Everyone’s talking about how AI will wipe out “computer jobs” in the private sector.

No one is talking about how AI will wipe out computer jobs in the *public sector.*

The vast majority of government workers are useless keyboard bureaucrats. Get rid of them all.

Government workers are already the least productive in the economy. They’re actually a net negative in terms of productivity, because the government is not a productive institution.

Government workers also contribute net negative taxes. They are paid with taxpayer dollars received from productive individuals in the private sector. So they pay taxes with taxes YOU already paid.

Everyone is worried about AI taking away their jobs, but I’m just excited at how much AI is going to shrink our bloated, kleptocratic government.

I only disagree with the idea that your taxes are a contribution at all. No amount of taxation can ever be a contribution, because nothing the government does is needed.

They are going to fight tooth and nail to keep their shitty scam going. Efficiency won't drive them out. It likely won't shrink at all. You saw how successful Elon was with doge

No fucking way in Europe. the private sector needs to compete. government only has a budget to spend. and If AI is deflationary they ll tax regulate and print as much as they can. until everyone is poor. i cant see them changing course. and i ll sit there with my BTC and outsource shitposting to my ...

The structural barrier isn't capability — it's incentives. Private sector firms cut headcount because profit margins demand it. Government agencies have the opposite incentive structure: budget size is a proxy for institutional importance, and reducing headcount means returning appropriations you'...

Government workwrs are the trial run for universal basic income, like working for the dole only you are forced to live and breath the woke shit 9-5

AI won’t just disrupt markets. It will audit inefficiency. And there is no larger concentration of inefficiency than institutions that don’t face profit and loss. When automation meets bureaucracy, we’re about to find out which jobs existed.. and which just persisted.

An efficient and effective government scares me as much as a bloated and ineffective one if not more

I’m sure there will be a government task force put together to discuss your proposal 🚁😂

I love the sentiment. But their jobs were useless to begin with. The reason they are going to lose their jobs is the government going broke. But they will blame AI. Same good outcome either way and we can both say we were right. 🤺

Ai cant vote, so public jobs are safe for thr most part xd

The government jobs tend to be the last that fall!

You’re right in that ai *can* do government jobs, but the government has to decide to let that happen. Being a federal employee, we are just now starting to *test* work with copilot for the first time. I’d say we’re using 2023 level ai so far.

People that understand code and computers seem like the most empowered with this shift. The idea a boomer CEO can vibe code up some SAAS to save millions is pretty far off for me. Which devs are they able to blame when they don’t meet their OKRs ??

I think this whole topic should be approached with a degree of humility and humanity, irrespective of sector. Each person has a story, a family to feed, bills to pay etc. The Q should be framed more to how do we respond to the implications of AI on the collective global workforce in just and fair wa...

idk, actually... what's worse than a bureaucratic state? a state with the same power, same violence, same surveillance, but all run by AI

If the job of a government bureaucrat was to provide value to taxpayers, you would be right and AI would finally be the technology to right-size governments. I’m afraid that is not what their job actually is. Ultimately, everyone on the government payroll ensures the system keeps going as is—ext...

It will get rid of neither in very large numbers this side of AGI. Current LLMs are vast statistical most likely next token machines. They do not reason. They do not understand. They do not abstract. That is not sufficient to make human workers superfluous.

Nope. You just contradicted yourself: you claim government workers are the least productive in the economy (I agree), therefore they won’t bother adopting a productivity tool. Your argument refutes itself. No wonder you had the wrong take on OP_RETURN…🤡

The thing is that those public workers are already useless and still are payed with taxpayer money. So AI will make them even more useless for sure but they will remain anyway and continue to be fed with stolen money.
