hark@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What should be done with the unemployable people?9·3 days agoThis post is based on a false premise. These people aren’t unemployable, they’re being actively rejected so that the available labor pool remains sizeable and desperate. The automation hype is just that, hype. Just like the gig economy, it’s merely a way to devalue labor and exploit it while selling the idea as innovation. Some evidence: if automation was really going to make so many people unemployable, then why is the news freaking out over the declining birth rate? Surely if automation is going to take over so much work, we wouldn’t have to worry about who will take care of the elderly.

For one, AI as it currently exists doesn’t learn. The AI has to be trained with its weights adjusted in order to actually update its way of thinking. For another, memory is nothing more than prepending your prompt history to your next prompt, there is no actual mechanism of memory, just this hack.

I think his endorsement still holds sway in his state of South Carolina, but thankfully it doesn’t mean anything in New York.
You’re just going to ignore the democratic party coordinating all the candidates to drop and put their support behind Biden while funding a PAC to keep Warren in the race to split votes with Bernie right before super tuesday? Plus having their big media buddies run the story of “the Biden miracle” after getting democratic party stooge Clyburn to endorse Biden and come out ahead in South Carolina (the state that went to Trump in the general election, by the way).
Also, the superdelegates made it look like the lead that Clinton had was so insurmountable that it was pointless to turn out for Bernie.
If you think these have no effect then, by the same logic, you’d think that billionaires spending tons of money on PACs has no effect.

I assume another round of disastrous numbers paired up with some vaporware distraction. Perhaps they can keep this charade going, but at some point reality will catch up.

Even if the service crashes and burns, they’ll jump to the next hype topic like robots or AI or whatever and the stock price will stay up.

No you can’t. That’s maybe what the dealership will pay you for a trade-in, but not what you would pay to purchase such a vehicle.

Perhaps the path forward is people plugging their phone into a dock and being presented with a more productive interface.
