As a collapse-accelerationist, I welcome our "AI overlords". Their Frankenstein's Monster is going to deal them the same fate as the "deplorables" they spent the last 50 years offshoring and de-industrializing.
NAFTA helped offshore tens of thousands of American jobs. It was never seen as a problem. Globalism helped gut many more people’s jobs in manufacturing and retail. These people were told to go rent a U-Haul after they learned how to code. It’s your own damn fault if you’re too fat, too stupid, and too lazy to run the race on that hedonic treadmill. But now, all of a sudden, things got different. This AI, this modernization of process to get rid of the variation that human inputs inflict on good, efficient Amerikan engineering, this is suddenly some ravage of unrestrained Capitalism.
No, this AI isn’t any more evil than any other manifestation of The Modern. This AI revolution is just Karma Dog. Karma Dog bites like a bitch. I feel no more sympathy for these people than Occupy Wall Street felt for Dick Fuld.
