go for it.. my experience with these LLMs and doing even the most basic tasks is that it runs you around in circles until you fucking give up and just look on stackoverflow like the old days

Not the onion? Jesus christ...

Too bad constant capital like AI doesn't generate surplus value, only humans do. You can't exploit machines, they only transfer their own value to the product over their lifetime.

Even if replacing those workers with LLMs in whatever field this is actually works, profit increases will only be temporary until competing firms also do it and prices start falling below what they were before.

Having a higher ratio of constant to variable capital will help them set prices above values, so they can appropriate value produced in other sectors, but even that might be offset by the falling rate of profit. Or the burst of the bubble / the next crisis.

In the end, AI or no AI, all capitalists want to form a monopoly, to be able to price gouge and appropriate surplus value produced in other sectors or by smaller firms.

Data centers are like grass Pokémon.

They're weak to Fire 🔥

[AI] doesn't ask for a pay raise

Aren't these fuckers supposed to have gone to business school? You're buying the LLM chatbot from another company, which is hemorrhaging money in an attempt to get market dominance. What do you think happens next?

kill your boss

it doesn't ask for a pay rise

is this kayfabe or are the C suite suits really this fucking dumb? unless your company runs the entire goddamn model, no license-no sibscriptions, you ARE going to pay more.

but perhaps they know this and are trying to signal to labor that they will only have the chance to keep their jobs if they don't ask for pay rises.

Cruelty or Stupidity

I thought this was an onion article on first glance.

I guess the Onion equivalent would be "CEOs extremely aroused at idea of firing employees over AI".

Recalling how he fired 27 of the team of 30 student workers in a sales enablement team he was leading at the time, Clark told Giz that the group now gets more "done in less than a day, less than an hour what they were taking a week to produce."'

"In the area of efficiency," he added, "it made sense to get rid of people."

If you're expecting your army of interns to be productive I don't really know what to tell you

At this point I'm torn between believing that the c-suite is too stupid to understand AI isn't going to effectively replace workers, or they know it's not going to replace workers but they need to come up with something to justify the layoffs to keep the stock price high for the next quarter so they can get their golden parachute and fuck off to ruin some other company next

A bullet to the head is too good for these shit stains

I get extremely excited at the thought of placing these people in front of a firing squad

Hope they die

And people still deny class antagonism. I think in many respects, so long as you're dealing with a secular de-facto-materialist person (who will have idealist biases but claims to only really consider observable reality), understanding the irreconcilability of class antagonisms might be the main thing for making people socialists.

I unironically just insist on never referring to the rich as humans, they are pigs. Same goes for people who demand privileges for being white or men or whatever. That’s purely the logic of the pig, pure gluttonous hedonism and if someone gets hurt, all the better!

Look at how giddy the pigs are oinking about ruining your life for free money. Inb4 “just start your own business and become one of us, filthy poor!” as if the majority of businesses started don’t fail.
