    The job apocalypse is absolutely not something to forget.

    Honestly wondering… why not? So far there is no evidence that an LLM can replace a worker of any kind, and all layoffs attributed to “AI” have not proven to be anything other than typical layoffs attributed to corporate greed.

      Indeed. It’s all a shell game to crush the power of labor (particularly in the tech industry) and pump up stock prices. It’s definitely enshittifying work for a lot of people, but an apocalypse it is not. All the nigh-eschatological talk comes from the mouths of specious tech CEOs trying to keep the scam going.
