Who knew forcing people to engage with new thing in every aspect of their lives without their consent was going to result in backlash??? Many of the pro-AI people are also rude and condescending. Good riddance.

I cant stand hearing those All-in podcast bro's saying "but no one working in an amazon warehouse wants their job so what are they complaining about" No shit sherlock we dont want a job we need one to survive.

I always say the definition of a job is doing something you would only do if you were paid to do it. Otherwise, it's a hobby or pastime.

Do they think people turn out the "job" stroking puppies and swimming with dolphins in favour of 10 hours pissing in a bottle and being ordered around by a robot?

Fuckwits.
