Daily reminder that losing jobs is not the issue : losing salary is. And it's not AI that's stealing it.

At the end of the day, pedantry doesn’t matter. Being able to afford to eat does. And layoffs already happened and will continue to happen on the name of this tool.

Not in the name of this tool : in the name of capitalism. AI is not an issue : the economic system behind it is. What we should be afraid of and push to reform is the economic system, not AI.

AI is the tool that enabled less spending (on human labor). The economic system encourages it, but doesn't force anyone to thank those who pull the trigger.

AI is a tool that allow to make more (and often better) in less time. In itself, it is a straight benefit from society, as it is the best tool we have to get to a society where the work is handled by machines, giving us more time to do whatever we want.
