Anarcho-Communist. Habitually pissed off by almost anything AI. And pretty much everything else. Grumpy as hell and suspiciously friendly. Violent.
I did that ten years ago. Not here yet are the people who have done it 30 , 40… and so on ago. It’s a long running tradition. Rich kids have always cheated and then run stuff.

COULD be interesting for planning , which is what it’s meant for after all. But seeing at what places they decided to NOT GO into specifics makes me also think it’s really an AI Booster study with window dressing. Which would make sense looking at the authors.

I do, but I still really appreciate the reference and seeing that this has obviously been a topic for some time. I mean, it really does make sense and it also makes sense to have a look at this specifically. To some extent I would even say that the Iceberg model if applied correctly

Thanks for the reference. "A novel methodology." (i.e. "We ask people: u use computa?")

indeed included. Since their skillset is derived from the O*net occupational profiles this would certainly include C-Suite. See for example here: www.onetonline.org/link/summary...

The skillset isn't listed anywhere, I've tried to find it. Also no list of the AI tools that they count. However, seeing how financials and administration are explicitly underscored a couple of times and management of workflows is something that they point out, I would assume that management is

That doesn't seem to be accurate. They have mapped the entire workforce, that would imply that the C-Suite _is_ mapped as well.

Damn. I knew that tool but it didn't occur to me that this is of course the implication. Thanks for that.

Thank you. :D I'd love to take credit for the line, however, it's from this bit here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-4i...

I thought @edzitron.com would probably see it anyway since it's as a reply to his post, but thanks for the additional encouragement. :) Glad you liked it. Always good to hear.

I... can't believe that that's the example. But sure. It does make sense to take that.

I've written a short comment regarding this new MIT study that is being passed around and why it is horseshit. "11.7% of US workforce is being replaced by AI" my ass. Thought that might be of interest. Also - thanks for all your work, you are one of the best resources out there.

Why the new MIT Study speaking of 11.7% automation is horseshit and why the way it's being reported is even worse

c) Anthropic lied as a cherry on top.
To be clear, as of now we know NONE of these things. (Or at least I don't.)
But I would be highly surprised if not at least 2 of the three turn out to be true, still surprised if it isn't all three.
