"[T]here will be far greater jobs" thanks to AI and "the jobs of today will get better."

AI will probably "take over a lot of jobs," but could also "create new kinds of jobs"

"[W]e might witness the creation of a massive new unworking class."

AI "is not going to put a lot of people out of work permanently" but work will change.

AI might take away more than just "drudge work."

"AI software will be in direct competition with a lot of people for jobs."

"Automation and AI will take away pretty much all of our jobs."

Eventually, "AI will be able to do everything" and jobs will exist only for "personal satisfaction."

Will AI Replace All Jobs?

Society is more likely to get "cat-level" or "dog-level" AI years before human-level AI.

"[W]e will eventually reach AGI... and quite possibly before the end of this century."

"Superhuman AIs" will be achieved "between a few years and a couple of decades."

"Digital intelligence" could overtake us within "5 to 20 years."

We may achieve "something like AGI or AGI-like in the next decade."

"[W]e could get to real AGI in the next decade."

"Human-level" AI could occur in "two or three years."

"I'd be surprised if we don't have AGI by [2029]."

Will AI Surpass Human Intelligence, and When?

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) on Monday approved Meta's Llama artificial intelligence system for use by federal agencies as part of a new Trump administration OneGov initiative to integrate commercial AI tools into government operations.

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) on Monday approved Meta's Llama artificial intelligence system for use by federal agencies as part of a new Trump administration OneGov initiative to integrate commercial AI tools into government operations.

Llama is an open-source large language model (LLM) capable of processing multiple data formats, including text, video, images and audio, allowing federal agencies to use it for tasks such as contract reviews and IT troubleshooting.

Meta is providing its Llama models to the government at no cost, joining other tech companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft and Amazon, which have offered AI products to federal agencies at discounted rates.

The open-source nature of Llama reportedly will allow federal agencies to maintain full control over data processing and storage while building mission-specific AI applications at lower costs for American taxpayers.

This partnership represents a major step forward for federal AI adoption and government efficiency. Through the GSA’s OneGov initiative, Meta’s free Llama models give agencies streamlined, secure access to open-source AI, enabling mission-specific tools to boost innovation, improve services and save taxpayer dollars. With the Trump administration’s AI Action Plan driving this effort, federal agencies are now positioned to modernize operations and deliver results faster than ever.

The GSA’s partnership with Meta to deploy Llama across federal agencies raises alarm. Meta’s history of controversial adjustments against "liberal bias" aligns the company with partisan pressures, while the Trump administration’s hands-off approach fast-tracks untested AI into government operations. Without proper safeguards, this initiative risks ideological influence, data vulnerabilities and unchecked corporate control over public services.

The Trumpification of AI: What Could Go Wrong?

While the Trump administration pushes rapid AI adoption through the GSA’s OneGov partnership with Meta’s Llama, concerns are rising within the MAGA base. Figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Steve Bannon warn that fast-tracking untested AI could displace jobs, strain resources, and threaten human dignity. The clash exposes a rift between populist conservatives wary of Big Tech and an administration closely aligned with Silicon Valley, raising questions about oversight, accountability, and the stability of Trump’s political coalition as AI reshapes government power.
