“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.”
From 2022, the introduction of #ChatGPT and #GenerativeAI has been building up within the corporate mindset. So too has the #ZeroWorkHours for White collar workers.

I've upgraded the 2015 Macbook Air I use for managing synths that don't like Linux. to Sonoma using OpenCore. There's a little bit of reduced performance from Monterey but it's impressive that it can be done almost transparently, so it should be good for a bit longer. #MacOS #OpenCore #reduce #reuse #recycle
A reminder. Recycling should be what we do when we’ve tried all these other options. #ClimateAction #Reduce #ReUse #Recycle #Climate
You know what would be cool? A leave one - take one box for cloth shopping bags near the register in shops. Forgot your bag at home, or bought more or more bulky things than you expected? Grab a bag instead of buying a paper bag that is nominally reusable, but usually isn't re-used.
Have too many cloth shopping bags at home? Wash them and leave a few at the box for someone else...
Why a new #zero-carbon #UK #steel plant offers hope and a headache | Steel industry | The Guardian
The problem with making steel using a #BlastFurnace is that it requires very high temperatures and #CokingCoal to #reduce the #Oxygen content as it is made to bond to #Carbon instead. This produces #CarbonMonoxide and then #CarbonDioxide.

#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
