    I’m rather enjoying my electricity, my antibiotics, my vaccines against respiratory viruses, my access to unlimited information and pornography, My ability to drive cars that are pretty reliable, my ability to travel anywhere in the world at any time at doable prices, technology has treated us pretty well.

      Yeah the real problem with AI is its still in its infancy and CEOs are firing people over it. Thats not a good look.

        You are getting at the actual nature of the problem, unlike silly OP.

        The problem isn’t AI itself. It’s that capitalists are going to use it as a tool to pay the rest of us even less with.

        Though the correct answer is NOT the luddite, “let’s hate the tech”. The correct answer is: Let’s regulate the greedy f*cks who will use it to screw us over.

          If only we could create a society that was not at the whims of the ultrawealthy. Unfortunately, many will pin the blame on the technology instead of those siccing it on their jobs. AI just is, LLMs do nothing on their own. If you lost your job to AI, a human made that decision as of right now.

          Down with all kings but King Lud!

          But for real opposition not to technology existing but to the effects it will have on society, especially skilled workers, and to the nature of who will benefit from that trade is the closest stance to the Luddites. They were skilled laborers who had a problem with being replaced by machines and unskilled laborers all for massive profits.

            The Luddites did indeed identify the problem of them bejng cheaply replaced, but then they fought against it in the worst of ways. Trying to ban the use or literally destroying things is pure stupidity.

            For AI specifically, things like making sure LLM and other linear algerbra style “AI” creations cannot be copyrighted will do a whole lot more to ensure AI won’t be completely exploited. The tools WILL be used. Make sure they cannot be used as a replacement for making money.

      I agree. I think tech progression has been mostly beneficial, but I could do without DRM and centralized social media.

        You are on lemmy most likely posting it on a Linux device using Firefox.

        I am not sure what to say except people continue to make the decision that they would like a bit of convenience and pay for it with money or data vs free as in free bear and deal with the lack of support.
