  • Society can exist without jobs, not everything has to be capital, in fact reaching a post scarcity world is needed for communism.

    AI hype is also overblown as fuck, I remember watching the CGP grey video Humans Need not Apply, like what, 8 years ago? Haven’t really achieved some epic breakthrough did we?

    For me from a software engineers perspective, “AI” is nothing but a productivity tool, it reduces the amount of mundane work I have to do, but then so does the IDE I use.

    as humans we have been automatic tasks for a long time, just think about your washing machine, you have any idea how hard it would be to have clean clothes without them? Do you think we would be better off if we needed cleaning services that clean our clothes for us using human labour just so people have jobs? Or is it better to use that effort elsewhere?

    that’s retarded, I also haven’t used it, until now.

    “retarded” is also not a medical term, mental retardation and the like are medical terms, retard has a specific meaning, for example if your arm stops developing at a young age, then you have a retarded arm, it has also been used as a slur for the longest time, stop trying to police words because it might hurt someone’s feelings.
