If we do not stop to help each other, what do we become?

    We had better have even more time to help each other as a result of LLMs, or what are we even doing here?

    I realize that everything seems to be about increasing the pace of life, but this is another "chance" for humanity to figure things out.

      No increases in productivity ever led to less working hours, only organized action. We work more hours than miedeval serfs.

        This is not actually true, pretty much everyone today works much less than the vast majority of people in the medieval world.

          Bullshit. Have another cup of coffee on the break they’re allowing you. It will keep you moving til the end of your shift. Remember they imported coffee to keep you working, and eliminate breaks.

          Every last modern convenience is a whip at the back of the workers. We should hang the Capitalist with the entrails of the last Priests.
