AI will take your job | Mark Cuban 

I keep saying this in the office. Everyone is in the “don’t look up”phase right now.

Im 28 and AI already took my first job. I was a bond trader for 5 years and tech eliminated like 85% of the job. A bond desk of 5 in 2018 with Chicago or NY salaries can now be operated by 1 person living in Ohio who also receives less 401k matching and equity bonuses then before. Now Im in FX and derivitives and took a paycut cause I think thatll be the one of the last portions of finance to get taken over. Just delaying the inevitable a few years lol. Its a survival game now. Marks right though get that money inside the most secure stocks possible now so the AI works partially for you.

I'm a janitor and there's already robots that clean bathrooms and stuff. My job is just too cheap to invest in it though. Lol

AI generated basketball league will have this guy sweating too

I hope it frees people to truly do what they enjoy, without worrying about working to live.

The real answer is he doesn't know and nobody knows, just be flexible, open-minded and positive.

This what Andrew yang has been saying for a long time. Capitalism needs Reformation, there should be a Data VAT where companies using peoples data should be charged and that money should be used to fund a UBI.

As someone who works in software. AI in its current state is not replacing us. Its is making us more productive by finding answering a bit faster than searching via stackoverflow threads. It only knows information thats out there. It is not generating anything new. It also cannot build an entire software application. It requires a lot of understanding across multiple systems before you can get an app to someones phone. Edit: LOL @ the comments about Devin and AI advancements.. Looks guys, AI will get better and better. There is no denying that but it will be a gradual change before it replaces an engineer, dev, or whatever the hell you want to be. Just like when 3D printing was released, and Testlas self driving claims of 100% autonomous, its all over hyped. You dont see houses being built by machines in 1 week and you dont see a empty car delivering your amazon packages. There are way too many variables in software especially creating ***NEW*** products. Anyone who has ever worked in the real world will know that new problems come up every day.

Yep. This is the last breaths of the Capitalist economic system.

I actually likes his personalities. I think he pretty laid back for a billionaire and relatable to a lot out there .

I’m using Claude 3 Opus and GPT 4 and still waiting for it to not suck

What a wonderful time to be a senior in high school… Good luck young folks!

If all jobs are gone, then who will all corporations be selling their goods and services to?

I like how the reporter was completely clueless to what Mark was saying. "So you are emphasising the importance of education?" He completely missed the point that AI will take away most desk jobs, that re-education is pointless cause there is no demand for anything higher education teaches now.

He is so giddy about this. You can hear it in his voice when he said “you’re gone”

I’m a gold miner. No AI is gonna come out to the river without internet or cell service and dig in the river and pan out the gold nuggets.

"the automation of automation" Yep that's going to change the labor force, unemployment, and the GDP all at the same time. I guess no one is rushing to be the first one to get to space anymore.

telling my kid to be an essential worker like nurse, electrician, plumber

we need unlimited workers in the healthcare industry......... like millions

Star Trek. Everyone lives on a ship and wears the same uniform.

I think this is kind of overblown, especially with regards to programmer jobs. Look, the reason why these models are especially good at code is that there's a gigantic volume of high quality code out in the open on which these models could have been trained. That isn't the fact for the tasks of your average office worker. If these models had nearly as much data for those tasks, then nobody would single out programmer jobs as being especially threatened by this technology. And also it's worth noting that even with this gigantic volume of high quality data no model comes even close to replacing programmers today. Given that pretty much all of the potential training data for code has already been exploited (unless all of the proprietary code is released out in the open, which well...) the upside for these kinds of models is limited.

i can install a robot arm inside my taco truck to flip the meat for me!

Wow. It’s crazy how intelligent Mark looks here compared to the interviewer. He is spot on.

Universal basic income seems like the proper way to handle this

in the process of buiying land and being off grid. Solar panels, garden, hunting, raising animals. Preserving food. Going to back to the 1800's with a few modern twists

Andrew Yang has been saying this for a long time! Now the idea of universal basic income can become a serious discussion when millionssssss of people do not have work.

I’m betting billionaire-boy here is right. The next ten or fifteen years is going to dwarf the past 30 years. And there was a helluva lot of change over the past 30 years.

If 5 million people have their jobs disrupted.....what are we going to do with them? Put them on Universal Basic Income equating to roughly the same level of support as welfare, then tell them they can earn additional income by becoming content creators on social media platforms, payable by subscribership/engagement metrics and by marketing services and products on behalf of commercial interests.

Bullish on liberal arts majors? I got a history degree and highly disagree. The quality of candidates graduating with these degrees is very low based on my experience with others in my classes. The curriculum just isn't rigorous at all. The business school at my college had a minimum GPA to apply to get, humanities take all the flunkies

I find it hard to believe there will be a lack of demand for software devs.. these will grow infinitely IMO from big data to systems integration to pure coding, security and testing code

This video is 7 years old. This should be in the description.

Why is it that the only perspective we're getting on this issue is from only the people that will benefit from it?

Sounds like folks from Industrial Revolution are back at it

“So, adult higher education is the answer?” “What are you gonna go back and do?” ……. …………. Checkmate Game over humans

Since I don't have a job, robots can't really take it from me. Today I saw a robot cleaner in a grocery store. And I live in a 3rd world country. So it is pretty much already here.

It begs the question sbould the work in AI be allowed to continue while these questions go unanswered?

If AI becomes advanced enough for me to say to it, "Create an application for me like Amazon, Netflix or Facebook with the entire project infrastructure, architecture, expandable and scalable, then deploy it in the cloud, maintain near-continuous availability, and develop it according to my constantly and fast changing requirements without introducing any bugs, then we won't need programmers or IT specialists anymore. However, at that point, we probably won't need anyone other than physical workers either.

I'm a makeup artist in film & TV and my job will be gone as soon as Sora is released. 💯 I've already begun writing my congressperson and senator asking about WTF they are going to do when this happens. I got one canned response from my senator saying AI is our friend and helper and I'm 100% sure it was AI generated. No response from the others. We are going to be seriously effed because the government moves at a snail's pace and this is happening at light speed. Buckle up. This is going to get crazy. 😳

In my opinion it’s a shallow point of view saying that “it’ll be all gone”. I don’t believe we’ll see this change in decades. But the problem is, near future AI will cause beginner/junior level devs losing their job or not being hired in the first place. Because as lead developer or senior developer, it comes to constantly teaching stuff to a junior dev and checking his work quality versus getting AI assistant generated code and checking its quality and debugging. On top of that, one hand there is a person, a human with salary, additional costs and occasional complaints, on the other an AI tool as low as $10-20 per month. I constatly use copilot and I must say most of its suggestions and generated codes are barely useful, maybe one or two lines is alright. But comparing it to a junior dev, well it might catch up pretty soon. But of course the hotshots don’t care about what’s gonna happen to society because they’re financially safe. Right or wrong people say “these professions will be history” but no one giving a viable alternative. Even this guy is talking about art and creativity would be safe but currently AI’s greatest impact is on those industries actually. Either this is just a hype or someone is cooking something terrible.

AI taking up jobs would be hypothetical but real too.

I think one job that will be in high demand in the coming decades is robot maintenance.

Lol why is programming always get singled out when it comes to job lost? If AI can execute perfect code and deploy it without any developers than It can also run a business without anyone. So all you have to do is tell it what you want and boom you’re rich.

Automation replaces labor. Not consumption. As long as human beings drive demand, they will not be replaceable in the economy. Only redefined within it.

As a programmer less than a decade away from retirement, I've long drawn the conclusion that if I were starting today, I'd be screwed. I don't know what to tell young kids today in terms of where to focus. There are very, VERY few jobs that can't be disrupted by AI. * pilot - 90% of a flight is already automated and the only reason why planes aren't 100% flown by computer is because pilot unions fought to make sure that didn't happen, for obvious reasons * doctor - computers already pick up things in MRI images that doctors miss. Robots already perform man surgeries. Heck, if you're a pharmacist, you're just dispensing drugs. That can so easily be replaced by a drug dispensing ATM machine * even jobs like teacher can be replaced. Imagine one teacher broadcasting a math lesson and students log in to watch it. Better still, the teacher records the lessons and students can replay them whenever they want. Better still, get AI to record the lesson, eliminating all teachers * truck drivers/taxis - it's only a matter of time As of now, the only jobs that can't be replaced (yet) are plumbers and electricians. You need a physical person there to do the work, so if there's any job I don't see being replaced anytime soon, it's those two jobs. But I'd tell anyway to save, save, SAVE your money, because the day will come that your only form of income will be the interest from your savings. It's too hard to figure out what skills you should learn to keep your head above water.

Universal Basic Income, real human freedom

Funny thing is, I work at a popular shipping company. They have this machine that could... potentially... replace two workers. Problem is, it works half as fast and cannot physically do all of the work. It can't handle bags or nonconveyables. It also costs a million dollars to install and i imagine thousands to maintain a year. My company is *squeezing* to get every last dime out of the budget. You think they gonna fork over mils for automating a single door? Or they gonna pay 300 dollars a week for some poor underpaid worker? No automation is not going to take everything over. Just bits and peices at a time.EDIT: My point is, eventually, automatings things becomes more expensive than the thing itself. After that, it is pointless. Automating was to make labor cheaper or faster or more productive. Sometimes, the human is the best choice for all three. Just saying. There's a plateau to automation in some areas. And at the point we make robots that have the intelligence and motor skills of humans, they will just erase us all anyway.

The only mistake he made was talking about Liberal Arts majors, because they are now the first to be replaced. Not surprising as "creativity" is the original combination of life experiences and inspirations, which is naturally best done by an objective machine that was trained on the internet.

Well as long as Mark Cubans wealth is secure, then I guess I can sleep soundly at night.

Well this interview took place 7 years ago so if nothing else, Cuban has wildly overstated the speed of all this change.

The problem is that demand will fall of a cliff if more people are unemployed that in turn affects all of the companies. It’s important to keep a balance between automation and labor. The scenario of handful companies controlling everything works only in theory and not in reality

My Career advice: Create a career and use AI as one of your tools for success instead of worrying about AI taking over your job! Take control of your own mind and life! BE a champion! Good luck.👍🏾

There are more jobs in 2024 than 1924. The same will be true 100 years from now. Technology creates jobs.

Thank Jesus. UBI will help humanity in an invaluable way.

If Ai becomes unemployed I will be shocked

AI will take your job

Imagine going to college for Computer Science just to nor get a job in the field

'Automation of Automation' - how will you debug when the automated automation delivers hallucinations?

Need basic income and a 20 or 15 or 10 hour work week. But these things must be coordinated by an international entity. You cannot coordinate it locally or nationally due to competitive concerns.

Sometimes I wonder how Mark became a billionaire. Maybe he’s playing a next level game or something but to suggest that liberal arts is going to overtake technical and engineering jobs is just baffling.

And this why I haven't quit my job because everything is gonna replace little by little

That's what I'm counting on Edit: finance and software engineering were his suggestions? This person does not know where the market is going. Mark is on point.

Dude, AI is already a better philosopher than most.

Modern monetary theory is one of the best ways to push forward the cause of ubi

AI is not taking your job. Humans are replacing humans with AI because it is cheaper, never misses a day of work and will never ask for a salary raise. In my opinion it is just the last excuse to make businesses more profitable and investors happier.

Language majors? But current chatgpt and google translate can do that, you can even translate videos already :/

Since the beginning of the industrialism it’s been the same thing. “Oh, one machine suddenly did 100 people’s job! So they weren’t needed any longer!” That’s what you read in the history books. Yes, AI will change the society, but we will need to find ways to adapt to it

Take my fuckin barista job pls

ppl keep saying new jobs will come but it wont be enough for everyone that needs them

Oh cmon people think outside the box. The world isn’t perfect. Plenty to build, new job types to come, like for example a computer programmer never existed 50 years ago, I’m sure new types of jobs will be needed

1. Who’s gonna buy stuff if nobody is making money. 2. If people lose their jobs and you ignore them, there’s gonna be a revolution and everything will be destroyed. 3. I fear that government is too stupid to figure this out and the corporations can’t see past their own greed.

Really wild times we are living in! We humans still struggle to grasp the concept of exponential growth in a tangible way. It literally could go from "waiting for the current technology not to suck" to it being "smarter than you will ever be" within 1 or 2 system updates lol. I don't blame people for having a hard time facing that type of existential dilemma. It really is a lot to deal with cognitively.

BladeRunner 2049...methinks we are living in a dystopia.

CEO'S are about to be out of a job, that's probably the simplest job to replace with AI, but the skilled tradesmen is much more difficult, not only do you need the AI but you also need the robotics. When you can replace the guy lying in a ditch with a ft of mud and water welding out a pipeline with just inches of space to move around in then it might be capable of replacing skilled trades but then again just one of these machines and the AI to go with it would be insanely expensive probably multi billions of dollars... but chat gpt can replace a ceo now for a few bucks

Tech is a double-edged sword, man. It's both a blessing and a curse.

People need to own some of those stocks to get dividends from the robots doing that work

foreign languages? my first job as a translator got replaced.

Introduce AI tax. Introduce AI tax. Introduce AI tax.

3:07 what are you gonna go back and learn? well said!

Foreign language majors are toast. There will be instantaneous translations to any language, and a choice of hundreds of voices, and altered to be more polite or casual etc...

As a former liberal arts major who works in tech, it was interesting to hear Cuban's words. That said, I think the future is a tax on AI to support UBI - universal basic income, so that humanity can support itself by doing more creative endeavors, which are harder for computer algorithms to do well.

This is a interview that 7 years ago, this is crazy

This was 7 years ago! This guy is too insightful

So what AI stock should i invest in then?

LOL this fucking interviewer "you gotta go back for education to learn.... whatever it takes" guy, a robot can do those things 10000 times better than a college student

The most valuable resource is human labor. People like this strive to pay as little as possible for it. Al is a tool to make people believe they’re not needed but without the proper skills the system will collapse. He’s encouraging the youth to waste their time on skills that are worthless. Learn to be electricians and plumbers and the world will always need you.

Ai ain't taking my job. I got a hands on/ technical job that requires travel...not happening

TErMiNatOr movies getting real

A.I. is a tool for all humans to be more productive, generative & influential.

Cut the cord on AI now. Please.

I really hope this becomes a reality

I'm a software engineer but going to start training as an electrician or plumber (haven't decided yet). I'll be a long time before AI can make itself a cup of coffee, pack a van in the morning, drive to a random address and perform incredibly complex physical actions in 3D space. I can't image the latest humanoid robots who take 2 minutes to crack an egg carrying a boiler up a ladder and crawling around attics cutting and soldering copper pipe!

What am i supposed to major in anymore fam 💀

I guess the only option is government jobs, where we still use software from the 1990s and most people have as much knowledge about computers as your grandma

I hope it takes my job i hate data entry

That is spot on. All the people bringing this in is going to be out of employment soon. Solicitors and doctors, and anything to do with paperwork etc as these will be done by technology.

And one solar flare will bring world back to stone age.

“When I was writing code”, oh so mark was a programmer now? 😂

Capitalism is on its way out. Time for society to come up with post labor economics. I believe there will be a period of dystopia as we figure this out. Then a beautiful future.

A.I. and robots are gonna replace all the jobs that robots and A.I. can do better. Most college degree holders now and those currently in college are all working towards something that will be obsolete. Sadghuru mentioned this. Learn a good skill that can't be replaced. Offer a service that can't be automated. Unfortunately most office cubicle computer clickers will be obsolete. White collar jobs gonna fade out, blue collar will hold up better because many physical jobs won't easily get replaced but give it time and that too will change.

Don't get your AI news from Mark Cuban. AI is a joke and can't do half the crap these people claim it can do. Maybe in 20 years.
