An open letter to those who fired tech writers because of AI/LLM. https://passo.uno/letter-those-who-fired-tech-writers-ai/
all valid arguments here, no doubt. but, the decision makers are currently drunk on the AI/LLM Kool-Aid. They are firing employees simply to fund expensive GPUs or API services from the likes of OpenAI/Google & co. At this point, it feels like talking to a wall, they don't understand the human side of the problem, the products, or the suffering they cause. They are living in an alt bubble. It is a madness

i have said this before and I will say it again, we need proper laws and heavy fines for job losses caused by AI. If you want to replace a role with AI, fine. but that 'robot' or AI should be subject to a 100% tax. say if a human paid 30% in taxes, the AI should pay 100%. That is the only way to prevent this stupidity. As others have noted, citizens are already seeing higher electricity or water bills because these companies aren't paying their fair share of the infra costs they consume

and give that 100% collected tax to people who lost the jobs to AI. it is very simple fix to keep people falling into poverty or worst crime or drugs issues etc.

@nixCraft Well, long term the correct answer is actually UBI.
Short term the answer is to stop letting everyone con others into thinking LLMs can ever become "AI" under any circumstances ever. They will never truly replace humans.
It does, I guess, have the advantage (albeit in a painful way) of showing us which corporations are run by the most ignorant people least willing to listen to experts. And, of course governments...

these companies like to call themselves bullshit terms like "Hyperscalers," but refuse to pay the higher costs of electricity, cooling, and water. Not to mention, they are causing other issues like noise pollution. Hyperscalers, my ass. You are freeloaders who are abusing what is meant for families and honest taxpayers.

@nixCraft Disagree with taxes as high as 100%, but heavy taxation yes. Particularly agree with the utitilities part.

@nixCraft That's what tech CEOs used to suggest will happen when all the work is dome by machines - that surplus productivity will provide easier lives for everyone - but of course we never actually planned to do that. It must satisfy corporate greed, which is insatiable. Every time tech increases productivity, more on the margins must be pushed down into the grinder to feed the machine. The love of money is the root of all evil, hence a system that worships money is inherently evil.

@nixCraft
the assumption is that, after 20 years of costly R&D, we will have all kind of predictive, vibes-based logic on a tiny chip.So the business case is real but the reward is 20 years away. the only way to make it happen is with taxes. A few will get rich but everyone wins.

@nixCraft Workers “replaced” by glorified applied statistics should get a 5y worth of salary + heath benefits severance package. If “AI” is such a productivity/output boost, the companies implementing it should see soaring profits that make the severance packages look like pocket change.

@stefano Could be a depiction of my mother, my two grandmothers and so many of the women around me in my youth. A time capsule artifact containing nice things and also many “crimes” when the life of this chickens or ducks had to come to an end. Violent images and the need to run far away from the scene at this moment.
So was countryside life. Silent and peaceful often, yet cruel at times.

NEW: The FBI said it is investigating a hack on its networks.
The breach affected the FBI's systems to manage wiretaps and surveillace requests, according to CNN.

@ben we now appear to have FTTP! (in Fareham) - although the digital voice part had some issues. You?

@cwebber Hey, hey, HEY! I *wrote* steampunk.
It was not hipster at all.
(OK, most of it, more insterested in the bubbly Victorian aestethic than in any kind of actual content, or anything "punk", really, was. But that's not the whole of it)

@cwebber This is making me more worried about Vorta's Claude workflows.
Backup software that handles highly sensitive data would be a prime target for such a supply chain attack.

@cwebber From what I can see, and through the connections I share, they're an IT consultancy that focuses on data analysis & visualization, particularly for defense and law enforcement. The people crossover points towards the kind of business I would have avoided working for back when that was my stomping ground... Not quite Palantir-level, but leaning in that direction, it seems.
These firms seem to like ruining good words & literature references.

E voi vi siete mai infortunati con le scarpe antinfortunistiche?
poi quando ci cade qualcosa sopra, non è che ti cade sulla punta, ma più dietro sui lacci dove non hai protezione e ti fai male lo stesso
