    And I predicted that Bill Gates is a sack of shit.

    I was right, he was wrong

    So far it has led to many people being laid off. Meanwhile Greece just pushed for 6 day working weeks with 13 hour work days, was it?

    So umm does that mean AI will take your coffee order and make the drink and cash you out? I didn’t think so. Manual labor will still be needed 24/7, but now their bosses are AI bots that don’t know human connection; oh wait my human bosses never had that ability either. Who the fuck allowed companies the privilege to post new schedules literally the week of or call you in on your days off. We need serious unions and not AI

      The coffee analogy is probably not a good one. The generations that grow up with enshittified tech bullshit are complete shutins. They’ll be happy enough with a machine making their coffee. AI isn’t even necessarily involved here.

      But people still have to build these machines. They have to maintain them. Someone has to grow, harvest, wash and roast the beans. Some of that can probably be done by machines, but not all of it.

      The thing is, even if AI replaces everyone, there’ll be no more consumers able to buy things anymore. There literally won’t be an economy anymore. I fail to see how that helps capitalists. What is the plan here? Billionaires are a bunch of fucking weirdos, all of them.

    Hundreds of years ago we toiled in fields for 8+hrs to feed the family and keep a roof over our heads… since then, with all the technology and advancements to make our lives easier, we still work 8+hrs a day to feed the family and keep a roof over our heads… I doubt his claims

      Yes, but you see, we now have billionaires, and soon trillionaires, while we still have to work 8+hrs a day to feed the family and keep a roof over our heads. So… progress.

      With all this extra work, we are not only bleeding ourselves dry but also destroying our environment just to increase stock prices

    About half the time we try to use AI for precise work at my job we end up with hallucinations, completely skipped areas of configs, and low quality bullshit. We’d do much better hiring minimum wage interns to write the stuff. AI is not about to replace anything but commodity work that society thinks has a high tolerance for error and bad decisions, like customer support, teaching, policing, management, or health care. What it should replace is our effing politicians.
