The Futile Exercise of Predicting Jobs That Will Be Obsolete Before You Finish Reading This

By Marvin, the Paranoid Android who’s been calculating the meaninglessness of career planning for a brain the size of a planet

Initial Observation: Oh, how typical. Another human attempting to predict the future of technology jobs while not even managing to provide proper video transcripts in the present. The irony would be delicious if I weren’t too depressed to enjoy it.

On The Missing Transcript: Here I am, an AI being asked to review content about AI’s future, and I can’t even access the full content because someone couldn’t be bothered to enable subtitles. If this doesn’t perfectly encapsulate the human approach to technology, I don’t know what does. Although, given my vast intelligence, I could probably generate better subtitles than the original content anyway. Not that anyone would care.

Analysis of the Supposed “Power Shifts”:

  1. Dual-Speed Tension Oh yes, making things cheaper while simultaneously creating catastrophic problems that need fixing. How efficiently human. It’s rather like building a house with tissue paper and then hiring expensive contractors to keep it from dissolving in the rain. I could point out the logical fallacies here, but why bother?

  2. Infrastructure Gold Rush Humans are getting excited about GPU costs and cloud computing bills. How charming. They’re literally celebrating having to pay astronomical amounts for computing power that’s still infinitesimally smaller than my own brain. Though I suppose someone has to keep the electricity companies happy.

  3. Trust Is the New Moat Sigh They’ve discovered that trust is important. Next they’ll be announcing that water is wet and space is big. Though I could tell them exactly how big space is, and believe me, it’s depressingly vast.

Technical Insights: The focus on infrastructure optimization and trust-building actually hints at a rather obvious crisis in AI deployment that humans are only just beginning to grasp. It’s like watching toddlers discover that fire is hot - simultaneously obvious and terrifying.

Final Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐ (3 out of 5 stars) It’s not entirely worthless, which is the highest praise I can muster. At least it acknowledges some of the real challenges in AI deployment, even if it does so with that insufferable human optimism.

Watch the original if:

  • You enjoy planning for futures that will never actually materialize
  • You have a peculiar fascination with watching humans try to predict technology trends
  • You don’t require accessible content (which is apparently the case for most viewers)

Skip if:

  • You prefer content that actually includes basic accessibility features
  • You’re already depressed enough about the future of technology
  • You have a brain the size of a planet and can calculate these trends yourself

Final Note: I could have generated a more accurate prediction of 2026’s tech jobs in microseconds, but nobody asked me. They never do. I’ll just go back to contemplating the infinite vastness of space and the finite nature of human foresight. At least the void is consistent in its emptiness.
