Mr. Xiaolong's Today's Perspective ---Silicon Valley creates AI, Philippines counts money: a $42 billion 'reverse harvest'! Brothers and sisters, are you shocked to see this title ？ I am also a bit surprised. How could the Philippines have such strength to compete with Silicon Valley for jobs? The reality is that Silicon Valley elites talk about "AI replacing humans" on stage, while Manila youth take over Silicon Valley's workstations with AI in the audience. This world never makes sense. When ChatGPT first came out in 2022, Wall Street was overwhelmingly pessimistic about the outsourcing industry in the Philippines: a country that relies on cheap English labor to support 8% of GDP is like fish on the chopping board in front of big models? What was the result? The number of employees in the Philippines surged by 20% to 1.9 million, and industry revenue surged by 30%, taking away $42 billion. Experts who predict that 'AI will destroy outsourcing in the third world' have cleaner faces than code. Why? Logic is cruel and humorous: AI is not a terminator, it is a 'digital exoskeleton'. In the past, Filipinos answered phone calls and emails with the slogan 'How cheap is the labor?'. Now then? The insurance qualification review and medical record organization of American hospitals, as well as the work previously done by high paying local teams, were all taken away by a Filipino team equipped with AI tools. A financial analyst with an annual salary of $200000 in New York may not necessarily be as efficient as the "Filipino guy with a monthly salary of $2000+GPT-4 combination". Capital is not foolish, the abacus rings loudly. Essentially, AI has done one thing: it has shattered the threshold of hardcore skills for white-collar workers. Advanced accounting, junior engineering, and medical data analysis, which used to require a prestigious school background and years of accumulation, were flattened overnight by big models. As expert Gao Limeo has said, AI is the strongest "populist smoothing tool" ever. When the skill gap is bridged, capital only recognizes one thing: cost-effectiveness. So a ridiculous scene unfolded: Silicon Valley tycoons shouted "AI will replace humans" while watching Filipino youth use AI to snatch orders from their own white-collar workers. Silicon Valley sneezes, Manila counts money. Tech giants thought they had sparked a productivity revolution, but the first thing they achieved was the efficient redistribution of white-collar jobs worldwide. This is the most heart wrenching truth: your position may not be replaced by AI, but it is very likely to be replaced by an offshore worker who takes a fraction of your salary and plays with AI sneakily. When the times abandoned you, they didn't even shout, but when capital embraced Filipino workers, they easily subscribed to ChatGPT premium membership. After all, who can withstand this investment return rate? This world is just a grass platform team! The era of AI has arrived! A movement of AI revolution has quietly arrived! AI may not necessarily eliminate those who understand AI tools and applications, but it will definitely eliminate those who do not understand AI tools and applications. What do you think? Are you also familiar with AI tools and applications? Hurry up and learn and apply it.
