    Why do we need an orphanage in the first place? Is the Orphan Crushing Machine not working?

        This made me realize that it would be really hard to distinguish between a satirical NDT quote and something I have earnestly and profoundly thought to myself while 2 edibles into a nature documentary. And I’m not sure how to feel about that.

      No, he didn’t. Please, for your sake and ours, learn to search for facts yourself instead of asking strangers on the internet to do it for you.

        It’s also easier to search for something someone did say, than to search for something they did not say.

          Well, given that it was posted in Memes, and after what he said the other day, it’s pretty easy to determine that it is parody. However, I do sympathize, as we are living in an age where most headlines appear to have come out of The Onion a mere decade ago, but are in fact the reality we face today.

            Right. My question probably should have been “is this based on something he actually said or just a weird joke that I wouldn’t get?”

    it’s great that one of the main dicks in charge of AI uses pants-on-head stupid not-logic to justify taking water away from literally everything else for a thing that doesn’t work, but still steals jobs

      If it’s stealing real jobs, perhaps it is time you should reconsider the ‘doesn’t work’ perspective.

        just because companies are trying to replace humans with AI doesn’t mean AI is “working”

        i would say i hope this all underscores how little employers ever actually gave a shit about their employees, but that would be wishful thinking. not only are they not capable of giving less of a shit about you, but they’re also gullible enough to jump on this AI bandwagon that they grasp no understanding of beyond what they’re told by the people con men selling it to them

        It appears to be working, to execs and CEOs. But this will eventually be a problem when you are missing skilled workers who can handle things AI cannot.

      If we restructured society in a way that makes increases in efficiency benefit everyone I’d be fine with such things. The difference here is, however, that we don’t live in such a society and that LLMs aren’t actually useful or better at work that people are, it’s just that managers and CEOs think they are. They will realize this in a few years after most of their software is fucked over and they’ll have to hire actual developers to fix it.

        The problem is we want increases in efficiency that benefit 99% of people but the 1% want the opposite and can override everyone else.

        Taylorist production has been tried, yielded objectively better results than the old production methods, and they were still scrapped. Workers wouldn’t adapt to more efficient production methods without more pay, and it necessitates worker-managers to train other workers. Since the owners of the factory refuse to pay workers more, so it’s DOA.

        Capitalism isn’t rational, and can not become rational. “Increasing efficiency” means firing workers, not improving production. I know you maybe aren’t arguing for more efficient capitalism, just saying it has been tried. Taylorism is the Esperanto of production. “Increasing efficiency,” to the capitalists, means firing people, not making the system more rational.

          It wasn’t my goal at all to advocate for capitalism, an inherently abusive system :P

          Increases in efficiency should lead to less work required and a better life for everyone

            I had a suspicion you weren’t advocating for capitalism. But just in case someone comes along and thinks “yeah make capitalism more efficient,” I like to underline the fact that “efficiency” has a different meaning if someone is a worker than if someone is a capitalist.

    Stupid orphans hogging all of that water, they should bring a lawsuit against them for endangering the supply needed for ai in having their place get on fire. It won’t win but they can’t pay for lawyers to defend it and they will go our of solvency and have to be dissoluted.

    Now why do the courts let the rich file cases that have no merit to force people that haven’t done wrong to pay millions of dollars indefinitely to defend themselves from bad faith allegations by shitty abusive rich people? Because fuck you, that’s why. Any more questions? /s
