A few weeks ago, Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak managed to mention AI in his commencement speech to the Grand Valley State University class of 2026—without receiving a wave of boos from the crowd.

“You all have AI—actual intelligence,” Wozniak said, eliciting applause from the Michigan audience. “My entire life in the technical world, I’ve been following people who were trying to figure out how to make a brain.

“I was at a company where the engineers figured out how to make a brain,” he continued, saying it “takes nine months.”

For new college grads who are entering an unsteady job market with fewer openings for entry-level positions, Wozniak’s words probably felt like the most reassuring message they’ve heard all spring.

“I don’t use AI much at all,” Wozniak said during a March interview with CNN. “I often read things [AI produces], and they just sound too dry and too perfect. I want something from a human being, and I’m disappointed a lot.”

The takeover isn’t happening yet!

Last month an @nvidiastudio exec said the cost of compute is ‘far beyond’ the cost of employees and a 2024 @mit_csail study found similar results with vision-based jobs, stating it’s only ‘economically viable for 23%’ of those jobs.

The math will likely change in the future but for now, humans are still cheaper.

But, what made this thread different wasn’t the outrage. It was how quickly the discussion turned practical: repairability, resale value, and why some old equipment is still worth the trouble.

It’s not looking good for finance bros as another major banker has sung the praises of AI automating their profession.

On Monday, CEO of JPMorgan Jamie Dimon said that the multinational lender would likely hire less traditional bankers in the future, and instead favor bringing in more AI specialists. Out with the pencil pushers, and in with the prompters.

“I think it will reduce our jobs down the road,” Dimon said in a Bloomberg Television interview during the bank’s China Summit. “There will be all different types of jobs, and I think we will be hiring more AI people and fewer bankers in certain categories, and it will make them more productive.”

Ohjelmistokehittäjä väittää Googlen Gemini -tekoälyassistentin poistaneen lähes 30 000 riviä tuotannossa ollutta koodia hänen ohjelmistostaan. Redditiin kirjoittamassaan julkaisussa koodari avaa, kuinka tekoälymalli järjesteli koodikantaa uudelleen. Sen ohjeistuksena oli säilyttää ohjelman ydintoiminnot. Gemini teki työtä käskettyä ja avasi pull requestin, joka lisäsi noin 400 riviä koodia, mutta poisti samalla liki 29 000 riviä. Koodin lisäksi avustaja poisti useita muita tiedostoja.
