Shouldn't that be a net negative because of loss of knowledge and talent during ai-inspired layoffs?
Yeah. Then big corp could buy small corp.
Everydown turn there are layoffs and loss of talent. They alweys find something 'unique' to blame it on. Then things recover and they hire people who learn it again.
until 10 years have passed I refuse to call ai job loss anything other than the latest iteration of that pattern. Time will tell.
Well like much analysis of economic impact, that's hard to quantify, so we can just assume it's trivial.
nah that's a separate department and they deliberately keep that book as far away from the overall study as possible.
