> As I am retired, I can assure you beyond any doubt I cannot be replaced by an LLM in the workplace.

That makes sense. Being removed from today’s workforce makes it easier to believe the narrative that AI is causing these shifts, when in fact they’re really the result of the end of historically low interest rates and other broader economic conditions.

> If you don't realize that's going to happen you don't realize just how many people come to work shuffle proverbial paper from one side of their desk to another, making sure forms are filled out correctly or this month's TPS cover sheets are attached

These people are not the entirety of the white collar market.

> And didn't someone high up in Microsoft say 95% of the programming in the future will be done by LLMs?

Moronic Microsoft executives have said a lot of things. It doesn't make them right.

> 'Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer scoffed at Apple's glass-and-metal gadget, telling USA Today that "there's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance."'

> Do you expect Microsoft intends to keep the 95% of programmers it doesn't need anymore?

I expect like most things that come out of their mouth, it's obvious bullshit because they are involved in peddling AI and would desparately love you to buy some.
