The problem with automating (AI-ing) jobs isn’t just that the tech is usually not fit-for-purpose.

The problem is when you remove human discretion from a process you are effectively centralizing and obscuring decision-making and creating an attack vector for authoritarian abuse.

They're going after one of the core childhood dream careers (aka firefighter, teacher, astronaut, MAIL CARRIER) and people are going to get mad. NON PARTISAN people are going to get mad.

Wherein Elon says the quiet, corrupt part out loud:

He intends to steal the private IRS data of his political enemies.

How soon before he does the same to his economic competitors?

Or you?

Most people reading this exchange know that tech bros will make billions off of AI while not paying taxes and defunding accessible education

CONGRESSIONAL RECESS

(over images of Elon Musk and Congress) MUSK OR US CONGRESSIONAL RECESS FEBRUARY 14-23

🚨 Your House representative is now back home through February 23.

That’s where we come in.

With Trump and Elon Musk pulling off a billionaire coup in real time, this congressional recess is about turning up the heat like never before. Let’s get to work: indivisi.org/muskorus

I might hate him even more than Trump. Trump is legit insane and at least believes what he says. This guy is pure snake oil evil

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.

This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

False. 47 members of the Dem caucus + McConnell = 48.

Musk's Junta Establishes Him as Head of Government Imagining how we'd cover overseas what's happening to the U.S. right now

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

lol even humans needed thousands of years to be able to depict gravity accurately in the imagery they generated (and we experience it every moment of our lives!) This is where AI's lack of lived experience in the world really shows

I've seen several anecdotes that people who voted for Trump are excited that "he's going to end the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East". Ummmmm, I'm pretty sure all of that is going to get a LOT worse
