And why you think all the big boys push for ML, LLM, AI? To cut off the middle class. Once stuff will work automagicaly, they can squish even more profits while not caring about middle class at all. They will just ask automatas to do things for them... Great bright future... | ||

To be fair, I don't think "the big boys" are so actively malicious to be seeking "to cut off the middle class." I think they push for "ML, LLM, AI" because they've made investments and see dollar signs, and they just don't care about about who is harmed or what kind of damage they do. There might also be an element of seeing the bad outcome as inevitable, and selfishly focusing on ending up on top after all the disruption vs trying to prevent or mitigate it. Don't get me wrong, that's a terrible attitude and those are awful people. They get no points for merely not being a cartoon villain. But I think it's important to understand the situation correctly if anything's to be done about it. | ||
