the tech industry is about to invent books

@MattBinder @Edelruth I wonder what they’ll do with the tunnels with cars that seat many people when those people have nowhere to go.

@MattBinder It might be too late for the ruling class.

For lots of reasons.

If this guy thinks jobs don't require physical labour he's further gone than I thought they could be

@MattBinder but someone as psychopathic as to steal human knowledge, art, culture, paywall it, and try to sell it back to us per the minute, isnt going to create books or healthy learning environments.

"Gyms for brains" likely means working for free, training additional "AI" models with your grey matter, or being indoctrinated into greater self destructive lifestyle choices by way of dopamine-stimulating tech hamster wheels.

Reverse Centaur gone insane.

@MattBinder

Has a techbro *ever* opened a history book?

[cross@discuss.systems]

@MattBinder just wait until they reinvent libraries!

@MattBinder brb, going to buy up every copy of Brain Age for the Nintendo DS and corner the market before the bros get there

@MattBinder @fabio thank God, somebody seems to have burned all the pre-existing ones. I’m sure the tech ones will be better, if anything

[thankfulmachine@oldbytes.space]

@MattBinder are these people even conscious

[philsciprof@mastodon.online]

@MattBinder

I’m pretty sure that dude’s brain has already atrophied far beyond fixing in a brain gym

[slatsgrobnik@mastodon.social]

@MattBinder they're called libraries

How do we get dibs on the influencer culture?

@MattBinder
As a writer, I'm very much in favour of someone stuffing a bowl of eels down that guy's trousers

[benhm3@mastodon.social]

@MattBinder

We have always had them, they’re called “museums.”

@dank @MattBinder

clearly andrew needs to hit the brain gym

@screwturn @MattBinder My Trouser Is Full Of Eels: A Treatise on Cognition

[mek2600@infosec.exchange]

@hellomiakoda @MattBinder Portal and Portal 2 both suck. I asked Claude to work on them and it was done in a minute and a half. I didn't enjoy them at all.

@MattBinder guy hasn't been to a brain gym a day in his life.

@MattBinder the metaphor is broken anyway, because for it to make sense we'd have to currently have robots doing all our physical labor. I don't think the construction workers finishing the beautiful buildings across the street from me would be very happy if they were told their work was not "modern day work." (In fact, they can confidently say something that no techbro can: in 20 years their work will still be standing and people will still be admiring it.)

People building things using their hands are paid, and people doing knowledge work are paid. Everyone does the kind of work that suits them, and everyone needs to find ways outside of work to enrich themselves in the other ways.

So it just goes back again to the fact that the AI-elitist dream is having slaves for everything. And then yes indeed the ruling class would need to artificially exercise both their bodies and minds while they sit on their thrones otherwise doing nothing.

Have they realized it is not very fulfilling to do nothing?
