abu Dhabi, at least going by Iran's latest press release. [1] I think that should count as AI-related work.

I'm suddenly wondering if it's acceptable to post RT articles here too.
I'm actually going to tap the sign, here, whichever mod 2nd-chanced this (reposted) — this fluffpiece is a few fiscal quarters late for any attempt at moraleboost (read the room: Oracle's recent 30k axe; <http://www.layoffs.fyi>; obliteration of translation/transcription industries). We are tired, ridden, put away wet.

I have been saying this since first using GPT-2, years ago, then with only a few tokens at a time (mostly to responses of laughter):
genAI will soon make at least one of two things necessary (&/or):
1) the necessity for some minimal Universal Basic Income
2) the necessity for many young men to die in pointle$$ war$ of di$traction
History, rhyming...

Please don't resuscitate this tone-deaf WSB article for thrice.
Well, #2 is something that historically has regularly been required by the powers that be, so the addition of #1 as another option is actually an improvement.
I'm hopeful that if things get bad enough Option #1 becomes the preferred reality. Not holding my breath (for here in america)...
