The whole point of "AI" is to take humans OUT of the equation, so the rich don't have to employ us and pay us. Why would we want to be a part of THAT?
AI data centers are also sucking up all the high quality GDDR5 ram on the market, making everything that relies on that ram ridiculously expensive. I can't wait for this fad to be over.
I'd love to take humans out of the equation of all work possible. The problem is how the fascist rulers will treat the now unemployed population.
Yep. Ideal future is robots do all the work for us while we enjoy life.
But realistic future is rich people enjoy life while normal people starve.
Don't forget the few "lucky" people doing the most disagreeable of jobs because they're still hard to automate and the starving population provides a cheap desperate pool of labour to do even the most dangerous and unhealthy jobs for a pittance.
