Tom Bilyeu Destroys Bernie Sanders' AI Plan
"So, uh, one of the things that's happening with AI is we're finally realizing that you can't make entry-level jobs really expensive by trying to throw the minimum wage into the trees and create something like AI, which is extraordinarily good at being an entry-level employee."
Tom Bilyeu says AI is “extraordinarily good at being an entry-level employee” and argues that making entry-level jobs “really expensive” — citing minimum-wage increases — incentivises businesses to replace those roles with automation. He adds that workers may need to demonstrate skills in other ways rather than relying on traditional entry-level pathways.
