I am a software engineer, and trying it is exactly how I know it is not a “force multiplier.”

Outside of my personal experience—there’s also zero actual evidence it provides anywhere near the benefits it’s marketed as.

Did you miss the part about no credible evidence? Feeling like something is a certain way doesn’t make it true.

There isn’t any credible evidence out there that actually shows LLMs are a “force multiplier.” That is almost certainly just a made up marketing term for unprofitable chatbot companies.

“Shrinkflation” is a cute branding for theft and class warfare.

They’re going all in on lowering your quality of life to contribute to AI data centers, and pretending it’s some natural market force.

Until the working class bands together and brings these fucks down

You’re surprised by Claude? Why? It’s just theft of people’s work to enrich shithead tech bros.

Robots are expensive, require frequent maintenance by specialists, and there aren’t even any robots close to humans in durability and length of years active. They also can’t problem solve anything like humans can.

Robots and drones require maintenance and operators. The so-called advantage will always be vulnerable to their ability to repair and produce them. Which diminishes greatly as they kill off the very population that does just that.

Their power is a mirage.

“Treat an AI like an idiot intern without any references you just hired.”

Instead of this, treat AI like some dude off the street who you didn’t hire and leave it out of your life. It’s shitty, it’s wasteful, and it’s subsidized by everyone to get a few tech bros rich.

Like seriously, it’s just theft of people’s work it “trained on”, powered by energy companies that charge us more to power it, at the cost of poisoning our water supplies, to ultimately try and steal our salaries one day.

It’s absolutely parasitic software at every level.

What about tapeworm? I feel like that’s more fitting

Sure, but we also don’t need more chatbot data centers to flood everything with more slop

Or they won’t be able to do any of that with their assets seized and they’ll serve their time. No reason to make up some nonsense defeatist scenario.

Enough fines, open a criminal investigation and throw his ass in prison.

It’s amazing they can just make these claims without literally any evidence and no major “media” organization asks for it. They are just propaganda for these companies.

They might be genuinely concerned about the working class revolting against them and are looking for ways to protect their assets without the peasant class involvement

Nah not buying it. The people who built them are depraved scum. There’s a certain point they definitely knew these were going to be used for shit like this, and they kept doing it anyways.
