"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.

"Jobs" are not a finite resource. That's just the broken window fallacy with a dash of bigotry.
Or from a macro-economic view, since immigrants are also consumers, studies typically show that immigrants increase aggregate demand for jobs more than they increase aggregate supply.
Do the jobs that are taken by immigrants create jobs in the same field that the person who lost the job can be employed in? Because it creating a job in some other unrelated field doesn't really help the original person. Nor does the line for someone going up necessarily.
It's important here to clarify, what do you mean by immigrant? Like do H1B status people who live in the country count? Because I can kind of understand you if that's what you're talking about.
If your're talking about migrant people who get desperately exploited then honestly fuck off.
I don't know what H1B is. I'm just talking about people moving to another country in general
