A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

The core problem is private ownership of something that is/hopes to be everywhere.
Like with industrial revolution, or later automation of manufacturing with industrial robots - the workers labor built up the capital that could buy & own the robots, which now gets more financial gain. Yet the workers gained nothing from this - they only get to buy the same products at still lucrative margins.
Witch means the end product was that workers still need to work peak hours to survive, not less hours to work on their own projects, participate in society, advance it, etc.
Additionally with AI is that wealth and tech concentration is very high & the resulting end-game (where everyone will be basically forced to use AI for daily necessities, like stores, banking, etc) even worse.
There is nothing wrong with the tech itself, it absolutely has it's uses.
Foss & pubic infrastructure is the way.
Random thought/association:
Not to promote or anything (it's a normal, watchable cartoon), but I'm still surprised to see that Fox is airing a show where the base premise is that a bunch of workers (from a hotdog factory) get replaced with "AI robots" and in return get a basic income from the factory each month, and they just enjoy life.
