Ah the luddite argument.
I’m quite happy AI is taking my job, now all I have to do is supervise a bunch of AI agents who do the work for me while I can do things I actually enjoy doing.
And my boss likes it too because things that used to take an day now take at max an hour.



I think this could be the beginning of the end for capitalism.
With past automation capital became more efficient but labor was still required. A tractor for example replaced hundreds of farmers, but still required an operator, same with factory machines. But AI is different.
Capitalism requires the capital labor relationship, but AI fudementally gets rid of that.
What way it ends up I don’t know, but for the first time there is a real chance to end the extractive nature of wage labor.
