"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.

AI taking jobs is totally fine...in a post-scarcity socialist utopia.
We aren't there yet, though.
Right? I want to live in a world where politicians campaign on destroying jobs, not creating them.
Speaking of that, it's been a little while since I've heard anyone claim to be a big "job creator".
You will love the book Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber. It's basically about jobs nobody needs and why they exist
Much like unemployment, they exist precisely because of capitalism. It's inherent to the system, and that's been know since its early days, and people like Marx and Marcuse wrote plenty about it.
One of my conservative neighbors replaced his immigrant landscaper with a robot lawnmower. Is that double-dipping?
