disguy_ovahea@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•American attitudes about AI today mirror poll answers about the rise of the internet in the '90sEnglish1·1 day agoThe media is very predictable for sure. They put on the rose-colored glasses for the pro argument, and sensationalize the worst fears for the con. Historically, the truth lands in the middle.
Unlike the topic of immigration, with the massive wealth inequality of today, anything benefiting corporations over the working class is far more likely to work out in their favor.
disguy_ovahea@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•American attitudes about AI today mirror poll answers about the rise of the internet in the '90sEnglish6·1 day agoThat’s intentional. They sensationalize to desensitize. Unlike the introduction of computers or the internet, AI will absolutely take far more jobs than it will create. Goldman Sachs predicts a 50% reduction in US jobs by 2045, and Republicans added a provision into the budget reconciliation that prohibits any regulation on AI for a decade, to ensure that prosperity goes to the corporations.

Forbes predicts a 25% reduction in the US job market by 2035, and Republicans included a provision in the budget reconciliation that prohibits any regulations on AI technology for 10 years to ensure that happens.

We should be voting twice every two years, not once every four, for national elections alone.

He was voted in with 274k, but only 43k voted in the primary. People who call for term limits should try showing up when they have a say.

Do you know who always votes? Retirees, and they have very different needs than the working class.

Don’t let their violent behavior provoke you. Instead, record and document it, gain a safer position, and continue to protest.
