"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.

An important element of economics that this ignores: if the maximal substitution of human labor with generative machine learning is achieved… who is going to fucking buy or invest in anything? Wages enable consumption. Kill wages == kill consumption == kill your profit margin. Everything ultimately rolls back to the consumer in market economics.
I get this sinking feeling that they are planning for the worst possible version of a post money world
Underclasses as feedstock for the AI farmers compost needs?
I don't think it ignores it, rather the argument is precisely that that maximal substition won't and can't happen.
