    But in the actual boring real world AI doesn’t make people more efficient. Studies show it makes people less efficient and ruins their ability to think critically and complete tasks they started assigning to the AI.

    At the same time the data centres powering the AI suck huge amounts of energy and water to achieve the inefficiency and degradation of the work force’s capability.

    Arguably AI is creating jobs because inefficiencies in worker output now requires more workers to do the same amount of work. When I say worker output I am specifically referring to the output of office based workers, and even then this seems to be almost exclusively those in software engineering and management. There is little to no change to the output efficiency of trades at any level. Again arguably more work is available trades to help support the ever increasing data centres.







  • Part of the problem is that you can be a social libertarian (the government shouldn’t tell me who I can/can’t marry) or an economic libertarian (the government shouldn’t tax me). Tending to one is mutually exclusive from tending to the other.

    These are both spectrums as well not hard and fast rules. For example “I’m a man and I want to marry a man” is quite different from “I’m a man and I want to marry a 12 year old child” and “the government shouldn’t tax poor people” (is the economic or social?) is quite different from “the government shouldn’t tax anyone”.

    Given they are spectrums there should be a modicum of both of these ideas but as with anything, extremes are probably going to have extreme downsides.
