    Good read. I really like the bit about “AI is not just a tool”, but a machine, and each new generation of machinery has brought unemployment. I didn’t think of it like that.

      The issue is that this argument literally goes all the way back to the technology of looms, or building a pile of food.

      The problem with all technology is in the system it is being built within, and who that benefits and how.

      When the richest few get to make that choice, we always seem to end up in the same situations. The richest few also are good at fucking with every attempt being made to build a system that doesn’t fuck us all.

    They support the fascist administration of the USA

    Well OK fascism is a strong word,

    No it isn’t. Why say this? What’s the purpose of cleaning your hands of this objectively true statement? I take issue with your motivations.


    Unrelated but holy fuck I need quirky low-impact website designers to realize that text-align:center does NOT in fact burn the rainforest or cause congestion on the internet highways or whatever. text-align:center IS vegan.

    I think the people downvoting may be judging it on the title alone. This is not a pro-AI article.

      I really wish the culture on lemmy would evolve to include a short summary of the content and a reason for sharing a link instead of just posting a link without context.

      Or they’re downvoting because it’s just a long rant with dozens of uncited, speculative claims. It’s not really a good fit for the community.
