    Yegge no longer writes code by hand; instead, he manages a legion of bots to do that for him. His productivity has skyrocketed

    And then the rest of the article does nothing but describe how exactly the opposite is true. But hey, at least now they’re working way more unpaid hours to churn out garbage, right?

    And by design, if you’re not willing or able to work that much, you’ll have no safety net, so you’ll either die or at least end up homeless, and once homelessness is fully criminalized (as is happening piecemeal around the country) that means you’ll end up in prison, as a slave working that many hours anyway.

    They’re actively recreating the Middle Ages, just with a somewhat different propertied class.

    A.I. is like how the automatic machine gun keeps the average infantryman from having to pull the trigger so frequently it has freed up time for them to do other tasks during a fire fight like … well shoot even more I suppose.

    That mid-day nap is real. I’ve never had the urge to just lay down immediately more than I have since AI came around.

        You know, under capitalism labor is a consumed good and is therefore unethical.
