Yeah, like all those pre-80s regulation in the US. Nothing got done due to all those pesky, pesky regulations.
Welcome to the internet.
Really? That’s retarded.
I will never pay for premium. Yewtu.be and all the similar front end ad killers are always there when ublock Origin gets half a step behind in the never ending cat and mouse it seems to have with YT. Fuck tech companies. Fuck YouTube. Fuck Reddit. Fuck em all.
Yeah, you know, this is mostly my view on AI. Eliminate jobs! But they’re not going to ditch capitalism, so losing jobs doesn’t mean no work. It means people suffer and starve. Because businesses want us to have money, they just don’t want to pay us that money. I mean, without money, we wouldn’t buy their shit. And eliminating jobs (“costs”) means keeping more of the money for themselves. And more money for themselves means more power and sway over policy.
Can you ever foresee a future in which the world is filled with businesses hiring no one, but people still having money via UBI or however they would arrange to keep capitalism afloat through the continuous circulation of money? The more jobs they cut early, the more money they have to fight the tax increase that UBI would necessitate (in this hypothetical mostly jobless society). If we can’t secure more power in a system that actually values human life, AI and increasing automation will only lead to us, the working class, suffering and dying while the baron class keeps amassing power and money.
In short, capitalism and full automation/AI are incompatible with human life.
(I mean, capitalism is incompatible with human life. But we need a complete overhaul of the entire concept of modern life itself before we allow capitalism to go on automating. It only spells disaster for us—even though it could mean utopia. Capitalism will not let utopia exist because it’s not generating profits.)
It’s interesting that they mean “inequality between nations,” when it could very much affect inequality between the über rich and everyone else. People will start having their already underpaid jobs scaled back, there will be layoffs after layoffs to hire people in these “new fields” (who, of course, will be paid far less to be assistants to AI when it gets stuck)…inequality is going to explode—even more. Because we are already well beyond anything we’ve seen outside of the gilded age and…have we surpassed gilded age inequality yet? I’m not sure. It’s been a while since I’ve checked
You got a couch, a spare visa, and a plane ticket lying around? I’d love to visit permanently wherever you are.
Hey, that’s not fair. The war on drugs was a boon for private prisons, police budgets, military contractors selling old war machines, lawyers, pharmaceutical companies, the show COPS, inequality, and countless murderous, racist cops looking to beat up some darker skinned people. It was very effective.
Like…we’ve been warning about deepfakes for fucking YEARS. And now, in January 2024, lawmakers sound the alarm—because it’s the start of an election year?
Get fucked. Jesus fucking Christ.
