Fuck AI

If a machine can do my job better than me, then a machine should be doing that job. That's progress. Eventually all of this mindless toil should be done by machines so that people have the ability to pursue their dreams. The actual problem is that we've built a society where people need to toil mindlessly in order to live. This could be solved with something like a Universal Basic Income, so if my job gets taken by an LLM I can go back to school and learn a new trade. Or write some books. Or go ramble around Europe as an art bum. Or whatever.

Having said that, I think that LLMs are being used to replace jobs where the machine can't do it better than a human. It saves the company money in the short term, but it's going to catch up with them in the long term. On the other hand, some people are doing jobs that don't need doing, and replacing those with an LLM doesn't change anything, because the job was bullshit to begin with.

At the end of the day, people need food, lodging, and healthcare. They don't need "jobs". We should be fighting to get people's needs met, not fighting to keep people in their shitty jobs that they hate anyway.
