excellent point. it is like saying computers in the 90s.

remember how the bank giving your money to the wrong person was a crime? and then when "the computet" did it was just business as usual and you paid more for banking because now they had "computer fraud" insurance?

same thing. cop deliver false report, jail (hah! i know). now, it was "the Ai". so no jail, they will go back and put rules for the cop to read or something.

and we are making everything worse by the minute. One gov push back on Ai nonsense, ibm/rh cames up with all sort of lies that would make any engineer or research laugh on their faces (federated learning being for privacy, instead of cost cutting. or explainable Ai being real, and not something bolted after the inference with extra unexplainable inference. etc.) but that are good enough to fool the regulator.

All this, so people like us can do a job that wasn't that hard in the first place (and in fact was quite comfortable all things considered), just a little bit easier, for companies that are promising to lay us off for productivity gains that aren't even measurable.
my friend, jobs only matter in volume not quality.

why do you think every capital accumulation in the past caused "absentee landlords"? everyone wants the profit without even having to collect the rent.

Ai (or Bangladesh) doesn't have to do the work better than you, just deliver more X, where X is work output div capital input.
