AI is changing how work gets done, but not eliminating entire roles. At IBM, “a couple hundred” HR workers were replaced by AI agents, CEO Arvind Krishna told The Wall Street Journal in May.

While we have done a huge amount of work inside IBM on leveraging AI and automationon certain enterprise workflows, our total employment has actually gone up, because what it does is it gives you more investment to put into other areas,” Krishna said.

The company used AI savings to hire more programmers and salespeople.

the person above is also assuming 0-100% charge every day. most people won’t go through a whole battery charge every day, at least for the first couple years.

oh look a whole other new reason to avoid sports.

can i send an AI bot to all my Teams meetings? THAT would actually increase my productivity.

did we read the same article? the author was overtly critical of trump and never mentioned democrats. what specifically makes you think the author doesn’t have good intentions? quite a leap.
