Fuck AI

"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.

this is how guilds were in the pre-industrial days (not labor unions, trade guilds, much worse, no solidarity). your dad would pay like a dowry to a master and you'd become their apprentice.

I like how we are ignoring the other solutions and we just go straight to "they will pay to work".

They pretend to pay us, we pretend to work!

This person is not unique and just another example of the tech-bro sycophants.

They think they represent an advanced level or "new generation" of productivity, but are in fact the Uncle Tom's of the tech industry.

Fast learners, remember everything, and only teach something once.

Haha not for the gen growing up with AI. It's quite the opposite.

If a Democrat said something that stupid, MAGA would be blowing it up as if it were the official opinion of the DNC and Every democratic candidate.

So that's what the Dems should do here. Amplify this post widely, and claim that it the new MAGA policy - all entry level workers have to PAY to work, until your company deems you valuable enough to convert you to an unpaid position.

Congratulations! It's like getting a scholarship. Only took six years before you are now eligible to hold a paying position, except there aren't any, any we have to make room for new paying recruits, so you're no longer required. Now you can take your valuable experience to some other company, but they won't hire you because they've got their own pipeline to choose from.

Sociopathic Oligarchs are going to LOVE the concept of the workers paying THEM. Dems need to tell the world that THIS is the future MAGA employment environment, and make them deny it.

Don't worry, you might. Only those with wealthy parents will get jobs.

The uni I went to charged a tuition fee for placement year. They did however enforce that placement was only approved placement if it was paid. There was an exception for starting your own company or working for some startups but this was a case by case basis and not many people took this up.

The only error in this is that it’s already happening. This year’s graduates are struggling like never before to secure short term internships necessary for their education. In my uni, we used to have a long list of potential internship placements, but they all said “AI can do better than an intern”… only other universities are accepting students as an informal exchange program
