Yeah. No one is arguing against tools that'd give us more free time, that'd help cure diseases, and make the world a better place. What we're getting is mass-surveillance, economic instability, larger social rifts, and environmental destruction.
No one who hasn't been deceived by fascist capitalist propaganda will be for these things.
This is just more AI cooker stuff from a billionaire octagonarian.
Who is so disconnected from reality he doesn't know the cost of groceries.

Companies face backlash for slop, and you’re here all “it’s what the people want!” Get real.
History is written by the victors, and the luddites lost. That's why they're maligned as backwards idiots who didn't want tech to succeed.
They weren't stupid. They knew precisely what was going to happen, and did their best to stop it. Generally they took care to target only machines as their goal wasn't to harm people but to remain employed, and have money to survive with. Naturally there were exceptions, and sometimes people did get hurt.
But then, the bourgeoisie enacted law to prevent this where destroying mechanical looms became punishable by... oh let's see...
The act, as passed, made the destruction of mechanised looms [...] a capital felony (and hence a crime punishable by death).
Right! Death! Destruction of company property became punishable by death.
And people did die. Children died. Mind you, back then workers were anyone capable of working, and they had no rights. They didn't vote for the people who passed this act; workers weren't supposed to have a voice, and so the only recourse was rebellion.
This didn't stop things immediately, there's quite a lot of really cool worker history here, but eventually the government sent in the military and couple that with nothing really changing despite widespread rebellion, the luddite movement fizzled out.
I have daily voice calls, usually several times a day.
Seems like my country has mostly moved back to offices now though and finding remote contracts is tough. Man I miss the pandemic. Not the death and suffering, just the compassion some people showed others. Sure there was a lot of people who just lost their minds entirely, but I feel like the overall sense of community was better back then.
It's sad and ugly. Dinosaurs are fuckin' awesome, and these cunts are doing a shit job at appropriating them.
Hardly surprising that slop bros have no taste. I'm not an artist and it's not exactly difficult to point out the flaws with that logo. Someone could've stopped it, but they didn't care enough.
I highly doubt they have the money for that, unfortunately. I believe our best bet is to press politicians into action.
Yeah. I mean I enjoy Paradise Lost.
Given that the author is a Kirill Yeskov, I think it's safe to say that it's fanfic, yes. Akin to Paradise Lost being the real story of the Bibble.
That isn't the AI tech getting pumped with money. We've done folding at home for decades, for example. Has venture capital backed that? No. So sit down and read what I said again.
