“The founders of Mechanize believe they can eventually automate most white-collar jobs.” “I also found their pitch strangely devoid of empathy for the people whose jobs they’re trying to replace, and unconcerned with whether society is ready for such profound change.” (Clearly someone missed the manly man ‘techies work out and look cool’ memo. That hairline + ponytail is criminal. Outside matching the void inside) “This A.I. Company Wants to Take Your Job” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/technology/ai-mechanize-jobs.html

Somehow I've arrived in the "Let it Rip" camp on AI. Very odd, given the rest of my politics (pariah degrowther). If we can't handle the transition that's our problem. Something like.. if we have an, aligned, all powerful AGI agent army that is capable of providing for everyone's needs and yet somehow everyone's needs are not met, then at that point it's really more of a reflection on us as human beings and a global society. The curtain of "hard work" will be taken away. Or maybe it's just a sense of impending doom anyway, and so what is there to loose by rolling the dice on something crazy. Let the e/acc crowd have their fun.

I go back and forth on this. I am not a degrowther but more of a “slow and steady wins the race” kind of person. I ultimately like tech, but hate everyone involved in the industry and their thoughtless plans, soulless greed So, sometimes I’m like fuck it, let them go, the sooner they destroy everything the sooner we can build back better Other times I’m like it doesn’t have to be like this so why are we making it like this. Stop it you freaks
