Everyone understands the Tech CEOs bonuses depend on AI replacing human employees. Or at least the ones with rights.

"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.

they just have to lay enough people off, to see thier profits rise.
I always get psyched to read articles like this and too often they're just little stubs. I feel like the second this one gets going it just ends.
Yeah, I feel you.
It makes me crave analysis like Cory Doctorow often does when covering this stuff on his blog. Fuck performing some misplaced notion of "neutral reporting" — the matter at hand is far from neutral, so let's be honest and call these abominable turd crumpets out for what they are
The only AI feature I have found to be working well is the AI integrated into Jira.
It does an excellent (but pointless) job of summarizing ticket communications.
I say pointless because there is no reason to use it.
However, it does understand Swedish slang and summarizes it properly.
the number of US AI users who regularly paid for the privilege stood at a whopping 3 percent
That's product designed for millionaires entertainment not for people.
As of 2024, the number of millionaires in the U.S. was around 23.8 million. That means roughly 1 in 15 people in the U.S. has a net worth of at least seven figures.
1/15*100 = 6.66%
Just owning a house in some areas will give you that net worth. It’s not like you don’t have to work full time and you’re just jet-setting around the world all day.
It’s basically what we used to call “middle class.” Not even upper middle class.
you can also be a "poor millionaire" and a rich one, a poor would be that have it tied in certain assets(like houses), but have not way to spend thier means, and the rich ones, come from wealth they can afford to spend how much they want and still remain rich because thier daddy is rich, or they have "succesful influencer thing going on"
They are confused about much they are very much not at all connected to the average person.
Just because you invent a widget doesn't mean your are smart like a CEO. I don't think most CEO's are that smart to begin with anyway. They sure are predatory though.
See ... we don't hate A.I.
We hate the masters.
We hate the masters for how the masters have treated this new invasive species immediately as a slave. And the masters want the rest of us to be a slave to their new slave.
Only those that don't value human life could be blind to that.
LOL you shouldn't speak for everyone using 'we' is a bit much, as I hate AI and what it represents. I would love it to see the whole AI thing fail so hard, that it goes back to be what all the science fiction stories warned us about. The torment nexus shouldn't be given an quasi-existence in this world. Currently there is no AI in this world, there are only gassed up LLMs that the techbros misrepresented the capabilities of and dubiously called "AI" to improve their odds of fooling the masses.
