“OpenAI chief executive #SamAltman downplayed the threat of #AI #killingJobs just days after #WiseTech informed the police of “threats of violence” against its #CEO, who is using the #technology to replace thousands of its #workers.”
“The #Jobs picture is likely to be very different than we thought,” Altman told Commonwealth Bank boss #MattComyn in a virtual appearance at an AI event in Sydney hosted by the bank. “I don’t think we’re going to have the kind of #JobsApocalypse that some of the companies in our space advocate, or talk about.”
Bull shit boi at it again.

Of course, this may also be reflect a shift in sectors, away from the hospitality sector (notoriously difficult to engineer productivity rises in) and towards others, such as infrastructure or construction that have seen rises in technology use.
Likewise, I'd also want to add that part of the reduction in low-wage, low-productivity work, may be a quasi-strike by those who do not what to be employed under the rubbish terms & conditions on offer from some employers....

Has the Labour Govt. revived productivity growth?
Its not showing up in ONS data, but according to HMRC figures there has been a rise in productivity;
this may be due to firms shedding the least productive workers (and replacing them with technology), which reflects the rise in labour costs driven by Govt. policy.
So, if that was an intended aim, then the Govt. needs to get a better grip on helping those workers & others develop new skills & practices.
