Saying that you’re not worth the time for personal interactions but here’s a reason that’s okay is a platitude.

Additionally, AI will only be getting better,

It might get cheaper, but that doesn’t mean it’s doing a better job.

if the alternative is telling people that are struggling and have no other options that they have to tough it out

That’s just it, if you’re talking to someone who’s is struggling with this there is already a better option: showing empathy. I suspect our perceived lack of empathy is a reflection of how society treats people in general, we are just more honest about it and recognize it’s mostly platitudes.

I’ll be honest, I find the framing of the study offensive and I’m not sure if I have the words but I’ll try.

It’s less about this study comparing itself to no intervention instead, but the social & political context of AI being pushed as a way to make care giving more efficient while sacrificing quality.

I wonder how well this runs AutoCad and adobe

Software is part of the superstructure comrade.

What the hell do you think federation is? A Trotsky plot?

Analogies? I only counted one.

Many of these trends were happening before GPT, but it sounds better to say it’s because of AI and not shareholder value.

Reminds me of some questions about whether Epstein was involved with the state of Israel. We now know that Israel was blackmailing Bill Clinton.

you’re just personally insulted.

I swear to God this attitude is why people don’t like what you’re saying. I am all for weighing the two against each other but the “I am more moral than thou” is why I left the church.

With you up until bringing the far left into this. What does universal healthcare, trans rights or taxing billionaires have to do with the surveillance state, aside from dismantling it?

Many restaurants are allowed to pay their employees below minimum wage. They expect tips to fill that gap.

It should but it doesn’t. Like for a while starbucks tips would go towards the shift that cleans the place.

Are clean surfaces something special?
