The speed of progress of the current generation of AI
The number of jobs that AI can already replace.
Just how many fuckin' people are forklift drivers or cashiers
The will of your employers to be rid of annoying, needy employees
You're overestimating:
The actual productivity of most people
Your actual worth to your company
How much company leaders understand about AI outside of "I can cut headcount by a lot"
I think the part that most people miss is that it's not about being a 1:1 replacement. With proper use of the AI tools we have now, it's not at all unexpected for one person to be able to do the job of many by overseeing the running and output of AI agents. AI isn't going to replace whole industries (yet), but it is absolutely going to replace half of the members of a lot of teams.
Courts have stopped like 90% of the shit hey are trying to do.
Have they, though? They've ruled against things, sure, but the majority of those things haven't stopped or changed, so what effects have the rulings actually had?
I posted several threads asking for that and got REAMED.
The devs are tankies, the largest instances indirectly support fascism (and the tankies), and the biggest European instance is explicitly choosing to support neonazis.
If it doesn't get funded, then hopefully someone with a less distasteful ideology forks it and starts fresh. Lemmy isn't worth giving my money to people who want to enslave me.
If everyone on your team of 6 is 20% faster, you don't necessarily need the 6th person. Maybe you put that towards more work, but that's not very American, these days. Cut costs, cash out, fuck 'em
Or MBin, or KBin, or piefed? Reddit isn't anywhere close to the only game in town anymore, and I'm pretty convinced it's actually 80% bots at this point.
At this point, I'm not sure I would trust the truthfulness of that claim. The hard-core refusal to do so up until this point has been both surprising and unsettling, to say the least.
I would consider it, but being completely honest, this whole event has really soured me on it. I probably just start looking outside of lemmy sometime in the coming weeks 🤷♂️
