From calling out their corporate greed to highlighting the dangers of AI, like Pandora, he has been desperately trying to stuff the fates back into the box. But, in a recent interview with <a class=\"ah hy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/videos\/2025-11-01\/wall-street-week-powell-s-pause-milei-s-win-video\" rel=\"noopener ugc nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Bloomberg<\/a>, he turned this up to eleven by calling out AI\u2019s very economic viability. When asked by Bloomberg whether the eye-watering investments in AI will ever pay off, Hinton replied, \u201cI believe that it can\u2019t,\u201d and elaborated, \u201cI believe that to make money you\u2019re going to have to replace human labour.\u201d Now, of course, Hinton, who also believes he has invented a computer god, is focused on the enormous negative impact of AI replacing human labour at scale. It basically turns this multi-trillion-dollar AI bet into a lose-lose situation. After all, if the investment \u2018pays off\u2019, the economy will be destroyed, making any kind of investment useless. But what Hinton failed to do was ask, \u201cCan AI replace labour?\u201d Hinton seems unwilling to deface the propaganda propping up his digital Frankenstein\u2019s monster, but fortunately, I have no such qualms. This is why AI can\u2019t replace you, and why that means it is\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Press enter or click to view image in full sizePhoto by Pawel Czerwinski on UnsplashBut he missed something&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147474,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[220,218,219,61,60,80],"class_list":{"0":"post-147473","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147473\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147474"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
