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

@MattBinder so the analogy wasn't examined? quelle surprise
"modern work" aka this person's idea of it which involves no physical exertion, is distinct from "intellectual work", which requires understanding and domain knowledge (the same things physical labor benefits from)
and both require DOING THE THING to do it well?
and we need mental gyms to keep ourselves vital rather than just understanding what we're doing, in its context?
fuckin' dickhead got sold on "white collar work"

@MattBinder I have one. Video games that have puzzles to solve.
@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 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?

@aedancullen @MattBinder If I could do any meaningful work with my hands - I'd drop the computer and change immediately.
I envy those people. -
