Ethan MarcotteTech workers: if you, like me, have ever wondered about how automation will impact your work, you should probably pay close attention to how “artificial intelligence” figures into the WGA strike. https://www.wgacontract2023.org/strike-hub
synlogic@beep yep. someone out there is going to train an LLM specifically on stories or screenplays. what it churns out wont be great and may sometimes be outright insane. but theres a chance it might do better than the lowest quality tier of paid writers. which are often *also* the early career ones, simply trying to make ends meet
Farce Majeure@vathpela @beep agreed. capitalists stealing from skilled labor. trying to make it even harder for working class people to make end's meet. and doing it when humanity already has climate catastrophe looming, and an alliance of autocrats and fascists chipping away at democracy. horrible values and timing
