Samsung chip workers get $340k bonuses. American tech workers get laid off because AI is 'optimizing headcount.' Different kind of AI dividend

These samsung workers are producing the compute that reduces demand for american coders. It's like pointing out that tractor factorymen are getting bonuses while the stable-manager gets laid off. Well of course.

What do you think will happen to these chip workers as their jobs get automated with AI?

That is so far away. There is approximately 0 public training data for chip design. Just try asking an LLM to design hardware, it's laughable

EDIT: just realized I'm not sure what a "chip worker" in this article is. Someone doing digital design? Someone working in the fab? Hmm
