#OpenAI is developing #AIagents, like #ChatGPTWork, to #automatetasks for #whitecollar workers beyond #softwareengineering. While these agents offer potential for increased #productivity, challenges remain in making them intuitive for non-technical users and integrating them seamlessly into existing workflows. OpenAI is focussing on improving discoverability and user experience to drive wider adoption. https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/24/openai-is-building-an-ai-agent-for-everything-will-everyone-use-them/?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

“If #AI displaces human workers faster than the #economy can reabsorb them, it risks eroding the very #consumer demand firms depend on. We show that knowing this is not enough for firms to stop it.”
The dominating strategy of economics. Paper explained in this #BBC presenter #KattyKay <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3gYyCB2n9o>.

“Could Ryan Hendler be Australia’s most productive #employee? Each night Hendler and his colleagues at me&u, the QR code-based #hospitality ordering #app, assign their #AITools up to 30 complex, iterative #coding tasks, ranging from new features to #bug fixes.
Because these tasks take hours to compute, Hendler, a 26-year-old #AIEngineer, realised it was far more productive to let AI continue his workday while he slept, rather than waiting around for execution during the day.
Working under the chief executive #KimTeo, Hendler has helped catapult me&u into the #AIEra, fully integrating #Claude, #ChatGPT and bespoke AI products into a 24/7 workflow.
And at one point earlier this year, he was ChatGPT Codex’s 12th most prolific individual user worldwide by #token usage, and was spotlighted by ChatGPT owner OpenAI on LinkedIn for his 24-hour work hack.
But the AI wasn’t always up for the night shift. Hendler says the team originally had to explicitly instruct it to keep working through the night with prompts such as “please do not stop until you’ve done all the tasks” or “my boss will be angry if you stop before it finishes”.”
I’ll re-read this in 5 years and laugh. The founder is smart, but not technical. The engineer is responsible for more of the codebase than they can handle and is a cost centre. The market is exposed to consumer spending and discretional spending. 🤣☺️

Choices are sacrifices. And, inevitably, that means giving up something that you want, for something you want more.

and so does every scene Matthew Keller is in
He is kinda like a "Moriaty". You can't help but have tremendous respect for him.

…The answer to why powerful people in some other parts of the world face consequences, while in the #US they rarely do, is that #elite #impunity is now an American national project. We might need to reframe “American exceptionalism.” Instead of a New Deal, we have a Great Society for #WhiteCollar #crime, a New Frontier of executive lawbreaking, a No Rich Crook Left Behind. Most of us probably don’t even realize it.

Wow... that's depressing!
And I have been reading a lot about white-collar workers finding it challenging to:
1) Obtain work because of a tough job market
2) Maintain work due to layoffs, etc.

The Global Intelligence Crisis, a scenario set in 2028, explores the consequences of rapid #AI advancement: By 2026, AI’s impact on the #workforce, particularly #whitecollar jobs, led to a negative feedback loop of #jobdisplacement, reduced #consumerspending, and #economicinstability. This crisis resulted in widespread #economicdisruption and adeflationaryspiral. https://www.citriniresearch.com/p/2028gic?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Recession red flags are flying all over the place if you know where to look.
Latest jobs numbers show that with the exception of the Health Care field (which added 82,000 jobs) the data is showing job contraction.
New listings for roles in professional and business services have fallen to their lowest level in more than a decade (excluding the deepest pandemic-era lows of 2020) the steepest declines of any sector. https://qz.com/white-collar-jobs-recession-signs-data #Recession #Jobs #JobsData #Hiring #WhiteCollar #Economy #WageGrowth

On Artificial Intelligence 24:46- 31:50— a snippet @ 30:49:
“We’ve gotten into this mode, I’d say on both the right and left, where we’ve become subservient to technology. Instead of technology serving us, we’ve become slaves to the #technology. And I think that’s going to happen with #AI if we’re not very careful….We’ve started an AI policy lab in Utah, it’s the #first of its kind anywhere in the world, where we have experts now, in the government, working directly with the companies, to make sure their products are safe, passing legislation that gives them a safe harbor so that they can do what they wanna do, as long as it protects our #people.”

AI đang thay đổi công việc văn phòng: tự động hoá báo cáo, nhập liệu và phân tích dữ liệu khiến nhiều vị trí trung cấp giảm sút, trong khi nhu cầu giám sát AI, sáng tạo và tư duy chiến lược tăng. Các nhà quản lý cần nhanh chóng đào tạo lại nhân viên, tái thiết kế vai trò để tránh sa thải. #AI #CôngNghệ #ViệcLàm #Reskilling #Layoffs #WhiteCollar #Jobs #Tech
