And I say “fuck em” until they actually change their stance and views. People might say “oh you need to be tolerant and patient and teach them the error of their ways,” but these are the people that know damn well the impact AI is having on literally everything but they’re still just going “whee! It makes my job easier for 5 minutes!”
Kind of like staking a claim through unionization works better… The technology is here to stay, it’s better to grab control of it before it railroads labor.
“An alleged etymology [of sabotage] describes the actions of disgruntled workers who willfully damaged workplace machinery by throwing their sabots into the works”
Zahille7, I find it disturbing how you and several others relish the thought of siding with the Facebook CEO and against his workers, looking for literally any sin to attack them.
Of course he’s wrong about AI. So are a bunch of cashiers. You expressed the desire to go after them too.
I’m not “going after” anyone. Nor am I siding with any billionaire or CEO.
I’m specifically saying that these coders and other tech people who are deep in the know, continue to use AI regardless of the environmental and social impact; they’ve made their bed, and now they need to lie in it. I have no sympathy for them for saying “hey, I don’t like being surveilled at work, but it’s totally fine for others to do it.”

Yea, let’s get ride of computers all together. In fact, let’s destroy the loom too!
The Luddites made great strides for workers rights. I would be honored to be counted amongst their numbers.

I’ll go get my sledgehammer.
I have some wooden shoes, will they do ?
