"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.

It doesn’t need to stay that way. International labor movements have been attempted more than 100 years ago already and more than once. At a time where there was no instant cheap worldwide communication and cheap machine translation.
You can already run a decently sized LLM on a computer in your own home. 3D printers are affordable. Mass produced electronics and other parts are cheap. More automation makes things even cheaper. Normal people could soon (10 years) own an intelligent robot of their own. First buy one for the price of a car, later being able to build one yourself from easily available parts and free software.
Look at how the Ukraine war used DIY techniques to develop and build drones as effective weapons of war. Something similar will repeat itself.
Capitalism might no longer need humans for labor. It will still need humans as customers and a market.
