Comment on How Do The Normal People Survive?

They aren’t? The whole point of AI is to use technology to rationalize severing the social contract at a basic level in order to normalize hurting people for being out of the loop. Techies in their naive smugness refused a leftist analysis of their industry, failed to unionize and now the rest of us are paying the price.

Whether it is using AI to aid in the Palestinian genocide with Microsoft, using AI to mass deny life saving healthcare and murder people with United Healthcare, preying upon tech illiterate people with the ads industry or any number of things, trust us, we aren’t thankful for techies.

What the fuck are you talking about?

This isn’t about AI, or Palestine, or healthcare.

  No, actually it is inseperable from those things.

    That is not a point you have made. You just started talking about those things. You didn’t relate them to the post in any way

???

Perhaps I’m too dumb to understand it, but I don’t see how whatever you just said is relevant to the article.

  Probably because you are still refusing to look at this any way other than a naive techy who sees everything as a series of individual technical problems and cannot grasp the systematic, social forces shaping the technology and systems around them to violent ends.
  
  This article laments about a number of things that have systematic, definable origins that society has warned tech industry workers as if they were simply expressions of a chaotic universe full of people who aren’t as smart as them that always for some reason desperately need their help to accomplish basic things with the tools from the industry they work in.
  
  There is a crisis of individuality in the politics of US tech workers, and it is far past nauseating, it is offensive to all the people being hurt right now by the tools these people are involved with building.
