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.
What do you think happens to all of us who can’t work when this magical genAI appears? You think I’m gonna sit on my ass and accept your authority? You think the world is? This is destabilizing alright. But not the kind that will bring your network states to life. Its the kind that destroys all civilization and leaves us picking at your bones for scraps.
They expect you to die of starvation, disease, and infighting. If you choose to lunge at them, they hope to have a network of automated weapons to drop the god particle on your peasant ass.
Once they no longer need your labor, you are an externality to them. A cost to be cut.
Yeah its gonna be a good long while before rods of god can be wasted on singular scrubs. They got the robot dogs with guns though. Still. Fighting a war against peasants is hard when they realize its going on. We’re far too many to deal with. Its why they spend trillions dividing the working class.
