Microsoft argues that its AI automation will remove the boring bits of jobs instead of replacing jobs entirely.
Simple question: does the Microsoft HR department agree?
No. But expect to do more work for the same pay since things are slightly easier now with AI.
Meanwhile, I’m at my job trying to get an instance of a machine that can automatically SFTP somewhere as part of a script like it’s 1998 and I need a shell account from my dialup connection.
Working on legacy systems is nice sometimes. So far removed from the techbro bullshit
Our jobs have always been at risk from outsourcing.
Fortunately, they don’t (currently) appear to be good at it.
As long as there’s risk and liability, firable employees will be better.
Depends. Are you this guy?
You physically take the specs from the customer to the engineers? Well… No.
HR will transition to HAIR then finally AIR.

This argument is such bullshit. As if Microsoft doesn’t know there exist jobs that are entirely “the boring bits”.
That is very true, especially when it comes to any administrative task. However I’d argue that these jobs are less likely to be replaced, as these jobs are born out of a system that is favoring bureaucracy for the sake of bureaucracy over efficiency. Challenging that system would result in a shift in the power dynamics, often towards subordinates, which, of course, wouldn’t really be accepted by leading positions.
Incoming data stream! This one is from a scientist! Ok Chat-GPT, get ready to learn how to be a scientist!
Incoming data stream! From a mom…oh shit Chat-GPT… run! It’s a single mom! Oh hold on! She found someone to love again! Nope, he was just using her for her beauty again. Well maybe just learn to do all chores, feed the kids, go to work, get sexually abused, fall a sleep, do all chores and make-up! And figure out if only fans really does work! And more chores.
