davidpattersonx · x · 2026-07-12
The repost initially states that AI has so far created more jobs than it has destroyed: Companies like OpenAI and Anthropic continue to aggressively hire as their models grow more powerful, and Databricks is also actively recruiting. Based on this, the author believes the reality is closer to "people who know how to use powerful AI replacing those who don't," rather than simple machines replacing humans.
The original post adds a more aggressive take: The singularity is just beginning, and superintelligence is on its way.
