My dad was a machinist. I know automation for their jobs is highly desired. In an ideal socialist world, we would need experts to automate everything for us anyway, so the work you do is laying the ground work for that future to exist; we know it's going to be misused, I would say do it, document things as best you can for the next generation in a common book you keep to yourself.

Additionally, we know AI is pretty shit, Its more likely there will be a robotics breakthrough that will get people there. I think if you go in and get paid, and keep your eyes open for ways to sabotage the data set. (Being inefficient or bad at your job is a way to keep the gig going as long as possible)... there's hope.

Im not a programmer or anything but I also noticed hacker news losing touch. Everyone claimed ai was good at coding, nobody could ever give concrete examples, I guess the reason is the code is embarassing

source?

I've got nothing to lose, If anyone wants me to wear a cool vest and shake someone's hand let me know.

I had to hop off kushiel's dart, but you are spot on that the writing style is evocative.

They serve the same master, I want to live in that world too where there are functioning parties that represent the people, but It doesn't exist and probably never did. Let's move on from playing the game they want us to play and focus on killing the rich.
