Obsessed with this quote from an AI bro who is under the impression that horses "can do whatever they want now" as a result of the invention of the car.

@henry “women were liberated because of the invention of the washing machine”-ass statement

@henry and yet I think it is he who has the blinkers on.

*Winks at camera, tilts glass suggestively*

@henry
The future you get to look forward to after AI does your job badly for you:

@henry

@henry The fastest children will be raced for sport, the rest sold to the glue factory. Freedom!

@henry
(Sorry for the following rant)
EEESH , yeah I can tell he didn’t go to school, particularly history, or just real life experience on a farm 😳🫩
Do ya really wanna know where all the horses went? Lots of ‘em were sent to slaughter houses & are still being sent to slaughter houses to this day.
They’re not “free” from work , people still have ‘em to ride, yet they send them to auction & they end up in a meat factory. So… sorry. You don’t know anything about what you’re talking about 🫩

@henry This isn't as much true. Horses keep being breed by humans, used in races and steaks. The hard lesson is that humans don't return anything to nature, not even themselves.
The clear example is industrial revolution, after which humans haven't been freed from work, but just advanced to new forms of slavery.
Note that I'm truly convinced about the good from technological advances: I just see that humans, on average, can't change for good. The solution is beyond my humble comments.

@jef @henry
They were literally turned into dogfood.

@henry this has to be satire

@Doomed_Daniel @jef @henry That might be a viable alternative for AI bros as well.

@phf @jef @henry
Yeah, but I think their plan is to be on the winning side and dogfood the people they put out of work

@Doomed_Daniel @jef @henry "Even the best-laid plans tend to derail when they encounter open-hardware guillotines..."

@Doomed_Daniel @phf @jef @henry omg is this were the term dogfooding comes from? 😱

@phf @jef @henry
They hope to evade that fade with fascist surveillance states, tech billionaires founding Palantir and similar companies is no coincidence

@flq @Doomed_Daniel @phf @jef @henry Soylent Green is, well, you know...

You know what I really hate? Gangs of horses hanging out at the cafe all day, hogging all the tables and pooping all over the floor, because they have nowhere better to be.

that WOULD be weird, but not for the reasons this person thinks

@henry As much as it pains me to say this, My Little Pony is not, in fact, a documentary.
