What concerns me is why the Governor of the Bank of England is speaking publicly about AI or AI regulation, and why anyone should care what he thinks about it.

After heavy lobbying and huge donations from Big Tech, Trump killed a proposed Biden-era rule requiring AI companies to disclose their riskiest experiments to federal officials.

Everything is for sale.

What happens to consulting firms amid the AI disruption?
- fewer juniors
- record profits
- record pay for seniors

Why? "AI can’t replace lived experience or replicate the judgment and unwritten knowhow built over years".

Sorta like university Administrators who haven't taught a class of their own in years, even decades, but assume they know what learning strategies are effective.

Jacob Kramer-Duffield @jaykaydee.bsky.social · 3h

Again: AI is a technology but it's also an ideology; that ideology is Bossism; neither bosses nor AI advocates really understand what most people do in their jobs so both assume AI can do it.

They're *trying* but if these tools could replace jobs beyond Junior Software Developer, we'd know.

Tressie McMillan Cottom @tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 3h

It’s also really clear to me this week that the people telling us that AI will transform work…haven’t seen a lot of jobs where people work.
