His own.

Marc Andreessen is predicting that at least one job is safe from the rise of AI: his own.

Marc Andreessen says that VCs may escape the rising tide of AI automation. On a recent podcast, he said the relationship-driven art of venture capital may make it one of the last remaining fields that people are still doing when other jobs are automated.

The scumbag known as Marc Andreessen is a right-wing accelerationist. He and his cronies, including Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, want to destabilize and eventually destroy nation-states so that everyone lives in corporatocratic city-states. These are the people who think late stage capitalism is a step in the right direction.
- Thank you. He gets more normalized any time someone talks about this asshole and doesn’t mention his extremist and wildly unpopular views. He is a terrible person, and not enough people know why.
  This article does a pretty solid job of explaining how horrible he is, though I’m sure there are better ones.
- Exactly. They want their version of The Network State
- Yep he looks at the world and sighs and thinks he could lead humanity into a shining future but for one thing: the legacy structures dragging it down. He really believes he has all the answers but we’re so bogged down by our establishments that we can’t follow him. He’d love to wipe the slate clean. I’d fucking love to be on a desert island with him and three other people trying to establish a colony. He’d be so goddamn useless.

Venture capitalism? Man that dude is getting high on his own bullshit.
Science won't be replaced by LLMs.
Trades won't be replaced.
Basically jobs that shouldn't exist will be replaced. Middle management, (hopefully) C-suite, possibly assembly and customer service.
- This sums it up:
  
  AI can't tell you what's true or not, so it can't tell you when you're wrong.
  
  it can't tell you when you're wrong.
  Which explains why narcissists seem so obsessed with it.
- AI and LLM are not synonymous terms.
  
  I call it LLM because true AI doesn't yet exist.

I read the headline and had one thought: let me guess, his job?
- Literally, from the article:

Well of course owners aren't going to replace themselves. They're the owners, not the lowly workers. It's like how owners exempt themselves from return to office mandates or how employees are fired if they find out you have another full time job yet owners "run" multiple businesses.
- They don't have to replace themselves. If LLMs can do the job (which is an open question) it will be outsiders who use LLMs to replace them.
  
  The outsiders are still VC owners. Andressen's company might be put out of business by another VC firm that uses LLM, but that happened all the time long before AI.

This clown doesn't even know his job is the easiest to automate without AI
- It already has been: https://www.theblock.co/post/323192/marc-andreesen-shoutouts-help-ai-powered-vc-fund-ai16z-to-nearly-100-million-market-cap
- I don't know, asshole is a job that requires a lot of creativity in screwing people over.
  
  This egghead (no he's not smart he literally has an egg shaped head that's why you only see his pictures framed a specific way) isn't even that creative

I find it much easier to imagine an AI VC than an AI plumber.
- It already exists. Quite literally there's an AI VC based largely on him: https://www.theblock.co/post/323192/marc-andreesen-shoutouts-help-ai-powered-vc-fund-ai16z-to-nearly-100-million-market-cap

My first thought was: let me guess, his own. Sure enough. This fucking asshole needs to go away. Every time he opens his mouth, shit comes out.

Challenge accepted.

The problem is not people like him. The problem are newspapers publishing it as though it was important and people giving a shit about it as though he wasn't a moron.

I knew he thought fat-headed VCs were more equal than the other animals.
So stupid.

Are jackasses really a safe job? I know ChatGPT has been really happy and friendly recently, but it can still be a really effective jackass.

How convenient.

Why would the robots doing all the other jobs listen to this delusional human ?

What do you think happens to all of us who can't work when this magical genAI appears? You think I'm gonna sit on my ass and accept your authority? You think the world is? This is destabilizing alright. But not the kind that will bring your network states to life. Its the kind that destroys all civilization and leaves us picking at your bones for scraps.
- They expect you to die of starvation, disease, and infighting. If you choose to lunge at them, they hope to have a network of automated weapons to drop the god particle on your peasant ass.
  Once they no longer need your labor, you are an externality to them. A cost to be cut.
  
  Yeah its gonna be a good long while before rods of god can be wasted on singular scrubs. They got the robot dogs with guns though. Still. Fighting a war against peasants is hard when they realize its going on. We're far too many to deal with. Its why they spend trillions dividing the working class.
