"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

China: Firing employees and replacing them with AI is illegal (www.msn.com)

Tl;dr summary: Company lowered the wage of an employee after reassigning him to do lesser work as AI took over parts of his job, employee refuses to accept this, company fires him, court rules this was against the law from the moment the wage was lowered

Yes, it's China. Yes, China has a lot of issues. Yes, companies will try their best to find other ways to get rid of employees. But this still is finally a W in regards to AI BS.

Tell me you know nothing of what's going on in China without using those words.

“Please wait for the next five year plan where we make rapid AI integration a priority.”

What the State of China is thinking

Nailed it, Sparky!

Rapid AI integration as a priority is currently on-going. The key word there it "integration", not "replacement". Hence the court decision above.

Make no mistake, the Chinese are putting AI (in various forms, not just degenerative AI) into all kinds of places. The difference between them and the west is that they're working primarily (albeit, being humans, imperfectly) on engineering principals, with projects having failure conditions, limited space/time-controlled trials, and projects failing to reach their markers getting cancelled.

In contrast to the western model of "throw AI at everything and hope something, somewhere, sticks so we can get another round of VC funding".
