Either this study is true, and AI will be incredibly socially destabilizing in near to medium term, or it is false, and we are going to have a massive bubble that will be socially destabilizing. https://www.cnbc.com/...

Your daily reminder that we need to discuss the labor market situation! MIT's new “Iceberg Index” suggests today's AI could already cover work equivalent to 11.7% of the entire U.S. wage bill - far beyond the visible tip of AI adoption in tech. I nstead of just counting [image]

This stat is probably true but mostly irrelevant. After three years of tech layoffs, it's obvious most companies could cut 10% without AI and keep humming. — I've seen LLM-driven automation drive job cuts, but automation is hard work which many won't do. Instead we'll see AI …

An MIT study also found that 95% of AI companies have negative utility. — I think it's at least fair that the combined paints the full picture; — “AI is being shoved down your throat so hard that we will FIND A WAY to replace AT LEAST 12% of you. We don't care whether the pr…

Given how they processed this data these numbers actually seem incredibly bad for AI relative to what investment requirements are and how most of the bigger LLM groups are already saying we're starting to plateau because of bottlenecks. — www.cnbc.com/2025/11/26/m... [embedded…

The index treats the 151 million workers as individual agents, each tagged with skills, tasks, occupation and location. It maps more than 32,000 skills across 923 occupations in 3,000 counties, then measures where current AI systems can already perform those skills. #AI — www…
