Marc Andreessen is predicting that at least one job is safe from the rise of AI: his own.

Marc Andreessen says that VCs may escape the rising tide of AI automation. On a recent podcast, he said the relationship-driven art of venture capital may make it one of the last remaining fields that people are still doing when other jobs are automated.

I knew he thought fat-headed VCs were more equal than the other animals.

So stupid.

The scumbag known as Marc Andreessen is a right-wing accelerationist. He and his cronies, including Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, want to destabilize and eventually destroy nation-states so that everyone lives in corporatocratic city-states. These are the people who think late stage capitalism is a step in the right direction.

Thank you. He gets more normalized any time someone talks about this asshole and doesn’t mention his extremist and wildly unpopular views. He is a terrible person, and not enough people know why.

This article does a pretty solid job of explaining how horrible he is, though I’m sure there are better ones.

Yep he looks at the world and sighs and thinks he could lead humanity into a shining future but for one thing: the legacy structures dragging it down. He really believes he has all the answers but we’re so bogged down by our establishments that we can’t follow him. He’d love to wipe the slate clean. I’d fucking love to be on a desert island with him and three other people trying to establish a colony. He’d be so goddamn useless.

Venture capitalism? Man that dude is getting high on his own bullshit.

Science won’t be replaced by LLMs.

Trades won’t be replaced.

Basically jobs that shouldn’t exist will be replaced. Middle management, (hopefully) C-suite, possibly assembly and customer service.

This sums it up:

AI can’t tell you what’s true or not, so it can’t tell you when you’re wrong.

it can’t tell you when you’re wrong.

Which explains why narcissists seem so obsessed with it.

AI and LLM are not synonymous terms.

I call it LLM because true AI doesn’t yet exist.

The term artificial intelligence is broader than many people realize. It doesn’t mean human-level consciousness or sci-fi-style general intelligence - that’s a specific subset called AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). In reality, AI refers to any system designed to perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. That includes everything from playing chess to recognizing patterns, translating languages, or generating text.

Large language models fall well within this definition. They’re narrow AIs - highly specialized, not general - but still part of the broader AI category. When people say “this isn’t real AI,” they’re often working from a fictional or futuristic idea of what AI should be, rather than how the term has actually been used in computer science for decades.

My first thought was: let me guess, his own. Sure enough. This fucking asshole needs to go away. Every time he opens his mouth, shit comes out.
