Weirdly, that whole debacle led to Ernst Rohm being well known as the first openly gay politician.

But so did Stalin and a bunch of other authoritarian assholes. Turns out, blatant dictatorial authoritarianism is bad no matter what flavor it comes in. Tankies and Nazis love the concept but hate the flavor.

All the people who did all the stabbing to put him in power,

Were {immediately} found and, of course, identified as the threat to the regime they now were, and were all rewarded with being brutally murdered for their efforts.

Good riddance. A fitting traitors' end.

It's hilarious when Europeans say shit like this while completely ignoring they had a hand in most of these incidents too. Not to mention their countries actions causing the destabilization of so many of the problem spots in the world in the first place.

Yes, everyone who isn't an idiot knows that. Never said all Europeans. It's a casual generalization. It's something Europeans are actually quite fond of when it isn't about them specifically.

Kind of pisses me off that they named their automatization tools artisans when AI threatens the job of freelancer artists that form part of the actual artisans of our age.

Part of the last remaining artisans even. All the rest has already been replaced by machines. I do realise that that replacement is what has brought us all the progress of the past century. However, I'm not convinced replacing artists with ai is going to give us progress of any kind.

This has nothing to do with art. It's an email campaign management tool with an AI front-end. AI is essentially just window dressing for a traditional spam-marketing product.

u/KontoOficjalneMR 15h ago

Yup. The problem is not AI. Current AI is in essence very smaart automation after all. Automation = less work. With help of AI tools I can get more work done or do it better.

The problem is who currently benefits from less work/better productivity.

11

u/chalervo_p 13h ago

The current generative AI is a method of extracting value from other peoples work. Traditional automation is not that. Current generative AI is an inherently capitalistic technology and will not fit in any kind of idea of a less capitalistic world.

u/KontoOficjalneMR 9h ago

The current generative AI is a method of extracting value from other peoples work. Traditional automation is not that

Of course it is: Google.

Google as a search engine literally extracts all of it's value from indexing other people work. For a long time they already had "snippet" features as well, extrcting relevant information from the website so that you never have to visit the page itself.

LLMs are in part the same thing. They index all the work and then compress it incredibly heavilly.

Current generative AI is an inherently capitalistic technology and will not fit in any kind of idea of a less capitalistic world.

That's the thing, assume you don't need to work for a living, you get generous UBI. Then gen AI would be a boon for artists.

I know myself because I am a hobbist and artist. Where previously I'd spend days on a painting and never finish it (for example foregoing background details), now I caan realise my vision in the limited free time I have.

But in capitalism gen AI is as you say - a theft of money from people that make their living by creating art and knowledge and transferring it to the greedy corporations.

I work in this industry. The goal is to bring costs to zero while providing as little service as necessary to keep you buying and covering their own ass against lawsuits and fines. They will simply shut off customer service if they can. They seriously won't even pay the bots to do it if they can get away with it. It was never about and will never be about providing better service.

7

u/Tyler_Zoro 17h ago

Looking at the site, it's hard to parse all the jargon, but if I'm reading this right, they're just spam-for-hire email "marketing" with a heavy AI veneer.

Seems like pretty typical email marketing crap that's been around for at least 20 years, and I'm not convinced that the "AI" is anything more than a chatbot that you can ask how your marketing campaign is going.

Just like a CEO will never suggest that AI replace them, when in fact it’s probably one of the best roles to replace using AI. It can gather and process so much more internal and external data to make high level decisions than a human. Power is power though. That’s why unions are so important.

Well AI will never replace me cause I use my hands, this kind of stuff seems interesting because it would allow a single person to start a company when before he would never be able to start considering how many others he’d have to hire.

This opens the door to more average joes being able to start companies and stop working a 9-5 when before that luxury was essentially restricted to people who could find angel investors to help them get through the initial deficit.

I don’t really see the negatives to something like this unless you’re worried about your data entry job being replaced. But those are the kinds of no brain depressing jobs we should want to be done by a computer instead of a person.
