   I'm not saying this guy's wrong, forced austerity is coming one way or another and it is due in large part to American leaders and the wealthy trying to maximize profits and minimize costs to compete with foreign countries by any means necessary. It's also part of the reason I believe we're going to see a lot more violence directed at wealthy people, and a lot more fedposting from the left and the right in the coming years.

     @BroDrillard @Xenophon @Marko @PraxisOfEvil AI is overrated in general and for industry in particular. Why making a super complex super expensive multi purpose AI robot instead of pumping a lot of simple single purpose (or very contained purposes). It's like that video of the Russian soldier talking about complex Western vs simple Russian equipment.
     
     Same goes for using these text AI to generate email responses. Instead of "boosting" productivity by having middle managers sending AI generated emails, get rid of all the unnecessary layers. Send al these bourgeois to the assembly line instead, keep a minimum of management that does not care about softening their words.

     @PraxisOfEvil @Xenophon @Marko there will be no tariffs, because absolutely everything in the supply chain comes from China, at least partially. Brandon lost bc prices of basic goods skyrocketed. Orange Retard now rising everything else would be a disaster

     We also need to consider the economic effects of AI. It'll simultaneously over- and underdeliver.
     
     AI output is essentially a sort of the average of its inputs. When you query it, you're basically telling it: "Give me the (weighted) average of your inputs related to this topic. Add a small amount randomization."
     
     underdeliver: This cannot generate anything new.
     (Randomization can add novelty, but it'll be mostly garbage.)
     Humans can learn a new task reasonably well after seeing/doing it once or twice. AI requires a long, expensive training process with large amounts of data pre-gathered.
     
     overdeliver: But for many things that's ok. AI doing about the same as the average worker, or driver does is good enough. If the unit price of usual tasks completed by AI automation is cheaper than humans, AI will replace them. This will drive down the wages for humans.
     In scientific research AI will likely find some connections between different fields that humans miss. Simply because no human can be aware of all the data and ideas, while AI can.

     The reason that tweet is wrong is because all studies show that White people produce more value per unit of time than anyone else. Sure, China can pay workers less, but those workers produce garbage. The issue is that Americans demand quantity over quality, so they place a premium on the Chinese garbage. But even in the realm of something like microprocessors, an American plant can compete economically, but there is a strong desire to make sure we don't, so that fewer Whites have good jobs.

     @Xenophon @Marko

     Quantity over quality

     You're right, Americans love cheap tech junk, go on Amazon and search cameras and earbuds, you'll see stuff for $40 from companies named Dwangzong that move thousands of units in a month. One thing is that Trump's tariffs will make it harder to get that stuff and Americans will have to ask themselves how much they really love that cheap tech junk.

     @PraxisOfEvil @Xenophon @Marko Don't say "Americans" when you know who is the prime consumer of cheap shit.
