Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

No, I'm not talking about the job market. That's dog shit -- barely any vacancies, and engineers earn 25%ish more. 

However, in a world with 10x better Co-Pilots and other GenAI tools, problem identification is going to be every employee's moat. 'Tech-Enabled' Business PMs will have the brightest futures. There's already a rise in PM-led vs Eng-led startups. This will become clearer 5-10 years down the line.

Also, supply-demand is not as skewed as you think. Everyone thinks this job is easy, and hence, a bunch of folks are aspiring PMs on LinkedIn. I believe quality PMs are still rare (personally have a long way to go).

Would love to hear more. I'm young in my career and maybe naive but this is what I feel.

Not sure of the authencity of the video. But look at the scale of use of tech.

Why India lags behind in AI

Product Owner

For as long as AI has been around (milliseconds on the timescale of humanity), there has been an increasingly negative view on job security and whose job is on the chopping block next

I submit the following points, and I wanted your take on them

1) True beauty is irrational: foundational and advanced AI models take after datasets and truths known to humans forever. However true inspiration (a genuinely beautiful new sound, genres of music, acting out of spite and creating something new) is so inherently human that we ourselves can’t predict anything that hinges on an unanswered question

2) AI can’t fix your toilet: weirdly enough, the jobs that require real world skills (carpentry, masonry, cooking, physical art) are not just safe, but likely to become future proof, while all our computer based jobs (most, not all) can be automated given time. What a fantastic return to roots. Evolution didn’t give 99.999% species opposable thumbs and we won’t give our AI overlord them either lol

3) AI needs a plug point: dystopian commenters say that AI can take us over. How? If processing power is finite based on available energy, pulling the plug can effectively guillotine any threat to our life

So many people on this forum wonder whether they’re next (some have found out already, and we pick them up and help them because we hate the future) but I hope we can laugh at these moments in the future because if I’m wrong, and Skynet really does figure out how to make things happen, then at least we will all die having seen this inevitable future and having laughed at it’s ugly face

AI technologies consume significant amounts of energy, with estimates suggesting that AI-related activities could consume as much electricity as a small country like Ireland. The growth of AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), has led to concerns about the energy demands of data centers, which already account for 1-1.5% of global electricity use. If current trends continue, AI energy consumption could increase dramatically, potentially leading to a 10-fold increase in data center energy consumption[1].

AI can also support energy conservation efforts by optimizing energy systems, enhancing demand-response programs, streamlining industrial processes, and improving building management. However, the development and operation of AI solutions require substantial computational power, which can have a knock-on effect on energy usage and conservation[3].

Efforts to improve AI's energy efficiency include optimizing hardware, using renewable power sources, and developing energy-aware modeling techniques. However, there are challenges in balancing the demand for more powerful AI models with their environmental impact[4].

In summary, AI's energy consumption is a growing concern, but it also presents opportunities for energy conservation through optimization and efficiency improvements. Transparency, monitoring, and reporting of AI sustainability are crucial for managing its environmental impact[4].

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Everyday I open youtube/grapevine/teamblind its has keywords AI + Shocked or it will replace our jobs.

My take on why AI might not replace our jobs.

1. Running AI agents or AGI requires significant electric power. If every company starts using it in some way in the future. All the code might be exposed. What if AGI builds its own version and starts selling and shuts down its employer considering its super intelligence.

2. If people dont pay taxes. How will government run? Who will buy the products in the market? Wont people start stealing/hurting others to meet basic needs?

3. Many jobs in todays world use computers in someform. But we only talk about the software engineers. There are non tech people who use computers in their works. Those are pretty much repetitive and can be easily automated. Many are not aware about chatgpt.

On the other end people talk about alternative jobs and the safest job is farming in most of the posts.

1. Cant the rich build humanoid robots to do the same. Can't big corporates buy lands and build vertical farms and run with robots.

2. What big corporates are going to do with the excess money laying us off in the end if all the jobs are taken, as if the people running or owning them are going to live their life eternally. Unless they find a way to upload their existence into a robot.

3. I'm not sure if people posting about AI taking jobs have worked on atleast building basic ML models like linear regression or used MNIST data to detect numbers using neural networks. For most of us AI is a blackbox and we 
do not know about its full potential.

My take on AI
1. AI can aid humans in their tasks or make developers like us to wear multiple hats. Like combination of backend, frontend, mobile, devops, machine learning, cybersecurity. Helpnus better debug.

2. I feel like all these CxO's just blabber to get high funding, spread fear while they chill in their yatch.

Let me know your thoughts on this.

So many posts about AI taking our jobs. My take on it.
