      you do realize mechanized looms were used to put people out of jobs and very very very clearly harm them, right? this isn’t an argument in favour of AI, it’s an argument against it.

      i’m pro-AI (with huuuuge caveats) but i disagree with this… AI reduces certain jobs in a similar way, but it also enables large scale manipulation and fucks with our thought processes on a large scale

      i’d say it’s like if a mechanised weaving loom also invented the concept of disinformation and propaganda

      … but also, mechanised weaving loom effected a single industry: modern ML has the potential to effect the large majority of people: it’s on a different scale than the disruption of the textile industry
