  • I dont disagree, but youre missing the point. There arent much carriage driver jobs since the arrival of the automobile. There are a lot more jobs related to driving, though. Thats the point. Technology always makes jobs obsolete but creates more to replace.

    What is the problem with ai is multiple. Environmental is a huge concern. The poor perfirmance in many areas is another. The job loses are awful fornthose that lose their jobs and short term are bad for society. Long term, society SHOULD benefit from AI. However, the tech workd is doing everything they can to make sure the spoils dont go to society, but directly to them. Ita why they are investing so much. They want to be first, directing the direction and process and monetisation.

    What we need to do as society, is ensire that the spoils go society. That the producrivity imorovemebts lead to better lives, not just bigger profits for the few. Thats wjy chinese open models are so interesting. Its also why im concerned about ram and video cards. If the means of computing are removed from us, ot will be hard to ger back. Already for many people, facebook and google is the internet. Many peoplw on here degoogle. Its really hard. And about to get harder.

    Jobs will absolutely be lost to ai, but my point is more jobs shoukd be created given the experience of every adcancenent in history. The wuestiin is did we need mire jobs when before ai layoffs and trumps poor policies, much of the world was approaching full employment.







  • Its not a dichotomy. Its a spectrum. Meta, palantir they are at the bad end.

    Nobody working at facebook has any illusions that they work at a company that helps people make connections and express themselves online. They know its a manipulation machine that oversteps its boundaries, constantly, hoovering up their data. They are also well paid, so its not bread line or facebook. Its a choice.

    Many are starting to wake up, but the damage is done. So, its also perfectly reasonable for anyone to not feel sorry for them, if their choice to screw over the world ended up being less beneficial to them than they hoped. That doesnt mean they deserve vitriol or they had it coming.




  • Yep, so they fill it with memes and cojtent that isnfrom groups or creators that you dint follow. All in the hope that there is enough content that you dint notice the lack of content from friends and family.

    Community groups are where there is engagement now. Sometimes with people you may have a loose connecrion with in real life but often its strangers. Or bots.
