How awful! *snickers*

People will always want a human to put the blame on, ideally a single one. If it's an AI model, it's suddenly going to be Sam Altman's fault that Johnson and Johnson poisoned people. Doubt he wants that - though the JJ board would certainly love the idea.

while it should be converted into having to work less for everyone.

Who says it should do that? When have advancements ever done that? The wealthy created the tool, and they say it should be used for unimaginable power and profits.

Exactly this. There was a meme (or maybe many) rolling around long ago about how the intention was not to have humans do all the jobs and AI do all the art: quite the opposite.

This is related to the growth in productivity we have seen across industries for the last 50 years. It is through the roof, but wages are lower per unit production and aren't showing any signs of ending their stagnation.

The problem there is the same with all this new tech enhancing lives and production, while people still have to work as much as before, if not more: the gains, monetary or otherwise, are being pocketed by someone else.

It's like wage theft, but "better": it's progress theft.

A coin flip could do his job roughly as well as the average CEO, probably slightly better

Outside of academia, new technology is only developed to replace jobs, or to sell commodities. A business always has incentive to do away with workers when a machine can do their job cheaper. And those machines, aren't designed to make the workers jobs easier. If regulations force safety on companies it can protect workers that way, but only to the bare minimum. If anything, machines have wrecked our bodies and minds. I'm not even convinced that commodity consumption isnt a way to shackle workers to even more machines.

Good. I would think AI could handle scheduling & project management more efficiently & effectively than the greedy rats that CEOs tend to be.

Or when the current CEO wants to do some shady shit, they resign and they bring in someone just to take the fall. Then the "good" CEO comes back.

That's another way to do it, yeah

Nobody is against not having to work. People are against not having work in a world where you need work to survive.

There are a lot of people that are against not having to work. All people that own capital, which is not only the super rich. They might not want to work themselves, but they definitely want it to be generally the case that people should have to work to survive. And many people without capital that are brainwashed by these kinds of people, also want it to be necessary.
