I’m sorry. I thought that I alluded to it but I didn’t. The fact that I have a 40-hour workweek is because Labor (not any political party) fought for it. The Weekend also. And getting enough income to be “middle class” rather than proletarian. What would the modern Westerner say if they uniformly had to work 12-hour days? Probably something about Orwell’s boot stomping on a face forever and then getting back to work. Also America’s 1950’s middle class boom. |

> LLMs are brains in a vat and therefore cannot by themselves do any tasks that goes beyond simulating keyboard & mouse in front of a computer screen.
Meant to imply that (a bit obtuse writing style?) even if LLMs cHaNge evEryThing for white collar work... you still need embodiment in order to do many “human” jobs. Thus even with the maximalist take-our-jobs outlook, labor itself will not be wiped out in one fell swoop. Which means that those who are left can fight back. Because they have their labor as leverage.
I didn’t feel like spelling that out because replying to two-sentence defeatism with multiple paragraphs is a lot of work.
