What's not to love about a flawed and unreliable technology that aims to kill jobs?
Same thing can be said about other versions of early tech; internet services were horribly unreliable and out to kill travel agent and others jobs
Oh right I am sorry... forgot this is HN... you meant to express concern about your job replacing
My bad
You forgot - it also aims to consume lots of power and water and hardware to keep it from others. Privatize the profits, socialize the costs.
… while concentrating immensely more wealth and power in the hands of a few weird and depraved people.
and people! (autonomous drones)
2025 AI CEOs: "AI is gonna wipe your puny little job off the map and you better adapt or die, bitch."
2026: "OwO I'm just a wittle guy, why does everyone hate me? Trump come save us from the open models"
“We’re going to eliminate half of white collar jobs” is a pretty terrible sales pitch.
Sure, it gets investors all hot and bothered but for some odd reason, the average person isn’t quite as excited by the same pitch.
