Marc Andreessen is predicting that at least one job is safe from the rise of AI: his own.

Marc Andreessen says that VCs may escape the rising tide of AI automation. On a recent podcast, he said the relationship-driven art of venture capital may make it one of the last remaining fields that people are still doing when other jobs are automated.

    The scumbag known as Marc Andreessen is a right-wing accelerationist. He and his cronies, including Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, want to destabilize and eventually destroy nation-states so that everyone lives in corporatocratic city-states. These are the people who think late stage capitalism is a step in the right direction.

      Thank you. He gets more normalized any time someone talks about this asshole and doesn’t mention his extremist and wildly unpopular views. He is a terrible person, and not enough people know why.

      This article does a pretty solid job of explaining how horrible he is, though I’m sure there are better ones.

      Yep he looks at the world and sighs and thinks he could lead humanity into a shining future but for one thing: the legacy structures dragging it down. He really believes he has all the answers but we’re so bogged down by our establishments that we can’t follow him. He’d love to wipe the slate clean. I’d fucking love to be on a desert island with him and three other people trying to establish a colony. He’d be so goddamn useless.

    Venture capitalism? Man that dude is getting high on his own bullshit.

    Science won’t be replaced by LLMs.

    Trades won’t be replaced.

    Basically jobs that shouldn’t exist will be replaced. Middle management, (hopefully) C-suite, possibly assembly and customer service.

    My first thought was: let me guess, his own. Sure enough. This fucking asshole needs to go away. Every time he opens his mouth, shit comes out.

    The problem is not people like him. The problem are newspapers publishing it as though it was important and people giving a shit about it as though he wasn’t a moron.
