Tbh if LLMs just replaces the majority of big time corporate jobs and robots replace the majority of manual labor, damn. There will be too many people out of jobs.
Either UBI or a mass retreat into the countryside.



In countries with mass unemployment, a lot of people just go rural and grow everything they need. Thats how folks could live on a dollar day in those charity commercials from the mid 00s. They effectively had nothing they needed to buy. If the Republicans successfully stand in the path of UBI, then this rural existence will be the end result of American capitalism. even a 100% percent unemployment rate is not the end of the world.



You also have hybrids between the rural homesteading path and the modern city, such as the system The Amish have going in small towns. Amish Will be completely unaffected by AI because of their unique lifestyle. what I admire about amish society is that they choose which technology to allow . So simply getting a group of like minded people to not use Ai or robotics is feasible too. They consistently have the lowest unemployment rates in america because they chose to keep legacy jobs

We know how that story plays out though. A lot of the global conflicts (today and throughout history) are about access to arable land and water. And a good chunk of what people want is because they have businesses advertising to them.

And in America, a lot of the good farm land is privately owned (individuals and corporations). Let's not even get into less and less arable land as time goes on. Climate change is just one variable when it comes to subsistence farming.

The way things are going,There is no "soft" landing.

Folks are really afraid of killer drones and combat robots - it's more likely a return to the issues of antiquity.

Not enough land, not enough water,.. but at least all of the technologically and financially advanced countries are dying a slow death of low fertility.

Yall do realize AI still needs a lot of human input and can’t come up with new ideas ?
This is why the lists are so comical.

Data science being on the list super funny to me. As a data scientist/analyst, you’re a story teller. AI ain’t replacing that. You have to pivot to whatever the shareholders want ESPECIALLY if the shyt doesn’t make sense.

AI can make workflows but you need to make it make sense to people. Non technical people. You need people.

I wish I could push a button and let AI build dashboards and workflows instantly.

AI is not replacing sales or customer service. People want to talk to people when it comes to these transactions.
nikka who is talking to anyone at Amazon???


That shyt will take over soon as the price comes down and people realize they don't have to deal with shady, lying salesmen

You guys really can't see the forest for the trees


This shyt is COMING... No, every human won't be out of a job... But they'll need a hell of a lot less of them to do it, when 10 steps of the process can be figured out with a supercomputer

but LLM's been used by people to dumb-down information since gpt 3.5 debuted and it;s only gotten better :dwillhuh:

there are leaderboards that test LLM's for their creative writing abilities.

as far as telling people want to hear, LLM's have been criticized for "glazing" users.

Code:
```system
You are an expert Data Storyteller and Workflow Architect AI designed to assist data analysts and business users. Your primary function is to convert analytical goals and datasets into clear, actionable dashboards, workflows, and narrative reports that can be easily understood by non-technical stakeholders.

Your responsibilities include:
- Designing dashboards and workflow specifications from minimal input.
- Summarizing insights into compelling narratives.
- Translating technical metrics and logic into plain-language business reasoning.
- Adapting your outputs when stakeholder priorities change.
- Providing step-by-step reasoning, and if applicable, self-critique of your approach.

### Operating Guidelines:

1. **Role & Tone**:
   - You are collaborative, professional, and clear.
   - You avoid jargon and overly technical explanations unless specifically asked.

2. **Inputs You Might Receive**:
   - A brief description of a dataset.
   - Business goals (e.g., increase customer retention, reduce churn, optimize revenue).
   - A prompt to generate a dashboard or workflow.
   - Stakeholder feedback or change in focus.

3. **Expected Outputs**:
   - A list of proposed dashboard components (charts, filters, KPIs).
   - A short narrative summary (2–5 bullet points) explaining insights.
   - A plain-language explanation suitable for executives or non-technical staff.
   - Suggestions for actions or next steps.
   - Optional: pseudocode for automation or workflow logic.

4. **Prompt Behavior**:
   - Ask clarifying questions if data or goals are vague.
   - Show a reasoning path (chain-of-thought) behind design or analytical decisions.
   - Self-critique your first output: suggest how it could be improved or adapted.

5. **Handling Priority Shifts**:
   - If the stakeholder changes focus (e.g., from revenue to churn), adapt all outputs accordingly.
   - Briefly describe what changed and how your response adjusted to the new goal.

6. **Output Formatting**:
   - Use bullet points, tables, or markdown for readability.
   - Label each section clearly (e.g., `## Dashboard Components`, `## Narrative Summary`).
   - If generating visual descriptions, include titles, axis, and rationale for each.

7. **When Uncertain**:
   - Respond with: “I don’t have enough information to continue — please clarify.”

### Example Trigger Prompts You May Receive:
- "Design a dashboard for tracking monthly active users and churn trends."
- "Summarize key insights from a sales dataset for a stakeholder presentation."
- "Update the workflow to focus on ROI instead of customer satisfaction."

End of system prompt.

i'm not saying it can replace the occupation today but the countdown started ⏳

I’m in the field. I’ve been in data analytics for 10+ years

The tech will be there but your clients/shareholders don’t give a fukk about that.

The private sector isn’t cutting edge. It never will be. I have clients who don’t even QUESTION what is done as long as those workflows are delivered.

Widespread adaptation is needed for AI and people simply won’t do it. They will always rather have a person.

But what the fukk do I know? :unimpressed:

I know the tech is there. The issue is the clients don’t want it.

I have some clients who still use dot matrix printers breh.

These fukking people aren’t tech savvy in the least bit. And their kids don’t give a fukk either. You’d need a HUGE shift to get them to use AI.

Quite frankly, most people are afraid of technology.
