OH~ getting used to a new client, and followed up on the web. new client doesn't have avatars, but this doesn't change my conduct.

okay, so i put it one way on fedi, and i'll copy paste because i think its relevant to the discussion:

the human impact of ai pitted against inflation / sheer human oversight and lack of consideration = a very bad equation for a whole lot of people. Removal of jobs, mostly.

Customer Service Reps of all types

Programmers (not all)

Compliance People

UI/UX People

Web Developers (most)

Artists

Govt Employees (okay squee)

Almost the entire DMV

other things overlooked here.

all gone. yet they all eat...

And this will result in significant displacement and pain. But the genie cannot be put back in the bottle. Everyone must adapt.

why was it taken out, though ? we could trace back to kurzweil and other trans humanists, and similar stuff, but - what gets me, is it's hard to consider that after 60 years or so of warnings, it's not that nobody saw it coming, it's that hundreds of thousands of people working at huge tech companies, actually thought this was a good idea somehow.
