@danbrotherston @cabel Just like AI haters aren’t opposed to the environmental and financial impacts of AI; they’re simply afraid of being replaced and don’t want to learn new skills.
@howking @danbrotherston @cabel You can be on the forefront of AI adoption as a software engineer using it all day every day, reading books on your spare time and contemplating ways to improve, and still consider it a blight that has worsened all our lives and is guaranteed to make us even more alienated and confused while concentrating even more wealth in the hands of the ultra rich. This is sadly expected of us as a part of our jobs now. It's not a bubble I'm in. I genuinely hate it.

Big claim - do you have any evidence for it?
-
@Mabande @PaniczGodek @cabel I don’t think this is particularly controversial, no matter how much you twiddle the margins. If you think the majority of people are not more prosperous now, by any definition that is remotely objective— well, that is truely an extraordinary claim.
@danbrotherston @PaniczGodek @cabel That's just the thing: what counts as "prosperous" and "poor"?
If it's a longer life expectancy with better health, prosperity is strictly linked to access to (free) vaccination and health care there's been great prosperity -- although often _in spite of_ the industrial revolution.
(side note: TIL that during the industrial revolution life expectancy in England didn't increase for the poor/workers, while the elites gained about a decade or so) -
@cabel Here, too, you’re in an “AI-hater” bubble, but AI is here to stay—just as smashing machines didn’t stop the Industrial Revolution.

"AI hate is lame" - factual is the word you're looking for"I understand you, and you understand me" - nope. You most definitely did not understand this https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/116000100388648367
"Just as steam engines came first, then gasoline engines were invented, and now we drive electric cars" - all of which involve engineering, which requires correct answers to Maths, which AI is incapable of

@howking @danbrotherston @cabel The people not using AI are afraid to learn new skills? Oh, the irony...

@PaniczGodek @cabel the Industrial Revolution also lifted billions of people out poverty and into prosperity. I don’t see AI doing anything like that.
@danbrotherston @PaniczGodek @cabel If you see it from the distance of two centuries, from a society shaped by the industrial revolution it may look like that. But it seems you underestimate the massive disruption that it caused at the time.
For a lot of people the industrial revolution was catastrophic, bringing poverty, famine and early death. Trade unions, worker parties and communism were invented and revolutions staged. It took decades to fix the worst fallout of the industrial revolution.
Personally, I'd rather not have that happen in my lifetime but here we are.

"The math does not math" - well, AI doesn't know how to do Maths anyway
https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/116000100388648367@SmartmanApps @GhostOnTheHalfShell @cabel but it kind of does? i mean theres mathematicians acknowledging its generating some pretty decent proofs of previously unsolved stuff and so forth. i dont see why people are always clinging to these by now obviously false claims of inaptitude when the issues are much more standard capitalism type

@danbrotherston @howking @cabel Not only were the Luddites not against the machinery, many of them were MASTER USERS OF IT. Exactly as you said, the protest wasn't against machinery but against what it was doing to entire societies.
And it's the same fight today.

@rainynight65 @cabel Don’t think she knows what she’s saying..
The industrial revolution was about deskilling, removing power #labour used to have, and concentrating it in the hands of those who owned the machines
This is the same plan #AI industrialists have right now
It isn’t one bit worth to celebrate. No teacher worth their salt should be praising it
The #industrialrevolution plunged majorities of citizens into poverty for 4 generations before they took control back!

History is **littered** with technology that was "here to stay" and was going to "change the world". **AI ALONE** has gone through at least four cycles of this hype in my lifetime alone!
LLMbeciles, in specific, are going to die a horrible death as soon as the fiscal gloves come off and be relegated to tiny niches like all prior AI did.
But go ahead. Ignore history. I'll just grab the popcorn and watch.

@cabel I didn't think she connects the dots on what either the booing or cheering is for
