look mah! I said that!

listen, I know that they are angry at the wrong thing (i've said that before too...) but I would have said the same thing about every other sector when it happens to them.

Being a luddite hasn't helped before...pushing our government officials to make the system do its fuckin job will

getting mad at the AI wont fix their problems. that's why people are calling them luddites. they got mad at the technology NOT the government.

if somebody acts dumb, I'm gonna call em dumb...

And on this subject, that makes the situation better, definitely not encouraging in-group/out-group bias & polarization, how?

Getting mad at AI isn’t going to solve their problems but what other options do they have when they are cornered? How will they make a living when a share of the work they previously had is going to start being taken by AI?

This is an entire class of workers, all around the world, that will happen very suddenly with no safety net for them to fall on.

Can you at least try to put yourself in their shoes before calling an entire class of people dumb?

what should they do? I already said. they need to contact their local politicians and get them to move on things like UBI or some other social safety net.

this will continue to happen for ever job in every sector, art is just the tip of the spear in this coming wave of automation.

I understand and empathize believe me, but I know they weren't the first to fall to automation and they most certainly wont be the last.

how much crying did they do for all the warehouse workers who were automated away? how many "ban robots" posts did you see when they came for the car manufacturing jobs?

it sucks but its gonna happen to all of us...just a matter of time.
