    The techbros want to abolish labor as thoroughly as possible, full stop.

    Replacing scores, if not hundreds, of jobs for one computer toucher churning out utter fucking slop is therefore a good thing for techbros.

      And the worst part is they’re gonna be allowed to try to replace people.

      No matter how many times medical scientists will explain how sample analysis can’t be automated away, or artists point out how their process is more than just mushing together predigested art, or (in one particularly ghoulish example I saw) suicide hotlines can’t be replaced with chatbots.

      The capitalist class is gonna jam generative AIs into places they don’t belong in their manic pursuit of free market efficiency and it’s gonna make everything worse and less convenient.

        It isn’t just ruling class assholes believing this, either.

        One of the worst computer toucher takes I’ve ever had to read here was someone saying that computer programming and specifically software engineering could, should, and very soon would replace the entirety of psychology and psychiatry because wildly waving hands dae le human brain is meat computer dae le problems in human brain are programming errors. jagoff
