"AI" actually is pretty stupid and pretty useless except for people whose jobs involve writing 50 page "briefs".

reality is we (i.e. Americans and not you) should just shut the borders completely down and stop doing business with China and India. We'll be better off in the long run.

You've said a lot of terrible things to me but this was the most hurtful.

the ABA and AMA both are cartel industries protecting jobs that could have been done by regular college grads in most cases for decades yet they've kept a stranglehold on it. they aren't just going to let it go so don't get your panties in a bunch over this shit. you libs have been trying to force obsolete excel for the last 15 years yet us numbers assholes still exist. higher education has been proven to be an absolute scam over and over for decades yet parents still feed $50K+ a year to those clowns.

We’ll still be able to power our cheerful computer girlfriends (for an ever-increasing fee) but it’s not going to majorly affect the economy (beyond dealing with the aftermath of the bubble’s collapse)

the 81-99% is an immensely powerful lobby and the dictator of many general US policies. our entire system basically caters to this demographic

strong US guardrails = china wins

to which you might say, "but fuck china, just ban using their shit in that case"

except as we already discovered over the past year and a half we are absolutely fucking powerless to impose any serious restrictions on trade with china. a 20% tariff is one thing, but china has the power to buttfuck us with reckless abandon if we say something like "we will ban use of any gen AI products from china"

which means our choices are:

a) hoping we can somehow stay competitive

b) be beholden to chinese corporations instead of US corporations

"Knowledge work" deserves to be destroyed though. The public and youth hate AI because they see it as displacing art and music and being the ultimate incarnation of Online, not because they're worried it will replace the class of jobs which were largely already bullshit.

There are real concerns here but Trump not doing some sort of lame safety review of LLMs is not it. Most of human labor will be automated in our lifetimes and we should be thinking of a way to manage that. There is no realistic way to stop that from happening short of blowing up the fabs and existing datacenters.

and thus the necessary course of action is 100% clear
