Why Bill Gates Thinks A.I. Will Take Away Jobs

WAIT WAIT LET ME EXPLAIN IT PROPERLY BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS WE ARE ALL SUPPOSEDLY GOING TO HAVE WAY FEWER JOBS TO CHOOSE FROM AND NO DO NOT LOOK AT ME LIKE I AM CRAZY BECAUSE IT ALL STARTED ON THE EZRA KLEIN SHOW WHERE BILL GATES HIMSELF WAS TALKING AND THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTS THAT THE TECHNOLOGIST AND PHILANTHROPIST IS STRAIGHT UP ARGUING THAT A.I. WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE AVAILABILITY OF JOBS WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE EVERYONE KEEPS ASKING HOW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WILL AFFECT THE LABOR MARKET AND HIS ANSWER IS BASICALLY THAT THE WORK IS DRYING UP AND NOBODY IN THIS BAR IS EVEN LISTENING TO ME BUT BILL GATES SAID WHAT HE SAID AND THAT IS ALL WE ACTUALLY KNOW SO STOP ARGUING. ANYWAY I NEED A CIGARETTE AND I DO NOT SMOKE.

RIGHT I NEED THIRTY SECONDS OF YOUR LIFE BECAUSE DO NOT TELL ME IT IS GOING TO BE FINE, I AM LITERALLY TELLING YOU WHAT BILL GATES SAID ON THE EZRA KLEIN SHOW ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE TECHNOLOGIST AND PHILANTHROPIST IS STRAIGHT UP ARGUING THAT A.I. WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE AVAILABILITY OF JOBS, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE EVERYONE IS WONDERING HOW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WILL AFFECT THE LABOR MARKET AND HE IS COMING OUT AND SAYING THE WORK IS JUST SHRINKING, AND THE THING IS THE ARTICLE DOES NOT EVEN EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENS NEXT, IT JUST DROPS THAT FACT, WHICH MEANS WE ARE SITTING HERE SHOUTING OVER A BASSLINE ABOUT DISAPPEARING WORK. ANYWAY I WILL BE THINKING ABOUT THIS IN THE TAXI.
