"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.

partially false, they're working under conditions we technically have employment laws against. longer hours, no recourse against management, etc. it helps suppress wages across the board. This include higher paying jobs like software development, nursing, doctors, etc.
So the issue isn't the immigrants, but the ones exploiting them for cheap labour?
Ding ding ding. It's the same people that push AI. That's why the messaging is conflicting, to answer the original post question.
I was more just making a statement, I should probably not have framed it as a question. This is not something that is news to me personally.
This, there's no job "we" don't want to do, they are just typically not paid fairly because the employers have access to desperate immigrants.
