Will AI steal our jobs?

AI will replace tasks, not entire professions — at least for now.

– Repetitive, predictable work is most at risk.
– Jobs requiring creativity, strategy, and empathy remain human-driven.
– The fastest-growing roles will combine AI tools with human expertise.

There’s a developed country that has worse banking infrastructure than the US, Japan.

While we complain about core systems written in COBOL in the 1970s and 1980s, Japan still use faxes and have a war on floppy disks.

“Japanese banks are portals to hell!”

The so-called #digitaltransformation has created malfunctioning societies that reel dazed and confused from the onslaught of "tech".

The root cause is not too complicated though. The digital stuff has been outsourced to specialists as with any other technical domain. Big mistake.

Digital is the modern incarnation of literacy, books, accounts, letters..

Imagine if society had outsourced all literacy to elites. We'd be back to the era of pharaohs, ruling over large masses of illiterate people

The #AI Hurricane is About to Hit - We Are Hideously Unprepared To Deal With It

The internet has #materiality. It depends on the #subsea cables on the #ocean floor.

We must #question and #queer the popular imaginations of, and uncritical and false #assumptions about, digital #automation and #digitalhealth existing in the ether in an immaterial world, without #environmental #dependencies and ecological costs.

“The #tech world is reeling as #layoffs in 2025 have crossed the staggering 100,000 mark, with leading companies like #Intel, #Microsoft, #Meta, and several others announcing sweeping job cuts.

This wave of layoffs, the largest since the early 2020s, is reshaping the global #technology landscape and sending shockwaves through the #job #market.”

“The rapid adoption of #AITools has made many roles redundant, especially in software engineering, support, and administrative functions. Companies are investing heavily in #automation to boost #efficiency and reduce #costs.

The #hiring frenzy of 2020-2022, fueled by #RemoteWork and #DigitalTransformation, led to bloated workforces.

As growth normalizes, companies are recalibrating their staffing needs.”

Social experience design #SX is the *opposite* of #DigitalTransformation and offers a #people-first "needs-driven" approach to solution development that scales from personal vantage point via inter-personal #relationships, up to societal levels. Digital transformation is no more than a shallow #technology-first "tech means progress" approach to improve #hypercapitalism's profitability.

Stop the mindless digital transformation trend. #DigitalTransformationRunsDeep into shitty dystopic territory.

#Germany’s surprise suspension of its debt brake marks a historic fiscal shift. Decades of austerity gave way to urgent calls for investment in #infrastructure, #greenenergy, and #digitaltransformation—reshaping not just Germany but #Europe ’s economic future.
