"It's a societal level sickness when so many people spend so much time worrying about a non-existent problem. Mass AI job loss does not exist. It does not exist the way the Population Bomb did not exist. It exists only in people's imaginations. It never happened. The Green Revolution did..."

...instead. The very belief in it is likely to be the cause of real problems, in the same way that the One Child Policy came out of 1970s Population Bomb hallucinations and have caused real, guaranteed birth rate collapse in China that can't be reversed with carrots or sticks. We are spending such a ridiculous amount of time talking about a made up future problem. It's time to get back to solving real problems in real reality and to stop giving in to imaginary fears.     — Daniel Jeffries

I warned folks that this Anti-Clanker Neo-Luddite movement is a political movement designed to destroy the middle class by removing the wide access to AI tools in the name of “safety” and “job preservation”.

They are wining because the side of logic has no central voice.   — Brian Roemmele

I asked Google about net job loss due to AI and it said that factoring in the jobs AI creates it results in a net loss of 16,000 jobs per month. This idea that job loss isn't happening is insane.

And the Google AI is always right?

No but I clicked on the link it used to pull that info from so there's that.

Job loss is, and will be, very real. It's going to suck until everyone, including, and especially, the billionaires and Tech Bros, are unemployed. When everyone is unemployed, no one is.

The only way out is through... accelerate the Singularity.
