I didn't say any of that actually

I said you're yelling at a cloud for moving with the wind. In a room of 10 people that can't change it any more than you can. I don't like people losing their jobs their jobs either. I think AI is gonna lead us to confronting some pretty serious issues that we as a society have shown to be VERY bad at dealing with at the best of times, and utterly inept at the worst of them. You're just fixated on a microcosm, while underselling the actual problem because you're determined to just say "fuck this." 

Your particular brand of bitching about this is going to accomplish exactly nothing, and if someone goes away from here and parrots your nonsense all they're taking away from that, at best, is "oh wow, guess MS is really dumb for betting this hard on AI. Guess that's gonna really bite them in the ass, cus it sure sounds shit. Can't ever replace good hard working folk, no sir..."

Cool. Definitely getting the right point across there. But it's ok, right? Cus AI is overhyped. Not a big deal overall, really. Just MS are kinda being dickheads about it atm. They'll get over it after it loses them a bunch of money in the long run and we keep talking about what asses they are for going down this road.

Telling me to come to terms with it and telling me it's going to be the norm in response to my complaining very much comes across as you trying to tell me to stop complaining about it, Lol. Not once have I said that AI won't replace a lot of jobs or at least try to replace a lot of jobs, I very much already have come to terms with the fact that companies will try to replace workers with AI, I don't need you telling me that.

I'm not yelling at the cloud, I'm criticising companies, we can criticise companies can't we? Or can we no longer post any criticisms here because none of us can change things? I'm determined to say fuck companies for treating their employees like shit and trying to replace them all with AI. Not whatever you're trying to imply of me.

And yes, I still believe and can believe both things just fine, that Microsoft is dumb for betting this hard on AI and it will bite them in the ass and that AI is overhyped in a lot of areas (such as AGI) and incapable of truly replacing a lot of people but it doesn't mean I'm saying companies won't try to do it and won't still do it. Yes they may replace a lot of workers with AI, and guess what, it will result in overall worst products across the board and nobody will win, not the companies, not the workers, not the consumers.

So yes, as I've been talking about for years now, AI needs massive regulation.

Do you read what you post before you hit send, or...nah?

You believe that companies betting on AI are dumb. It will bite them in the ass. It will lead to worse products, lost customers/business, etc. Also however, the market will not react to this. They won't try to sweep their failures under the rug and pivot back to whatever maximizes profits, and capitalism won't correct for this on it's own with other companies stepping in to fill an apparently very dissatisfied customer base/work force. 

So, massive regulation is needed not because capitalism is doing what we fear it does entirely too well when left unchecked...not because there's powerful new tools/tech in the market that logically threatens jobs due to pure efficiency...but because MS and their ilk actually love setting money on fire for an idea. A fantasy. One that the market doesn't bear out. And shareholders are like yep...keep going. And nobody else uses that opportunity to create new investment in good old human labor which is apparently still far more commercially viable?

Fascinating
