"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.

Capitalism takes tools that help productivity and uses them in a way that makes people work longer hours.

There has been an hour reduction movement when capitalism was already well rooted. In France, we went down to 35h/week +- more paid leaves. Even in a conservative country like Japan, many companies moved to 7h45 workdays.
What changed is the weakening of capitalism regulation, especially in countries like the USA and even (supposedly) communist China: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/996_working_hour_system.
