That would mean CEOs would share the benefits of automation with employees. They won't. They'll cut 60% of staff and work that 40% full time or more.

and nobody but 10 white guys would be able to afford food

The formerly richest man on the planet believes capitalism will pass the benefits of AI to all of us.

Ha ha

How are these people so fucking out of touch? Or are they just lying?

With Two-Day or even less pay. Aka. certain death.

You’ll also receive two days of pay per week.

God, he's such a fucking idiot.

Yes. Two days per job, three jobs per week to barely survive.

Keyes believed we'd have a 15 hour week by now. These things are not predictable

Hundreds of years ago we toiled in fields for 8+hrs to feed the family and keep a roof over our heads.. since then, with all the technology and advancements to make our lives easier, we still work 8+hrs a day to feed the family and keep a roof over our heads.. I doubt his claims

In an ideal world, yes. Under Capitalism, no.

Bill Gates is Trump's little bitch. He doesn't care about any of us any more than Elon or Trump himself.

I get really sick of rich people promising their latest product will mean 4/3/2 day working weeks, and when others parrot this nonsense I just despair.

Leaving aside the dispute over "AI" and it's actual effect on efficiency...

If efficiency savings were all that was needed we would already be there. There's been hundreds of such advances. But all that happens is the wealthy get more wealth. They will always find work for us in those "saved days", and will increase our costs until we have to work those days to survive.

AI will replace Jobs

Could be, but I thought Jobs has died?

He was at Bezos' wedding with everyone else...fuck you Bill.

Two days at the 1st job, two days at the 2nd job, and 2 days at the 3rd job.

2 day work week....for C-Suite.

So now it's "AI" that should allow us to profit from the efficiency increases you assholes actively siphoned off for yourself for decades??

🙄

CEOs lost their mind at the proposition of the 4 day work week.

They want us poor and starving and unemployed and racist so we are at each others’ throats instead of theirs.

It's just to sell his AI crap. It's like saying AI will save humanity or something, it's just a money/power grab.

no, it'll lead to a 50 hour work week for two days pay.

Why would they have the same number of employees working a 2 day work week instead of having 20% of their workforce working a 5 day work week?

People that think AI will replace most people's jobs are people that don't actually work for a living. Managers, CEOs etc. They see AI taking notes in meetings and spewing out bullshit emails and think "wow AI can do people's jobs!" No, AI can do your job. And yeah, we probably can cut down on management jobs already. But who's going to make that decision?

yes, two 48-hour shifts

do people really think working less is possible under capitalism nowadays?

Let's all just pretend Bill didn't repeatedly hang with Epstein after he was convicted.

I want to work less, yes, but we all know he's saying this just to manipulate us into interacting, supporting and using AI more.. probably to boost his networth or something dumb like that.

And I predicted that Bill Gates is a sack of shit.

I was right, he was wrong

So far it has led to many people being laid off. Meanwhile Greece just pushed for 6 day working weeks with 13 hour work days, was it?

... for him and his friends.

A 2-day workweek for whom?

Even if that were true, what he really means is that 2 out of 5 people will have a full work week, doing more work for no increase in pay, while the remaining 3 people lose their jobs.

Meaning your take home pay will be 2/5ths of what it is now.

Two day work week with no pay increase and no social net

...for shareholders and billionaires.

I predict Bill Gates will be dead before we have two day workweeks.
