Pretty sure it was claimed that using "AI" would mean people would need to work less. So they aren't practicing what they preach, and in fact the opposite.

- 9rx 9mo agoAs I recall it, the claim was that people would become less valuable, not that they would necessarily work less. The goal is to reduce the cost of hiring, not to give people freedom.

- __lain__ 9mo agoWe will work more and more, endlessly, until we render ourselves useless through our own efforts. That is the quest.

- RupertSalt 9mo agoThe value proposition for automation and industrialization is always along the lines that, as unskilled workers lose jobs and are displaced by machinery, more jobs will be created for skilled workers to design, supervise, and maintain that machinery. So if you install kiosks at McDonald's and 3 cashiers lose their jobs, you've created 9 jobs in the R&D and maintenance industries for techies to manufacture and support those kiosks. Win/win, right?
- cudgy 9mo ago3 cashiers per location and 9 developers per company is not a win/win for the 1,000s of cashiers replaced by the 9 developers.
