Adam Taggart expresses concerns about job displacement due to AI, noting that AI makes it easy to envision needing fewer humans because they are expensive and problematic. He cites economist John Maynard Keynes' concept of technological displacement, emphasizing the need to manage the pace of human labor replacement to avoid societal crises.
“The big issue I have right now is AI makes it really easy to envision why I need less humans working for my company.”
“Humans are expensive and they're problematic.”
“If you displace human labor so fast that you you can't repurpose it to another constructive use, you end up creating a societal crisis.”
