when you are served by human, it just brings certain je ne sais quoi.
i’m baffled both by the angle of attack and choice of an image (is this retweet of musk?)

The bourgeois hireling exposes himself
I do tend to have this conversation with “leftists” who are against AI doing these sorts of service jobs. These jobs are meaningless and degrading for the people in them. The issue is we need to work to live in an age of abundant resources
It is just a rehashing of the automation argument again: under capitalism it creates unemployment, under socialism it reduces required labor. And attacking the technology itself is neoluddism which is an impotent ideology regardless of your sympathes.
imo best to just accept the evolving technological environment and invent new ways to exploit it. The bourgeois will always find new ways to dispossess the working class and create a reserve army of labor
Ok, but if Musk makes shitty TeslaXBots, we can still attack them, right? Not because it’d actually change anything, just for fun.
You should attack anything Musk makes.
But only when you aren’t going to get caught, Teslas often have cameras so you need to make sure your face is hidden and there are no witnesses.
Pick your battles I guess
Its also anti-marxist. Engels wrote extensively about the luddites (silesian weaver uprising). Marxism is supposed to emancipate the working class from labor and use technology to improve their lives, hell marx himself thought that the technology of his time was nearly sufficient enough so people dont have to work at all.
He was mostly right about that. Any labor above the level of ~25 hours a week is an imposition of the society on the working class, for the sake of overproduction.
I get what you’re saying but I also think it’s understandable that a lot of people are still very wary of AI. For one I think there’s a lot of reasonable doubt that it will, at least as it exists now, actually help useful automation and instead just being hyped up by tech oligarchs and mostly just pumps out slop. Right now the jobs it seems to be close replacing are not the ones I think society should be focusing on replacing. Robots writing TV shows while Bangladeshi children make sneakers this the vision of the future current AI models present to me.
Edit: also current AI models seem to have a high social cost while not actually doing a good job automating. It burns a lot of energy while generally producing lackluster results.
