"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.

For the " AI is jUsT a ToOl" folks, yeah, a tool for the owners to keep workers destitute and miserable and compliant.
That IS all tools! It's why the Luddites smashed looms in textile factories. It's why Marx said the workers need to own the means of production.
AI is a tool and it wouldn't be a problem if workers owned the ai tools instead of capitalists.
The working class won't revolt if you lean juuuust far enough where they're complacent. Amazon I think has a system like this on pushing a person just before they would actually leave.
the working class isn't going to revolt bc they're too busy getting stupid watching TikTok and some are too poor to worry about this BS they're just trying to put food on the table
A CEO once said to me "there wouldn't be layoffs across the industry if the tools didn't work"
I said "the people doing the layoffs aren't the ones using the tools. They have no idea if they work, they are just justifying layoffs"
I don't think I changed his mind but he certainly didn't have a rebuttal
