Software developers think "if AI automates coding, I will be able to spend less time on producing widgets, and more time on strategy and architecture."
Bosses think "if AI automates coding, I can get my devs to produce 100x more widgets."

Historically, automation tech has commonly made more work for people: the issue is WHICH people. Whether as an excuse for owners to increase the requirements for expectations in a given day, lessen the labor expected of men while raising the expectations for women, etc. "AI" isn't exceptional.

listen: there's a level on which I don't like "hallucinate" for ai because it's inaccurate. there's another where it's offensive that we are shrugging off so "hallucinations" when we absolutely don't human ones. and another where calling it hallucinations is making it harder to look up human ones

DOGE Is Working on Software That Automates the Firing of Government Workers
Operatives working for Elon Musk’s DOGE appear to be editing the code of AutoRIF—software designed by the Defense Department that could assist in mass firings of federal workers, sources tell WIRED.

The biggest cage match ever will be between Musk and Trump. Elon will try to implement AI in a manner that automates much of what Trump is now trying to control.
Trump will have no understanding of what is going on and will have to turn to the AI oligarchs to support him in this battle.

I will say on the automatic draft registration: this is really a nothing burger. Every man has to register when they turn 18. If they don’t they can get penalties. This automates that.

Imagine this: we have socialism and a planned economy. A new technology is invented that automates a ton including your job. No worries. You get paid to get retrained in a new field and you can keep living in your apartment cause you’re not charged to live there. All is fine.

1920's Parisian automaton made by J.A.F (Jouet et Automates Francais). An early electric automaton in nearly life size, about 5 ft tall, with many moving features. This was in the apartment of Jed Johnson, an interior designer and partner of Andy Warhol.
