“AI took my job, literally”—Gizmodo fires Spanish staff amid switch to AI translator

Reply in thread

Capitalism was a mistake. All of this is just its flaws being taken to its logical extreme.

AI being used to translate stuff isn't a bad thing on its own, it's not severely damaging the careers and in many cases the lives of educated people just because it exists. It does so in the context of this system which hasn't really been working for a while and continues to fail. AI has its dangers regardless, for sure but it doesn't necessarily have to spelll doom in all the ways it has been.

People aren't stupid.

Nah. People are indeed stupid.

However when you examine these beliefs in more depth there is obviously some amount of internal logic that is used to justify these beliefs to themselves and others in the group.

No there isn't. It looks like logic, but it isn't. They work backwards, rationalizing conclusions they arrive to emotionally so they can retrofit arguments to justify it, and their "evidence" as you put it is always either full of holes or outright non-falsifiable. There are always glaring flaws in their reasoning but you can't reason them out of it because the point was always to support their preconceived notions by any means necessary. Because they're that fucking stupid. Your entire premise is wrong.

No way you're getting rid of any kind of mysticism, ever. You have people shooting at random towers blaming 5g and not vaccinating because of the dumbest reasons.

Humankind as a whole isn't intelligent enough to get rid of irrational stupidity and as long as you have that you'll have people believing in all those things you mentioned.

Oof…

It took a huge amount of time and self reflection to realize that I'm not lazy and I'm actually trying my best. It's sad to think how misunderstood I was for so, so many years.

I mean I can respect that if they've just really known imperial forever. I just take issue with them confusing it being easier for them for that specific reason with it being intersubjectively better, which is dumb.
