LLMs cannot replace what we do. Only AGI could do that, at which point you could say the same about anything.

'Racist' in your culture, not in mine.

The reason you feel safe now is because of the marketing tactics of AI companies in pushing their phished goods on the world. LLMs have done anything yet other then reduced the barrier of entry into the software field. Like what google search and stackoverflow did 10yrs ago. The same principles apply, if your only skill is using an LLMs (or google searching) then you will be the first replaced when the markets turn. The ability to reason about options of a company in making money over the short term, vs long term, should be fairly easy to reason about based on the availibility of news. AI companies already know this. The stratergy has been played out. They make more money this way. They get to suck up all the info from your corperation, because they will get that data. Once they build these models, they will replace you too. Sure your saving time and money today, but thats just the cost of building the model for them.

Oh no, he doesn't feel safe at all -- just the opposite! But I agree that AI will definitely replace him, just that he already knows it.

Arthur Stacks has proven himself to be a textbook case of toxic malignant narcissism, which means all his bluster and self-aggrandizement masks his actual deep insecurity and self loathing, and you can't trust a word he says, because he can't prove any of his outlandish claims.

Notice how easy it was, after all his trolling and bluffing and lying about his so-called successful company, to make him run away with his tail between his legs in shame and narcissistic mortification, by simply asking him what the name of his company is. We haven't heard a peep out of him since then.

All I had to do was to feed his virulently racist posting history into ChatGPT to make a summary quoting his own words, and he was afraid to continue the conversation, because he could not even defend or acknowledge his own self-contradictory posting history and ignorant racist delusional beliefs. ChatGPT correctly concluded:

>Overall: Repeated racism, xenophobia and class disdain; many claims are factually incorrect or ignorant.

>Bottom line: the new comments reinforce the same patterns—overt racism/xenophobia, deep class disdain, bragging about a toxic workplace, and repeated factual ignorance.

Nobody wants to work for a boss like that, which shows that he was just flat out lying about how successful his 30-year-old company actually is, and why he was so terrified to admit the name of his company, because he doesn't want his own toxic words and unrepentant racism being associated with it.

LLMs are perfectly capable of replacing narcissistic deadwood dime-a-dozen Dilbertesque pointy haired lazy toxic managers and executives with low-value skill sets, who are merely self-aggrandizing parasites who disrespectfully exploit and leach value from hard working software developers, whose jobs are much more secure than his, because actually developing high quality software takes so much more skill and effort than he is capable of, even assisted by the best LLMs currently available.

He knows very well that he could easily be replaced by an LLM, and his employees would be much happier work for an AI than him. So he's simply projecting his own fears and inadequacies onto his employees and the rest of us, when he's the one who actually has the most to fear from AI replacing him.

The point I made in my previous post about how LLMs are nowhere near being able to replace software developers, but completely capable of replacing people like him, flies in the face of his false beliefs that he can maintain his lazy do-nothing job running his un-nameable company into the ground by replacing his software developers with LLMs.
