This is literally what half of the trump supporters are trying to say to justify this. The glaringly obvious answer being that many democrats are also on the list. I just don’t understand how they can be this fucking stupid.
Americans are narcissists, gluttons, and cowards as a national trait. It’s inherent in their national pride. And yet the rest of us are constantly surprised by what they allow to happen within their country and what they allow their country to do the rest of the world. It shouldn’t be that surprising.
And before you guys get all ragey at me, I understand not all Americans are like this. But you have to do a little more inward reflection than you usually do to understand why everybody else hates you guys.
I mean it kind of is, just less insidious sounding when laid out plain. Hiring people cuts into profits, so they want to hire less people and use AI, which is theoretically cheaper, to do it. And then you don’t have to worry as much about pesky things like UNIONS or HR or SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAWSUITS. Different people have different opinions on how evil absolute nihilism towards the people who are affected by the loss of those jobs is, I personally think it’s pretty fucking evil but I think pretty much every capitalist value is pretty fucking evil so I wouldn’t say my viewpoint on this is an especially nuanced one.
Honestly this whole argument is insane to me and indicative to the clown world we live in. If AI can do human jobs, even if it’s a little shittier, we should HAVE THAT and then have HUMANS WORK LESS but this thing that should be making our lives awesome is absolutely going to be used to make them worse.
