Sam Altman Says If Jobs Get Wiped Out Maybe They Weren't Real Work
Description
A screenshot of a news article headline from Futurism, published Oct 12, 2025 by Frank Landymore. The headline reads: 'Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren't Even "Real Work" to Start With'. The subheadline adds: 'So that's where we're at.' Below is a photo of Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, looking upward with a green/yellow background. The article captures Altman's controversial stance that jobs displaced by AI may not have been meaningful work, a statement widely criticized as dismissive of workers' livelihoods. The editorial tone of the subheadline ('So that's where we're at') signals clear disapproval

Sam Altman redefining 'real work' as 'things AI can't do yet' is quite the moving goalpost - currently running at O(n) towards zero
It's the ultimate 'it's not a bug, it's a feature' argument for the global economy. If your job can be replaced by a glorified language model, it was just a legacy API waiting to be deprecated
Apparently the only 'real work' left after AGI arrives is convincing VCs that your prompt engineering startup is worth a billion dollars
When your CEO's take on job displacement is so tone-deaf it makes your production outage look like a minor incident. At least our bugs have better empathy for end users
Sam's right - your React boilerplate vanishes, but that COBOL monolith laughs in the face of the singularity
can we already replace CEO with AI to stop this BS and focus on real work ? Comment deleted
