In a fair world, we would be celebrating our machine labor achievement and enjoy our free time. Instead we have capitalism and virtual luddites shouting to protect menial labor.
The luddites didn’t hate machines because they loved manual labor…
They wanted to ensure that mechanization benefited the workers via less hours and increased wages rather than the same wages and less jobs to go around.
Destroying mechanization was just an accomplishable goal in that fight.
What you’re doing is falling for propaganda from a long ass time ago by the owner class…
If we’re lucky. It’s more likely to be lower wages. “We don’t need to pay experienced programmers anymore, they aren’t writing the code after all. We just need cheaper, less skilled people to review the code that is already 99% fine”.
💯 Not about the tech, it’s about who is going to use the tech to make life worse for the working class.

Or using the actual current definition of the word. It’s like going on a rant about hunters when you get called a nimrod.
I’m also going to push back on pretending the current anti-ai movement is against capitalism when it’s pro copyright. Their support is what big AI companies are using to create their monopoly.
This centuries luddites aren’t tearing down machinery but helping build a walled garden.

The parrels between the mechanical loom for them and AI for us really seem like they should be obvious…
But it’s crazy on Labor Day weekend people are shit talking the luddites
