"This technology is already 2 years old, I don't see any societal changes yet, it must be much ado about nothing" must be one of the most superficial takes about technology I've ever read. Really, come on.
Just two things to consider:
1- it takes people and societies a long time to integrate and react to the possibilities offered by new technologies. A time easily measured in years, sometimes in decades.
2- the technology is rapidly evolving- faster than society is actually able to absorb it. Two years are really nothing. A child who was born the day GPT 2 was released has just started primary school, and will enter the job market between 15 and 20 years from today.
She is disgusting. What a revolting and tone deaf thing to say, while stealing people's art to train your AI models. Unreal.

First link is Cisco laying 4K to focus on AI. Not jobs replaced by AI. Second link is MSFT laying off 1500 doesn't say they were replaced by AI. Third link, read the comments, it's a reorg. Normal at big companies. Fourth link is a startup ceo who is replacing 2 interns...

>Fourth link is a startup ceo who is replacing 2 interns...
The question was whether there was job loss to AI.
From the links on page 1-4 looks like companies are laying people off to invest in AI infra. That’s different than getting replaced by it. I just can’t think of a workflow that can be automated by “AI”
