        Lol. The luddites fought to end industrialization because they didn’t want technology to take their jobs. That’s not a better future for anyone except lazy people who don’t want to adapt.

        Sound familiar?

            What are you talking about?

            Or are you just upset I’m criticizing something you like?

              You’re just saying the word luddites like that’s a cogent critique of anything. You clearly know nothing beyond the headline generalities here.

                What are you talking about?

                My point, very simply put, is that you’re okay with blue collar jobs being automated but not white collar ones.

                Please elaborate on why I “clearly know nothing beyond the headline generalities here.” What a vapid, nothing-statement. Lol.

                  I never said that. All that smugness over words you’ve put in my mouth. You’re either a terrible conversationalist or a troll.

                    Right. You don’t have to explicitly say it for it to be true.

                    If you’re against AI taking white collar jobs, but not blue collar ones, then “you’re okay with blue collar jobs being automated but not white collar ones.”

                    Lol. Not sure why this needs to be spelled out for you so many times.

                    Probably because you don’t like what’s being said and need to remain cognitively dissonant.
