Were they not right? Just like money giving you some runway but will run out, the exposure is still only a leveler, it's still up to you to take advantage of it.

Also, they were not OpenAI.

People avoid voice conversation because they don't want to deal with human live interaction. Most people don't mind talking to themselves, as sad as it sounds. I'm guilty as well.

As someone who needs glasses to use computer, it's really convenient to be able to use voice for interaction, also while driving or at home in the kitchen. I'm waiting for good smart glasses as well, since I don't want to have to keep taking my glasses out just to check any piece of information -- menu, price tag, train time, and so on.

> I think if you go far enough into the past, the "jobs" were fun and enjoyable

Which jobs specifically were fun and enjoyable and during which period? What is the evidence for that?

Automate forklift? like a conveyor?

Successful businesses understand keeping employees happy is also good for business. It isn't either-or.

> Peolpe work not to fill their otherwise empty existence, but in order to earn money

Unless they are desperate, they'd still prefer less dull jobs. Desperate employees are disaster in the waiting.

> Dullness could be solved by making the tasks less dull

That's the recipe for unsafe working environments.

You've been here long enough, I'm sure you could remember all of the posts complaining about the quality of coding bootcamps, that it was too easy for outsiders to learn software development. Is that your idea of gatekeeping?

> When Number of Jobs automated approaches 100% then what?

When was that? Or hypothetical? Why would that be and not that new jobs being created?

I personally think video games / fashion / entertainment have much higher societal / environmental concern than AI. But it isn't for me to judge. You and many other people enjoy them. I'm in the minority. So are you or am I right?

> actually we still don't want those shit datacenters, this wreckless scraping

Those are used by the useless things I mentioned above. I don't think you're showing the same outrage.

Did you buy from China? How were the workers who made those items treated? How did you get those items to where you live? Do you know how much pollution that would cause? (I do buy them, btw, I have no moral superiority).

Did you travel? Think about the cost it causes to society. Again, I love travel.

I don't have problems with you criticizing AI or your favorite targets of the day. I do have issues with fake morality, lacking of self reflection.

Weren't you hesitant downloading apps pre-LLM? If you were, what is the difference?

How do you know it wouldn't scale?

> For some it's also a vanity thing, where entrepreneur or startup sounds better.

That's your projection
