"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

If a Democrat said something that stupid, MAGA would be blowing it up as if it were the official opinion of the DNC and Every democratic candidate.
So that's what the Dems should do here. Amplify this post widely, and claim that it the new MAGA policy - all entry level workers have to PAY to work, until your company deems you valuable enough to convert you to an unpaid position.
Congratulations! It's like getting a scholarship. Only took six years before you are now eligible to hold a paying position, except there aren't any, any we have to make room for new paying recruits, so you're no longer required. Now you can take your valuable experience to some other company, but they won't hire you because they've got their own pipeline to choose from.
Sociopathic Oligarchs are going to LOVE the concept of the workers paying THEM. Dems need to tell the world that THIS is the future MAGA employment environment, and make them deny it.
