    I don’t understand your argument.

    I’m in no way convinced that this will lead to new cool jobs, and I have never heard anyone suggest how that could happen. In all honesty, I’d hate to lose my job as a dev and suddenly the only option in my industry is now “debugging AI mistakes.”

    If you want to create cool new jobs, how about doing it without disregard for the people you’re hurting? That’s entirely possible, but the current system doesn’t care about people, it cares about money.

    If we saw the potential in these tools, and decided as a society to just let the machines do all the stuff we don’t want to do, and we all got to do whatever meaningful beautiful things our hearts wanted, then sure. But that isn’t happening. The system isn’t broken so it won’t fix itself.

    “Maybe something good will come of all this pain” is a bad philosophy, imo.

      But like, it will happen anyways. You can’t stop Musk from shoving Grok down everyone’s throats and firing 80% of his work force to replace them with AI drones.

      If we saw the potential in these tools, and decided as a society to just let the machines do all the stuff we don’t want to do, and we all got to do whatever meaningful beautiful things our hearts wanted, then sure.

      Yes, literally this, my argument is literally we use all our efforts to fight for this, as making something beautiful out of a shit situation is literally all life has and I feel always will be.

        Yep, then we have nothing to argue about. I’m an idealist, I’m just angry about the way these things are going instead of accepting them.
