    Oh that’s really easy: AI isn’t brown.

    Never underestimate the Americans’ capacity for racism. A lot of things in America can be explained by racism.

        “Hallo my frend, how are you today, ah? I am very heppy to see you, inshalla we have very good time, yes?”

        That works is seems, but you have to get access to someone’s account to add it to the custom instructions.

      Yeap… Imo the reason why so many of the worst people in America are so obsessed with AI is because they think it will solve the age old problem of population decline without having to import brown people for labour.

    It’s good if housing and stocks go up but it’s bad if salaries and the price of stuff go up. Because it widens the gap between the haves and the have nots.

      Just salaries. They like it when prices go up because they own the businesses selling things, and because it forces people to invest in their stocks.

      You can’t be a proper racist. Some of the words you used have more than four syllables and you haven’t misspelt the name of your own country even once.

    AI or any other technology is good because doing more work with less people is the reason our living standards are higher than 100 years ago.

    Immigrants that work and pay taxes is also good.

      Yes but AI implementations currently don’t do that. They just make people lose jobs because it makes it cheaper for companies.

      And also AI and automation is jot taking over dangerous and unhealthy manual jobs but it’s taking over programming and graphic design kinda jobs.

        They just make people lose jobs because it makes it cheaper for companies.

        Yes, that’s what happens when technological advances hit an already saturated market. The problem here is that, due to this baby, the fruits of all this automation are going to the owner class rather than the working class.

          Operating costs. Or at least that’s the idea. Don’t know if it actually makes it cheaper but CEOs sure love not having people to pay.

            I understand that having fewer people to pay makes it cheaper for companies, but if the AI isn’t performing the duties of the people who got laid off, the AI is not making it cheaper for companies. That’s just a round of layoffs, unrelated to AI.

            I assure you it doesn’t, and these fuckups have a significant cost that we will pay, not them.

            Unless enough of us mobilize, then we can absolutely shift that cost, but the requirement is the bare minimum, and unfortunately 99.9 percent of us don’t have that.

      Don’t worry, the next project will probably put the immigrants into slavery, then they’ll both be legal AND owned by white people.

      It might be owned by white people but you should read the names of people in lead technical roles and writing research papers. I promise you will have a hard time pronouncing most of the names haha.

        While I totally agree with you, have you ever tried yourself at Polish names? And I think they are mostly white ;0)

    I don’t mind if immigrants pick strawberries by hand.

    I also don’t mind if AI compiles all my tedious bibliography & citations for me.

    In both cases, no one is taking our jobs. The ruling class is using both immigrants and AI to suppress our wages.
