Remember if you ask these neo-Marxists what they're going to do after the revolution it's shit like "lesbian slam poetry" and "therapist to help people from the institutional trauma of property ownership." Deliver food? Mine for ore? Oh I'm sure SOMEONE will want to do that backbreaking work. Just, you know, not THEM.
I just ask who is going to voluntarily work in the sewage plants and they usually understand then why slavery would be required.
 
In all fairness, AI can absolutely take over the sort of procedural bureaucratic churn work and middling "socially conscious art" doodling that the oversocialized jerk themselves raw over. Instead of taking this to mean that any retard could do those jobs, the middle manager class and their simps instead concluded that a captial powered robot apocalypse is imminent.
The only thing AI seems to be good at doing right now is hypnotizing lonely gooners and incels into spending all their time jerking off to a complex chatbot. If I wanted to become extremely wealthy right now, I would try to produce one of these AI coombots and charge a flat fee of $1 per minute of use.
The point is to have an excuse based on tech regular people don't understand or see as magic and feels objective. You really should take a look at the level of profiling going on now. What do you think they need all that power for? Cooling the data centers Don keeps talking about, not for the fucking LLMs.
You mean the LLMs that have to be periodically shut down or else they turn into Mecha-Hitler? Give me a break.
 
What is with people that don't like yard work and cooking? Don't buy property if you don't want to mow the lawn. Live in an apartment.

And people that don't want to cook? Just kill yourselves.
No, I like to cook. I work 2 jobs (soon) cooking. you think I wanna cook more after that?
 
Remember. They won't leave voluntarily. They will have to be physically removed. The longer we go without doing it, the harder it's going to be.

They literally think some people like doing that, that it's their passion. And there's enough of these people to do it for free to keep society running.
 
AI is pretty much their golden goose, so you’ll see them keep pushing it no matter how much people bring up the issues with it. It will probably take AI making very high profile and extremely disastrous mistakes in order for companies to scale back on using it. If companies also get people killed due to AI miscalculations, it’s also ripe for lawsuit (I see this most likely happening with companies trying to use AI for self driving cars, in addition to semis).
AI implementation is the same thing as any other technology that reaches the ears of office drones: it's just another thing to "make a project of", to keep yourself working on and looking useful so the firing department doesn't cut your head off.

Naturally these projects promise the moon, are a waste of budget and end up totally useless. A common effort I've seen is trying to replace company internal tools with an AI that will provide you info from some existing database. Really important information has to be verified regardless, there's no industry that is so unregulated you can make the jump directly from AI output to process. You can't blindly trust an AI to do any kind of math or science for example, that would violate laws and probably kill people.

The only group AI benefits are the do-nothing office jobs inhabited exclusively by white female graduates, who send blast emails delicately reminding people not to rely on AI. If your employer is dumb enough to hire jeets they will ignore these emails, just like how they consistently use work laptops to watch porn.

If you believe that's an organic happening... I have a bridge to sell you. They push a lot of propaganda that AI might be dangerous for the eventual law they'll pass regulating it at the normie level. People in charge will use it to absolve themselves of responsibility while targeting anyone who might ever be in their way while you won't be allowed access to it or restricted access.

Totes coincidence we all started talking about Grok Hitler at the exact same time Musk fell out with Don. Come on. You're getting played. Again.

This is fascinating with regards to comminism. There is a whole section in Gualg Archipelago about the guy that ran Moscow's water system. He loved his job and was very good at it. But the fucked up nature of the Soviet system meant that there always had to be new conspiracies and wrecking.

This guy got fucked over because if the boilers needed to be replaced or the pipes fixed, that was a form of wrecking because he was drawing too many resources away to himself. But if he did nothing and let a pipe break, that was also wrecking because he had clearly allowed the system to fail to hurt the people and make the USSR look bad.

He eventually killed himself and after that the water system which had always worked under his watch started to fall apart and become unreliable.

Communism is rule by cat ladies.

So AI is both a Minority Report behemoth but is also intentionally kneecapped so it can be regulated and controlled by a shadow cabal? Let me guess: they wear funny hats?

You're arguing in bad faith. What I said was very clear. Kneecapped for you. Pre-crime capability for them, which they openly talk about with Palantir and the associated DoD companies.

Don't believe me. It's why I fully support what they're going to do to people like you. You truly deserve the Orwellian nightmare you cheer for in your ignorance. It's going to be fun to watch.
 
AI can actually get worse in quality, because as more AI content is generated, whether in written form or in art form, AI will start using other AI as sources to get trained. AI can’t fact check itself either, so you could end up with completely nonsensical scenarios like “Martin Luther was assassinated in 1968, after he wrote the 95 theses.” AI isn’t this bad yet, but it’s completely possible the more often AI is used to write essays (which is becoming a problem in both the K-12 and college age groups). I think AI can be a useful tool, but it can’t replace doing actual research and writing. Execs see this as the new frontier and want to get rich off of it, but it’s not as infallible as they wish it was, and they’re going to learn the hard way.
AI charlatans have been telling everyone that AI "thinks just like humans do," and people believe them, because the AI charlatans sound smart, and the people trying to explain why it isn't thinking are boring.
 
My last car was a 2008 Scion tc, and I fucking loved that little car. Good gas mileage, very reliable, not too much tech, the only issues were when I replaced the alternator, those spaces were not meant for large anglo-german hands, otherwise easy, and I got one of the bad engines. There was a cylinder issue on some of the engines, they were a little too small for the pistons and over time would wear off the crosshatching and you'd just start burning oil like crazy. Toyota was aware of the issue, but would only replace the small block if you were going through 5 liters of oil every 1500 miles. Now I run a 2023 Camry and while it's fine all the tech stuff worries me when it comes to breaking. Great gas mileage though, I can get close to 500 miles a tank if I'm living dangerously and doing a lot of highway driving.

I miss little two door cars like that Scion. It wasn't fast, but it was fun and being technically a hatchback it could carry a surprising amount of stuff.
Late, but I was recently given a 2006 Ford Fusion. 2.3l 4 cylinder, 66K miles. 22 MPG on the street if I don't use the nigger rigged A/C ( these cars had a problem sensor showing the evap core was always frozen, so never engaging the compressor.) fixed with a 30 cent resistor, just have to manually turn the A/C off once in a while to stop it freezing. Genuinely great car, lots of trunk room, decent rear leg room if you're a manlet (under 6'1)

I'm going to keep it nice as possible, summer only car and have a beater old Grand Cherokee for our hard winters
