  • This post is based on a false premise. These people aren’t unemployable, they’re being actively rejected so that the available labor pool remains sizeable and desperate. The automation hype is just that, hype. Just like the gig economy, it’s merely a way to devalue labor and exploit it while selling the idea as innovation. Some evidence: if automation was really going to make so many people unemployable, then why is the news freaking out over the declining birth rate? Surely if automation is going to take over so much work, we wouldn’t have to worry about who will take care of the elderly.




  • Prove to me that this isn’t exactly how the human mind – i.e., “real intelligence” – works.

    For one, AI as it currently exists doesn’t learn. The AI has to be trained with its weights adjusted in order to actually update its way of thinking. For another, memory is nothing more than prepending your prompt history to your next prompt, there is no actual mechanism of memory, just this hack.
