Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

If we play our cards right, we can all be bourgeoisie. Automate all alienated labor roles, let people do the non-alienated (ie meaningful) tasks themselves if they like.

For $20/mo, anyone can have a personal assistant that takes dictation, does research, writes reports, etc.

I know $20/mo isn’t accessible to everyone, but it’s a lot more accessible than it was before to exploit this kind of help.

Assuming we can keep AI unconscious, nobody has to be an industrial or bureaucratic worker any longer. Unless they enjoy it.
