Amazon CEO Andy Jassy announces that its corporate workforce will reduce as the company implements more AI:

“Today, we have over 1,000 generative AI services and applications in progress or built.”

No surprise here. They want to boost profits by jacking up prices and canning people.

AI is clearly reshaping the future of work. Amazon streamlining its workforce shows how fast the shift is happening. 1,000+ AI initiatives is no small move.

none of us were ever worried about “illegal immigrants” (disgusting they are even called that) stealing jobs. AI is the real culprit of stealing jobs!

@moneylabshq
"We’re building 1,000 AI tools” is wild corporate-speak for “your job just got replaced by an algorithm in beta.”

It's over.

This is Dyna, and it's coming for your job.

Dyna runs 24/7, folding, fixing, hustling through the dirty work without flinching.

This isn’t just automation—it’s a new industrial era...

Introducing Dynamism v1 (DYNA-1) by /DynaRobotics & /JasonMa2020

Affordable, Easy-to-Deploy Autonomous AI Robots.

DYNA-1 is battle-tested to upscale-restaurant standards.

In a 24-hour run, it folded 850+ napkins autonomously, sustaining ~60% of human speed while holding a 99.4% success rate—zero interventions, full shift reliability.

@AngryTomtweets
Most robots fail at basic manipulation. DYNA-1 doesn’t. This isn’t about napkins. It’s about autonomy at scale.

- Pulls one napkin from a stack
- Adapts to out-of-distribution edge cases
- Transfers skills to laundry folding, cup filling & more

I’m ready for Dyna. That’s all I’ve wanted out of AI and robotics - for it to do my laundry. I’ll risk combat with it when it goes rogue. The cost/benefit analyses says “go”.

Vinod Khosla says most modern work is a form of servitude. AI will end this and give us time for care, mastery, and meaning. “I'd be shocked if it didn't happen by 2060, where we live in a world of abundance.”

He calls it survival. Economic necessity dressed as labor.

It requires that insufficient amounts of machine work (output capacity) is distributed to everyone.

That pretty much means either:
1. Forced redistribution (taxation)
2.Reyling on optional charity (from private owners of capital in the form of machine work capacity)
3.Pooling resources for the purpose of providing for everyone without relying on 1 or 2.

📉 Microsoft saved $500M in call-center costs by letting AI handle much of the conversation.

Generative models, software that writes text, now transcribe calls, suggest replies, and close tickets, cutting handle time to seconds.

Shareholders applaud the savings

AI could create a 'Mad Max' scenario where everyone's skills are basically worthless, a top economist says​


By Thibault Spirlet

An employee operates robotic equipment at the factory of Jiangxi Lanke Semiconductor Co., Ltd, in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province of China, on July 2, 2025.


As AI reshapes the labor market, the real threat isn't job loss — it's the collapse in what skills are worth, says MIT economist David Autor. Wei Dongsheng/VCG via Getty Images

Jul 3, 2025, 8:21 AM ET

  • Tech leaders and some economists have warned that AI could trigger mass unemployment.
  • Economist David Autor believes AI won't kill jobs and could instead create a "Mad Max" scenario.
  • It could make your skills less valuable and your paycheck smaller, the MIT professor said.

As AI reshapes the labor market, the real threat may not be unemployment — it could be something subtler and more corrosive: the collapse in what skills are worth.

That's according to MIT economist David Autor, who made the comments in an interview released Wednesday on the "Possible" podcast, hosted by LinkedIn cofounder Reed Hoffman.

Autor warned that rapid automation could usher in what he calls a "Mad Max" scenario — a world where jobs still exist, but the skills that once generated wages become cheap and commoditized.

"The more likely scenario to me looks much more like Mad Max: Fury Road, where everybody is competing over a few remaining resources that aren't controlled by some warlord somewhere," he said.

The reference, drawn from the dystopian film series set in a post-collapse world of scarcity and inequality, captures Autor's fear that AI could concentrate wealth and power at the top while leaving most workers to fight over what's left.

While several economists and some tech CEOs worry AI could displace millions of workers, Autor argued that the damage may play out differently, through the devaluation of once-valuable skills.

"The threat that rapid automation poses — to the degree it poses as a threat — is not running out of work, but making the valuable skills that people have highly abundant so they're no longer valuable," he said.

He pointed to roles like touch typists, factory technicians, and even taxi drivers as examples — all skilled, well-paying jobs that technology has downgraded or, in some cases, replaced.

"It used to be that touch typing was a very valuable skill. Not so much anymore," he said.

This doesn't mean people will be unemployed, he added. Instead, many are likely to shift into lower-paid service jobs — in food service, cleaning, security — that require little training and offer minimal pay.

"Automation can either increase the expertise of your work by eliminating the supporting tasks and allowing you to focus on what you're really good at," he said.

"Or, it can descale your work by automating the expert parts and just leaving you with a sort of last mile."

Autor's concern is increasingly reflected in the corporate world.

A May Salesforce study projected that 23% of workers will be redeployed over the next two years as AI adoption surges, and even employees who stay in their current roles will see them evolve.

Tech executives, meanwhile, are placing a growing premium on adaptability, creativity, and the ability to work with AI tools, not just technical specialization.

To avoid a future where technology widens inequality, Autor said we must intentionally design AI to support workers.

"As my friend Josh Cohen, a philosopher, likes to say, 'The future is not a forecasting exercise — it's a design exercise, you're building it.'"

"And so, breaking our way is not just a matter of luck. It's a matter of making good collective choices, and that's extremely hard to do."

For Autor, the best place to start is by focusing AI where it can do the most good: expanding access to healthcare, education, and meaningful work.

"Healthcare and education — two activities that in the United States has 20% GDP, a lot of it public money, actually — this is where there's such a great opportunity where AI could be a tool that could be so helpful to us in a way that other tools have not been."

"Many of these things are feasible," he continued. "If we think we're not going to do them, it's not because we couldn't do them. It's because we're somehow not delivering on what is feasible."
