Reminds me of a visit to amazon where there were a ton of people packaging and labeling stuff into boxes and then into the robots. At the end of the tour we got to see a machine that eats a roll of cardboard and creates boxes on the fly for objects that are flowing into the machine from another conveyor. So the next phase will be people just taking stuff out of the truck and putting it on a conveyor.
Interesting and probably true

It’s a bad metaphor. Tractors are actually useful, AI is garbage.

Just because you might not understand it or see any viable use-case doesn’t make it garbage. Maybe to you. I like LLMs and use different ones for different needs, knowing their limitation.

Your mom told you Soylent Green was people, but it was really horses.

horses probably get to live a much more chill life now that they are retired.
i just wish thatd be true for humans too. machines already replace most of us.

There’s an almost unlimited amount of work to do. The elderly/children to care for, the art to be made, the research to be done, etc. Tractors freed up a hive amount of the world population to work on other things, current technology does the same.
The problem is that humans have made a system of tightly controlling what work gets valued, how much it gets paid, what should be done and gatekeeping qualifications/resources to be allowed to do things.
umbrella@lemmy.ml 14 hours ago
no there isn’t unlimited work we HAVE to do. we are just slaves of the system tightly controlling our work, so people can profit massively off of our work.
nothing says we can’t slow the fuck down.

Do you prefer eternal stagnacy just to keep unskilled jobs? No judgment towards “unskilled” but some jobs just die out and create new jobs. The horse’s carts might be gone, but we have cars now with millions of diverse jobs plus legwork. I prefer a car over a horse-ride. And a house over a hut. And mobile phones over smoke-signals or pidgeons.
umbrella@lemmy.ml 14 hours ago
no, im arguing for the opposite. as soon as we have our needs taken care of, we can slow the fuck down and let the machines do the work for us.
we can toil less and less as technological advancements come around.

We gave up “all-flat-terrain”, carbon neutral, semi-self driving things and got “this road is not paved so I’ll shake you so much that your baby will die”, “created new jobs: climate disaster control”, “just currently getting some self-driving capabilities”.
I’m half-joking of course, cars are great for long distance travel but you could argue humanity would be far better (apart from GDP) if we have no roads in the cities.

Modern horses usually have a short rough life and they are sent to the sausage factory from slightest join ache. Luckiest end up in some petting farm.
ikidd@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Where do you even get that from? Most horses are pampered lawn ornaments.

oh no :( how so?

It is true already. Washing machines, dishwashers, tractors, lifts, escalators, cars, computers, cnc, power tools, cranes, etc. They make our life much more relaxed.
