Marc Andreessen is predicting that at least one job is safe from the rise of AI: his own.
Marc Andreessen says that VCs may escape the rising tide of AI automation. On a recent podcast, he said the relationship-driven art of venture capital may make it one of the last remaining fields that people are still doing when other jobs are automated.
Venture capitalism? Man that dude is getting high on his own bullshit.
Science won’t be replaced by LLMs.
Trades won’t be replaced.
Basically jobs that shouldn’t exist will be replaced. Middle management, (hopefully) C-suite, possibly assembly and customer service.
This sums it up:
AI can’t tell you what’s true or not, so it can’t tell you when you’re wrong.
Which explains why narcissists seem so obsessed with it.
AI and LLM are not synonymous terms.
I call it LLM because true AI doesn’t yet exist.
The term artificial intelligence is broader than many people realize. It doesn’t mean human-level consciousness or sci-fi-style general intelligence - that’s a specific subset called AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). In reality, AI refers to any system designed to perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. That includes everything from playing chess to recognizing patterns, translating languages, or generating text.
Large language models fall well within this definition. They’re narrow AIs - highly specialized, not general - but still part of the broader AI category. When people say “this isn’t real AI,” they’re often working from a fictional or futuristic idea of what AI should be, rather than how the term has actually been used in computer science for decades.
these type of visualisations always come to mind when people say things are not AI
