The point is not to replace your job with an AI.
The point is to make you afraid of losing your job so you accept worse working conditions.
This is "job terrorism".
La vraie peur n'est pas de perdre le boulot, c'est de perdre le revenu qui y est associé. Et peut-être le pouvoir de consommation qui y est lié.
@ploum Can we give corporations the death penalty for this? After all, in the US they are people
@Pepperbike @ploum Deny (life saving) medical claims of thousands is just business, killing 1 CEO is terrorism.
It's all about class you're in.
@Pepperbike @ploum Others in the 99% will make sure to manufacture enough pitchforks.
There might not be many pitchforks, but the US clearly has more than enough guns and ammo for every man, woman, and child to shoot and kill each other.
Some managers are convinced AI will do the job.
Because they don't have a clue about your job, so they are willing to replace you by monkeys on keyboards… if "somebody guarantee" the job will be done.
And if GAFAM leaders say it will do good job, it must be true.
They don't even care if it is true or not, they only need to be able to say "who could have guessed" when they destroy the company's skills.
@ploum don't kid yourself, they will replace you with AI as soon as it's cheaper to do so.
"Generative A.I." is the new "sabot".
It will be worn by all the managers who don't fully comprehend the technology or understand their business.
@gcvsa @ploum The solution is to replace those companies with cooperatives (employee owned) so that those companies collapse from lack of employees before the employees can be replaced. #cooperatives
@gcvsa @ploum Not possible because AI does not do anything useful. The ENTIRE thing it does is spit out output that's hard to stupid people to distinguish from actually doing something useful.
Unfortunately the physical world does distinguish between actually doing something useful and doing something that looks similar to stupid people, and doesn't care about the consequences.
@ploum "Come into the office to support my investments in commercial real estate or I'll find someone that will"
@ploum As has happened before with 'robots' in the place of 'AI'.
I was told flat out in manufacturing that "you HAVE to put up with it, or you'll get replaced by robots"...by a manager.
N.B. In reference to a job that can't be done by robots. (Lower wage workers elsewhere yes, but not robots.)
@ploum @nicklockwood I legit have non techie friends believe this crap will take over (self driving too). It makes me lose hair, but my stockpile of popcorn is ready for when the bubble goes
@ploum
AI is decades away from being even remotely capable of doing my job, and it's not even highly skilled. Look for those industries.
@ploum it's "whichever one turns out to work," honestly. They'd be perfectly happy for AI to succeed in replacing the human workforce. But they're also happy to do a lil' fascism and worker intimidation in the meantime / if it turns out not to be feasible.
(It isn't, particularly in the next few decades. But the people we're talking about don't have the firmest grasp on reality.)
