The sheer, naked arrogance of these execs, man They're so used to all of their sycophants around them clapping like seals at everything they say, they can't even begin to understand why other people wouldn't like what they're pushing We can't be rid of them soon enough

Somehow one of the most fascinating aspects of LLMs is that they were able to basically both reveal corporate capitalism as primarily being about virtualized feudalism, and also casually ruin the entire world, just by their ability to generate decently grammatically correct English. Why is it that all of these bigheaded corpo type people react to "anti-AI" sentiments with this strongman crap? Are they surprised that people, especially young people who are going to head into the world to try to make their way, are NOT supportive of the idea they'll just be eternal slaves, or even unemployed nuisances, to feudal lords? The whole fucking point of this system is for it to support people. "They" need to remember that or they're going to be reminded of it. Capitalism was cool as an evolutionary step but it's pretty fucking clear we're going to need another innovation here sometime soon.

We've seen this before. google ceo also met with boos about AI at a commencement. It's simple: AI threatens jobs/careers and paychecks. And, we've built an entire society that requires you to have a paycheck just to live. So, of course people are going to boo AI.

It's like watching a linkedin post in human form.

It's so insane how we've built society so that you desperately need a job to handle ALL aspects of your life, yet companies are trying to get rid of labor as much as possible. AI is an amazing tool but people hate it because it's a threat to how our ridiculous society is structured.
