That ceo is saying his product will become irrelevant? Odd behaviour for a profit making activity. And the ai’s won’t buy anything which will kill the consumer economy without something like ubi.


Sorry, but I call bullshit.

The day someone gets hired for jobs that are for MBAs without an MBA, or for consulting jobs at big consultancies without prestige or college-degree schooling, I’ll believe any of this tripe.

No one is hiring engineering majors as technical program managers without an MBA or business experience, or GED-only people as life sciences CEOs. No is putting electricians on the assembly line for making quantum computing chips, or hell even the CMOS processes we make now.

Very little venture capitalist funding goes to anyone who didn’t get prestige schooling, so people need to cut the bullshit and tell the truth. You’re ruining young people’s lives.

If it’s not bullshit, then prove it with hiring and funding practices.
