    A lot of AI is just capitalist attempts at worker replacement. Notice how few of them say "will make work better" and how many of them say "will make work obsolete"

      Yeah, capitalists have been obsessed with automation as long as they’ve existed. Sounds like we both agree that it should be focused on making work better.

      I saw an old ad from the 80’s for an IBM home computer that really surprised me. It’s pitch was that it would save you a huge amount of time that you could then spend with your family instead of working.
