Honestly, if anything i think AI is going to reverse the trend. Someone is going to have to be hired to clean up after them.


I think they said that about outsourcing software dev jobs. The reality is somewhere in the middle. extreme cases will need cleanup but overall it's here to stay, maybe with more babysitting.


I think the reality is Lemon Market Economics. We'll sacrifice quality for price. People want better quality but the truth is that it's a very information asymmetric game and it's really hard to tell quality. If it wasn't, we could all just rely on Amazon reviews and tech reviewers. But without informed consumers, price is all that matters even if it creates a market nobody wants.


If anyone will actually bother with cleaning up.


Thats the impression I got. Things overall get just worse in quality because people rely too much on low wages and copy pasting LLM answers


I think that's true in software development. A lot of the focus is on coding because that's really the domain of the people interested in AI, because ultimately they ARE software. But the killer app isn't software, it's anything where the operation is formulaic, but the formula can be tedious to figure out, but once you know it you can confirm that it's correct by working backwards. Software has far too many variables, not least of which is the end user. On the other hand things like accounting, finance, and engineering are far more suitable for trained models and back testing for conformity.


Get worse for who? The ruling class will simply never care how bad things get for working people if things are getting better for the ruling class.


The central problem with this statement is that we expect others to care, but we do not expect this from ourselves.

We have agency. Whether we are brainwashed or not. If we cared about ourselves, then we don’t need another class, or race, or whatever other grouping to do this for us.


I meant just regular products as example if I login to bitpanda on browser the parts that would hold the translation hold the keys for translations instead. Just countless examples and many security issues as well.

Regarding class struggle I think class division always existed but we the mass have all the tools to improve our situation.
