  • Long ago, companies hired new people and professionals took on apprentices knowing they were bot going to be productive initially, but thst over time they would be trained and loyal.

    Then companies decided that they could poach the people other trained instead of spending money on training their own employees in the interest of short term profits. Then a lack of training meant they didn’t need to increase pay for their own employees to increase shirt term profits, so people started job hopping as it was the only way to increase pay. This of course required personal training outside of working hours or just being good at interviewing, not necessarily the job. That is also why we have entry level positions that require a decade of experience and pay minimum wage.

    We have the current culture because of short term profits being the sole driver of business.











  • No.

    CGI partially replaced one part of media and was similartoo how films replaced a lot of stage plays. It was a step forward and allowed things to be done that couldn’t before to increase immersion. The main complaints were that they took the jobs of one profession, and it didn’t take all the jobs.

    AI, as in LLMs and GenAI images and videos, are plagiarism machines implemented to deceive users with low quality slop and are primarily used to justify mass firings of the work force, promote misinformation, and vomit out such a tidal wave of shit that it is ruining the internet and how customers interact with businesses. It is also ruining the environment, wrecking the economy for everyone except the wealthy, and tons of other negative outcomes.

    They are superficially similar technologies but not even close with the context of how they are being used and the scope of negative impacts.
