why would giving up my job be a bad thing? i don't dream of labor. I'm also against people being fired through but let's not act like having job is natural, that's one of the most pervasive myths of capitalism

Yes! It's incredibly telling when someone speaks positively of the concept of work, it's not noble, it's not necessary, it's not good. We've spent millions of years trying to cut labor out of existence, even before we were humans we were avoiding doing more. We invented cooking to avoid labor, less obvious labor, but still. The wheel wasn't made so we could do more, it was made so the labor we needed to do was easier. And that's just labor, work as we know it is a modern (relatively speaking, the timescale is massive) invention that made labor way worse.

LLMs aren't actually useful for replacing any kind of labor, though, and too many idiots don't even make the connection that the thing that makes them hate most of their lives is bad.

I'm heartened by your reply.

there's a point to be made on the other hand that the wheel made industrialization possible and we all know how that worked out for the people who refused laboring for wages. not all cultures even needed wheels because their local geographies didn't necessitate using wheeled transport. that doesn't mean they didn't use wheels for other applications though.
