  • You’re allowed to think whatever you want to think, but your belief without references is not convincing. And the counterpoint, which is my opinion, which is also just an opinion, is that AI salespeople can convince your boss that AI can replace you, but in reality it can’t. But even if it could, what we actually find is that what typically happens is that other tangential jobs increase in number as technology rolls out. When cars hit the scene, we all of a sudden had a lot of people paving roads and doing oil changes and working at garages and stuff like that. All of which didn’t exist to any scale before the automobile.

    But I think you’re right that AI could easily replace CEOs and all variety of company upper-level management because many of those people are just blindly gambling or accepting bribes or quid pro quo deals with their friends.

    Have you ever read the essay entitled “Who Goes Nazi?”

    In the end, when people are dying like they are now, they don’t really care who are white supremacists and who are cheerleading the white supremacists. If you vote for a corporate Democrat who votes to fund ICE, I guessthat’s better than voting for Donald Trump. But it’s not going to help people who are in death camps or people who already died or families that have been torn apart.

    Sometimes voting for the second worst candidate isn’t good enough. Sometimes you need to do a lot more if you want to live your life with dignity and decency. Unfortunately, posts like this are designed to oversimplify life and convince people to give up. But I think that’s a load of bullshit. I think we can do better, and it all starts from recognizing that the Democrats are not going to save us unless we force them to.

    It’s easy to blame the people who stayed home and it’s hard to take responsibility for your own potential.
