Automation was eating into #labor since the 1800s.
#luddites had a go, but were smashed.

But as long as it was steam shovels and the victims were labourers, the upper classes did not have any problems replacing #labour with the machines...

... Even when specific #AI like spreadsheets and Decision support Systems were pushing folks out of jobs over the last ~30 years, everything was peachy.

But now that AI is going after white collar jobs, and we are going to see 80% unemployment, everyone suddenly is developing morality.

There were few of us, myself included warning of this as late as 3 years ago, and the folks who are posting memes now,were laughing at the #AiThreat

TLDR; #capitalism was replacing labour with machines for the last 225 years but there was little of class solidarity...
.. Now the machines are coming for us and there is no labor masses to help us.
