Why do we keep believing the Epstein class just because they own the major media outlets? They're lying. AI is stealing. Immigrants are good people.

"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.

The most twisted part about this is that at least immigrants create jobs as well. Just like you and me, they need housing, groceries, doctors, entertainment, and so on and so forth. The idea that an immigrant is a net negative for the job market is exactly as stupid as getting upset at people for having more children because it will have a negative effect on the job market.
Actually, Immigrants don't even take your job, it's only AI that takes your job.
Neither. Just a cover for offshoring, which is booming.
Actually Indians
If you know someone who said that, it's time to have a talk with them.
Well you see if immigrants take a job they'll feed their families. But if AI takes a job it'll make rich white guys more rich.
It sounds like a joke, but this hits the nail on its head.
Pichai and Nadela aren't even white...
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".
One of my conservative neighbors replaced his immigrant landscaper with a robot lawnmower. Is that double-dipping?
You will love the book Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber. It's basically about jobs nobody needs and why they exist
This is the best AI burn so far
Ngl I see immigrants more often start their own small businesses like family restaurants and actually increase job opportunities if allowed. And rest is doing jobs citizens do not want.

The immigrants aren’t taking our jobs. They’re doing the work “we” don’t want to do. Agriculture. Janitorial. Construction. Stuff like that.
And they’re not making computers and games more expensive.
That's corporate propaganda, don't fall for it. "We" would be more than happy to do agriculture, janitorial, construction, etc... but we need to be able to feed ourselves and our families on the income from "burger flipping".
You know, like we could do for generations.
I'm with you in the last half but have you tried being bent over all day picking strawberries? I haven't, I do things for work that most wouldn't be comfortable with, sometimes dangerous things. And I'm in my 40s.
Fuck being bent over like that for any amount of time - no way
Immigrants do jobs that we wont do, and the jobs we do, Its business owners taking our jobs, and giving it to desperate immigrants, who they pay under minimum wage with the implied threat of calling authorities if they complain.
and when authorities do show up, they only arrest the immigrants.. for some reason, they never arrest the cunt that was exploiting them.
Because immigrant labor does more than field work. they bring in tons of skilled immigrant labor under visas to do white collar jobs too, and they are abused and exploited all the same.

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.
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.
Tell that to the Europeans
This stereotype feels less true every year. I work in a very large office in a large city and ~half of my white-collar co-workers are either immigrants or 1st generation naturalized Americans. According to hiring managers, it’s just representative of the applicant pool.
I know America has historically exploited immigrants for agricultural work (and still does), but there’s also a huge population of white-collar immigrants from all over the world.
Those aren't the immigrants they're trying to deport though. Racism is the main component and taking the jobs is just a pretext.

Skin tone obviously.
This can be read in two different ways. It's pretty clear, I hope, it's the good way (that you say that's the reason for them, not that it's the obvious reason that you agree with). And the reply with Data too, wouldn't be surprised if these replies were on a right wing community. Imagine if you were just saying what you think and everyone was upvoting you because they read it as "this is the reason for them".
He is peak sexy and fully functional.
No, money goes to the top and not the workers
Immigrants "take" blue collar jobs, AI takes white collar ones
The problem is not that you lose that theoretical job, it's that they have one. Mind you, it's also a problem if they don't have one. In this socio-theoretical framework anything immigrants do or not do is a problem.
Companies, meanwhile, are only at fault for anything if they're foreign and not multinational corporations.
Immigrants are both lazy slobs that mooch off society, AND taking all our jobs.
The enemy is both weak and strong.
