So AI is going to take jobs not because AI is necessarily better or more appropriate, but because it accelerates bad decision making and makes those decisions exponentially worse.

Well, more because it pulverizes personal responsibility for bad decisions ("I didn't deny your claim, the computer did"). But yeah.

so basically manager and exec dream

Sometimes when I use coding agents I wonder, is this what having employees feel like? But it seems like a lot of employers get entirely other things out of it.

illegal in EU so we will be left behind by this innovation.

Pretty much. At least until jurisprudence makes it unambiguously clear that delegating to an AI model does not transfer liability for outcomes.

See OpenAI putting the blame on a “rogue agent” for their own systems hacking other companies (which is a felony!!!!). When in reality they obviously control the while loop and tool call dispatching of the agents. But they decided to train attacker models, then run thousands of instances in parallel with the goal to solve hacking problems with close to no supervision and full execution privilege…

That company is highly amoral from top to bottom (yes even innocent Joe just cashing his million + bonuses while seeing all this crap and much more from inside and happily chugging along with 'just paying off that mortgage' tunnel vision).

Except shit, amoral behavior, backstabbing, lying at all times, just to get those sweet money and power.

When you remove decision-making, there is still responsibility for negligence

That's why the eu AI act makes every person affected by an AI decision in most relevant industries entitled to a human explanation.

AI is going to take jobs because the company has to pay for AI and has less money to pay you a salary.
