The very fact that unemployment is an issue, is a clear indicator that our system is psychopathic.

Unemployment is quite literally the result of all work being done, in any rational civilization that would be a good thing.

Yeah. So much shit is not done because "people would loose their jobs". That's a separate issue that should be solved separately.

We are only five years into this general AI shit, right now managers are making stupid decisions due to false promises by AI CEOs.

General AI isn't used as a tool for workers, it is used as a replacement for workers.


After the inevitable AI crash, general AI will hopefully find the place it should occupy, namely a dynamic manual, not a slop generator.

As a manual it's pretty nice.... Was experimenting with a new programming package that preloaded its documentation and examples into chatgpt. With that information at the top of the training, it synthesized nicely.

Only had two questions, but it's enough to not bother the developer directly.

We need UBI…. Not just unemployment.

And no taxes on income. Let the rich pay that. The wealth gap is so insanely large
