Comment Re:What people do with AI isn't the issue (Score 1) 22

The question is simply, can an agentic LLM process do workload X for cheaper than a person? If yes, then the job is gone.

Typical AI shill answer (and the word "agentic" in the sentence is a dead giveaway too).

Wrong logic: a person's job should be gone if your "agentic" thing does the job cheaper AND at least as well.

As always, AI shills conveniently forget to factor in the quality of the work produced.

The reality of AI is, while it might be cheaper than real workers, it also enshittifies the entire world. And that's a fact.

Yeah, sure...

Is anybody surprised by this?

I know Yen retracted his statement, but that's not good enough. I don't trust him like I wouldn't trust Elon Musk if he apologized for the Nazi salutes, because doing it once kills your credibility forever - or at least makes it exceedingly hard to prove you're not that person later on.

Proton should have thrown Yen out immediately after that incident if they had wanted to preserve their reputation and they didn't. So I don't trust Proton.

Won't happen. Why? Because the government uses the future of their students to guarantee a seemingly unending flow of cash. Lower prices? Ha! They will raise them until the government cuts off their funding.

Or, apparently, when people stop going to college because of how expensive it is.

Why is it a lie? If people stop buying fuel products you think oil companies would continue pumping it out of the ground? It's a lot easier to talk about 'evil oil companies' than consumers giving up the comforts of cheap fuel. These researchers are the ones being dishonest.
