In a fair world, we would be celebrating our machine labor achievement and enjoy our free time. Instead we have capitalism and virtual luddites shouting to protect menial labor.
The luddites didn’t hate machines because they loved manual labor…
They wanted to ensure that mechanization benefited the workers via less hours and increased wages rather than the same wages and less jobs to go around.
Destroying mechanization was just an accomplishable goal in that fight.
What you’re doing is falling for propaganda from a long ass time ago by the owner class…

Or using the actual current definition of the word. It’s like going on a rant about hunters when you get called a nimrod.
I’m also going to push back on pretending the current anti-ai movement is against capitalism when it’s pro copyright. Their support is what big AI companies are using to create their monopoly.
This centuries luddites aren’t tearing down machinery but helping build a walled garden.
If we’re lucky. It’s more likely to be lower wages. “We don’t need to pay experienced programmers anymore, they aren’t writing the code after all. We just need cheaper, less skilled people to review the code that is already 99% fine”.
💯 Not about the tech, it’s about who is going to use the tech to make life worse for the working class.
It’ll go the other way, eventually. Keep the experienced people who are willing to use AI and can handle the more complicated things AI can’t.
But for now they’re just firing people and hoping things still work later. Since research and development both have delayed results, they can celebrate their win immediately and not pay the consequences til later.
i guess?? but where does the energy and human labor come from in this “fair world”?? coal and wages?
automated luxury space communism is not upon us, we are only a few hundred years from the advent of industrialisation.
we are at the point were social democracies are barely functioning and fascism is still on the rise due to small time dilemmas and culture war. the working class has not been made conscious, and probably wont be for another couple decades.
“ai” is just another corporate invention to steal and resell working class labor for the rich, the “fair world” you ask for was appropriated in the 50s for western exceptionalism and neo colonialism.
edit for; this is a terrible description and barely touches the real world. i hope ypu understand what this drunk man is trying to say

Trying to guess others’ motivations is a good way to show your own biases.
I hate the copyright lobby, I just hate AI grifters even more.

The parrels between the mechanical loom for them and AI for us really seem like they should be obvious…
But it’s crazy on Labor Day weekend people are shit talking the luddites
And what will you drink with that? And what will you drink with that?
