    Yes, it’s not the technology I hate, it’s the people pushing it, demanding it, saying it will replace humans. Those people can fuck right off. Technology exists to serve humans, not the other way around. We are being sold a lie. The technology has some interesting aspects, but the pushers are pushing bullshit.

      Alright. Hang the fuck on.

      Class war.

      Technology is incapable of doing anything. It literally can do nothing. It can be used as a tool for sure.

      It’s currently being used to fuck you. It’s fucking me. It’s fucking us.

      BUT ONLY AT THE DIRECTION OF BILLIONAIRES

        Tools are labour made solid. They’re built by workers, and used by other workers in order to be more productive. Unlike a worker, a tool can be owned, which is why the owner class will always prefer more of the “skill” in production come from tools and processes, even at the cost of some craft or quality. Because they get more control.

        Anyway LLMs are like a knowledge tool in this case. A truly devastating weapon in the class war, assuming workers agree to adopt it and help improve it.

      Technology has always replaced humans though. That’s ultimately the point. The problem becomes when there aren’t alternatives for humans to do but we still live in a capitalistic and consumeristic society.

      I think everyone want’s their lives to be easier, but they also want to be able to eat, survive and thrive.
