I am ethically and morally opposed to gen AI as a concept. As far as the breaking point, let me explain. I’ve been a machinist for ~18 years. It’s been really bad for the last 9 years and I’ve more or less had to live off of savings from the good years (those savings are basically gone).
I’ve just recently gotten legitimate job offers for ~$125 an hour remote because I own a CNC. The catch is that I have to record all of the CAM programming and machine time in order to train an AI to replace potentially hundreds of thousands of jobs.
This fucking sucks. I’d love to sit on my ass forever at 43, but I absolutely fucking hate the potential that I could bring that would crush the working class and elevate the owning class.
I wish it wasn’t this hard, because I really do believe in socialism and have labored hard for a long time to make it happen - but there’s a chance I can put everything I have into true anarchism cause and make a legitimate difference.
Please help.
Someone else will be a Nazi if you decline. Does that sound reasonable?
That other person will be a Nazi if you accept, too. The job only goes to a finite number of people.
Stop that. You are on the same side and you’re both right. We need to fight as a group, not individually.
Yes and fighting is not “you might as well do it tbh”
Telling a man not to put food on his table is not a winning strategy.
Selling your values to the money-havers is not a winning strategy.
Godwin’s Law in record time. Principles mean nothing if you’re starving to death on the street. Better to get your piece and put it to good work.
It wouldn’t be the internet if someone didn’t pull this one off the shelf. 👏
