  • I would argue that in their pursuit of worker rights they sought to prevent progress rather than supporting using the means of progress to lighten their own workload and then fight to receive the benefit that such machinery could provide.

    I’m for worker rights as well, but I don’t think that means we should go back to the dark ages for production.

    I just think that the bosses shouldn’t get all the money from the robot savings, while everyone else works their asses off for no additional benefit.

    Sort of like how I can use a dumb “AI” music tool thing to share jokes with friends and dumb meme posts, but at the same time also think that Columbia records or whatever music corp or Ticketmaster should NOT be able to gouge the prices for concerts and then on top of that, not pass the increased profit to the actual artists.









  • Because “AI” isn’t actually “artificial intelligence.” It’s the marketing term that seems to have been adapted by every corporation to describe “LLMs…” which are more like extra fancy power guzzling parrots.

    Its why the best cases for them are mimicking things brainlessly, like voice cloning for celebrity impressions… but that doesn’t mean it can act or comprehend emotion, or know how many fingers a hand should have and why they constantly hallucinate contextless bullshit… because just like a parrot doesn’t actually know any meaning of what it is saying when it goes “POLLY WANT A CRACKER…” it just knows the tall thing will give it a treat if it makes this specific squawk with its beak.
