一水 发自 凹非寺 量子位 | 公众号 QbitAI 马斯克开始用AI取代手底下员工了！ 这一次，他把刀挥向了X （前推特） ——用Grok取代X员工。 据The Information消息，上个月有两位知情人士向他们透露， 马斯克解雇了X公司里负责 打击垃圾邮件、影响力行动、非法内容以及其他信任与安全问题的工程团队的一半成员 。 这个团队在本轮裁员之前已缩减至不足20人，而老马在2022年收购推特时，其团队规模曾 超过100人。 从超100人→不足10人，足以见得老马裁员的程度有多深、有多狠。 事实上，如果回顾老马10月中旬发布的一条推文，那么此次曝出的裁员消息也就不意外了。 当时老马表示，要在未来几周内彻底移除X启发式推荐算法，由Grok接手，通过阅读和观看 全部内容来全自动匹配用户兴趣。 连算法都全交给AI了，那背后的算法工程师及相关支持者们自然也就面临失业了。 而抛开X相关事件不谈，老马布下的棋子其实还很多。比如今年8月，硬刚微软成立巨硬 （Macrohard），号称要用AI把微软产品重做一遍。 一旦把这些事情放到一起看，老马背后的意图就不言自明了—— 用AI替代人力，用自动化替代传统工程。 就是说， ...
