"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Well you see if immigrants take a job they'll feed their families. But if AI takes a job it'll make rich white guys more rich.
It sounds like a joke, but this hits the nail on its head.
Pichai and Nadela aren't even white...
At this point 'white' is a cultural thing, and probably it's time for a new term. I also keep calling them 'old white men' because that's what most of them are, but the mental illness is of course not limited to them.

The immigrants aren’t taking our jobs. They’re doing the work “we” don’t want to do. Agriculture. Janitorial. Construction. Stuff like that.
And they’re not making computers and games more expensive.

partially false, they're working under conditions we technically have employment laws against. longer hours, no recourse against management, etc. it helps suppress wages across the board. This include higher paying jobs like software development, nursing, doctors, etc.
This, there's no job "we" don't want to do, they are just typically not paid fairly because the employers have access to desperate immigrants.

Immigrants do jobs that we wont do, and the jobs we do, Its business owners taking our jobs, and giving it to desperate immigrants, who they pay under minimum wage with the implied threat of calling authorities if they complain.
and when authorities do show up, they only arrest the immigrants.. for some reason, they never arrest the cunt that was exploiting them.
Because immigrant labor does more than field work. they bring in tons of skilled immigrant labor under visas to do white collar jobs too, and they are abused and exploited all the same.
That's corporate propaganda, don't fall for it. "We" would be more than happy to do agriculture, janitorial, construction, etc... but we need to be able to feed ourselves and our families on the income from "burger flipping".
You know, like we could do for generations.

This stereotype feels less true every year. I work in a very large office in a large city and ~half of my white-collar co-workers are either immigrants or 1st generation naturalized Americans. According to hiring managers, it’s just representative of the applicant pool.
I know America has historically exploited immigrants for agricultural work (and still does), but there’s also a huge population of white-collar immigrants from all over the world.

Actually, Immigrants don't even take your job, it's only AI that takes your job.
Neither. Just a cover for offshoring, which is booming.
Actually Indians
Immigrants take the low-paying jobs white people don't want to do (ie working on a farm for 14 hours a day).
Why do we keep believing the Epstein class just because they own the major media outlets? They're lying. AI is stealing. Immigrants are good people.
I wouldn't say they're good people, just because they're immigrants. They're people like any other, there are good hardworking people amongst them and lazy slobs, but they're all unfairly exploited.
Of course depending in local laws, but in general it shouldn't be possible to exploit anyone. Regardless of their origin or what it says in their passport. Employee protection laws should apply to everyone equally in a given county regardless of persons nationality.

The most twisted part about this is that at least immigrants create jobs as well. Just like you and me, they need housing, groceries, doctors, entertainment, and so on and so forth. The idea that an immigrant is a net negative for the job market is exactly as stupid as getting upset at people for having more children because it will have a negative effect on the job market.
AI taking jobs is totally fine...in a post-scarcity socialist utopia.
We aren't there yet, though.
Right? I want to live in a world where politicians campaign on destroying jobs, not creating them.
Speaking of that, it's been a little while since I've heard anyone claim to be a big "job creator".
You will love the book Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber. It's basically about jobs nobody needs and why they exist
Much like unemployment, they exist precisely because of capitalism. It's inherent to the system, and that's been know since its early days, and people like Marx and Marcuse wrote plenty about it.

Because immigrants use their money to buy food and shelter and make the local economy thrive, while AI gets money in the pockets of the rich

This is the best AI burn so far
Because the pedophile class pays good money for you to be propagandized to believe that
we can't have the browns (because we all know that's who they mean) taking our jobs while the billionaires are only billionaires. #MoreTrillionaires amirite
immigrants are an easy target because they dont have much rights if any, plus its an easy wedge issue for many countries that have internal political/financial/economic problems. also people dont arnt aware/or are aware of the industry they are in, service, hospitality,,,etc that is necessary for the economies of those countries.
Immigrants "take" blue collar jobs, AI takes white collar ones
Because you're supposed to obey your oligarch overlords.
Ngl I see immigrants more often start their own small businesses like family restaurants and actually increase job opportunities if allowed. And rest is doing jobs citizens do not want.

The problem is not that you lose that theoretical job, it's that they have one. Mind you, it's also a problem if they don't have one. In this socio-theoretical framework anything immigrants do or not do is a problem.
Companies, meanwhile, are only at fault for anything if they're foreign and not multinational corporations.
There is no logic to who you're told to be angry at. It's just easier to control people if they're made to be angry at some group of people. It doesn't matter which.
That's why it's important to remember when you're on the internet and find yourself becoming angry at a group of people to stop and ask yourself "is this someone trying to control me?"
Soon there will be ai management software which will track workers through cameras in order to judge their productivity levels. Nobody is safe.
For the capitalists it is also good that immigrants take the jobs.
