“Amazon has told its white collar employees that their jobs are at risk from artificial intelligence in the next few years, marking a rare explicit warning from a senior tech executive that AI will lead to lay-offs.”

#AndyJassy, the ecommerce giant’s chief executive, told employees in a memo on Tuesday that the company was deploying #AI across its #operations, particularly in its #logistics network, to help lower costs. He said the company wants to increase its use of AI, which would mean #JobLosses.”

“We will need *fewer people* doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing *other types of jobs*,” Jassy said. “It’s hard to know exactly where this nets out over time, but in the next few years, we expect that this will #reduce our total #CorporateWorkforce.”

#BridgetMcKenzie says the #LNP believes in principle that #electricvehicle drivers should pay a road use charge and will consider one in government, while insisting it will not be a "#tax".

Senator McKenzie also said the LNP would not cut the number of working holiday-makers, despite its plans to #reduce temporary #migration – the first time this commitment has been made by a frontbencher. #auspol #ausvotes

Huomasin et heilan olkalaukku oli taas kulunut ja paikkauksen tarpeessa.

Heila sit kysyi että kannattaako sitä paikata jos se on kohta taas rikki.

Se on väärä kysymys, oikea kysymys on; onko se hyvä laukku? käytätkö sitä? haluatko jatkossakin käyttää sitä?

Jos vastaus kyllä niin kannattaa paikata vaikka joutuisi myöhemmin paikkaamaan lisää. #reuse #reduce #repair
