You're arguing against a point I never made. I agree that AI will be an important technology. I also think that it'll affect people that have to work for a living negatively (both …

By that definition gasoline would not classify as a consequential technology as it's almost exclusively used in a single application (transportation). It also already assumes that …

Fear is not usually a voluntary response. Telling people that they should not fear something (especially without an argument why there is no danger) is wasted effort.

The printing press, automobile and calculator didn't threaten the employability of a large part of the population, so no, that sentence was probably not uttered by anyone at that t…

Leaded gasoline to me is a very consequential technology given how much toxic lead it put into our environment. Do you have an argument why "normal" technology can be good or bad, …

Unions only work because their members have leverage because the wealthy still need their labour. Unions will do absolutely nothing against full replacement by AI.

> How will it destroy your life? By taking away my ability to earn a living. > There are so many great and useful things it can and will do to improve humanity. What great things a…

> The ability to create software accelerates technological progress, which has direct and indirect benefits for everyone. It has benefits for people with enough leverage (money and…

The fact a technology is still in use does not imply that it is not negative for humanity.

I don't consider myself as part of a "laptop class", I don't live in the US and I'm anti-immigration.

I suspect your reasoning is circular if you only consider "great" technologies.

There are many technologies that have not been a net positive for humanity. Leaded gasoline comes to mind immediately. For many other technologies it is also hard to determine beca…

Because the ability to create software has little inherent value to me and is only valuable to me because it allows me to earn enough to make this life somewhat bearable. LLMs that…

Why should I be amazed at something that promises to destroy my life? I genuinely don't understand why people who have to work for their living are amazed at this. It will have a v…

Okay? We have information that Anthropic sucked up all of the internet for the development of Fable.

> "Our AI makes your workers X times more productive" This is still replacement, it's just not _total_ replacement.

You're not the target audience of his attempts at advertising. Your employer is. So, to answer your question: Dario does not care.

What else would they advertise with? "Our model constantly makes mistakes so you still have to hire expensive humans to proof-read everything"? The entire point of the AI industry …

The existing biological evidence took billions of years of evolution to get to the state it's at. So it may not just take research and discovery but also enormous computing power.

> Why do you think tech bro billions aren't also subject to replacement by AI? Because they're billionaires. They don't actually work for a living. They own stuff for a living. > A…

He isn't saying that anyone not born in Sweden is forced to leave. You should try to actually read and understand the quote.

Sadly your comment does not contain any actual argument as to _why_ you think the quote is ethnonationalist.

> The math community was not a global underclass. I never claimed they were. The term "permanent underclass" refers to the preferred world order of AI techbro billionaires[1] where…

Do you think the CEO of your company hired you and pays a lot of money for you because they like you?

> so it's kind of annoying I'm not really going to see any upsides to an AI world either I don't think the "permanent underclass" will see many upsides either. They certainly won't…
