  • They’re not trying to. They’re mostly trying to replace the need for wages and salaries.

    The fact that they’re doing it with effectively “we have wage slaves at home” leads to your point.

    AI can be a great tool. As an assistant. As a fancy search engine. And sometimes to do the most menial parts of jobs. But it doesn’t directly replace people. Even in the case of taking fast food orders, first that’s not a whole job, and second, it still needs supervision. It’s a tool.



















  • Kind of. I don’t think the Internet will ever return to the heyday of Reddit.

    Once governments and groups recognized that social media actually does move public opinion, that was the end of good, anonymous social media.

    The ways to bring some of that back aren’t great. A community where everyone’s verified is much better, but it’ll be quite different from the Reddit days where you’d have (usually real) ridiculous subject matter experts chiming in on random threads.

    You don’t get that with a small, verified population. And when you don’t have verification, well forever now have effectively psyops intending to influence you.
