What does it mean to be a "Luddite" in the age of AI?
Video Overview & Insights
The term Luddite actually comes from the Luddites, workers who fought back against manufacturers who used technology to replace skilled workers and drive down wages. Sounds familiar?
Luddites didnt think that way about anything and business owners didn't think that way.
Once again proving leftists have no grasp on reality.
In modern-day, workers are paid low wages to train the AI tools that will be used to replace them, as Sarah Flocks (Legislative & Strategic Campaigns Director at the California Labor Federation) explains. That's why we need people-first AI policy. Learn more: https://techequity.us/2024/04/03/how-do-we-create-a-people-first-approach-to-ai-policy/
The emotional part of the speech drowns out the point

Adapt or retire. You can’t legislate these things. If people like her were in charge adoption would be so slow that the country would lose to competitors and become 3rd world
@patjohn775Intelligent women😊
@tranquilitemeditation4258Good video. Then she had to praise Uber which is ironically the biggest anti-worker company in today’s era.
@Nikki-plays-gamesWe should hate technology but I need you to film me so I can earn money from technology aaaah 😂
@magicalemyleThis explanation is coming not from an academic or philosopher, but a political strategist; hence why she makes it sound like the cotton mill was deliberately invented to disenfranchise craftsmen and enslave the working class. It most certainly wasn't; it was invented to make a process more efficient. We don't hear anyone crying over the calligraphers and illuminators who lost their jobs when the printing press was invented, do we? I'm sure those less fortunate who started working in the mills were grateful for the fresh clothes they could now afford, instead of the lice-infested rags they had to make themselves. The rising tide lifts all boats, if people are patient enough; the same will be proven true of AI eventually, once the modern Luddites (this lady included) take the proverbial sticks out of their butts.
@alexandercaldwell1411This is silly.
It's like demanding the peasants of the middle ages to be involved in the business of the royalty.
Today they won't punish you for it, they won't even laugh at you, they will simply pretend to agree or ignore you, but they will definitely move on because people are nothing but cash cows to them.
Dopiero teraz Luddyzm zaczyna mieć sens...przyszedł jego czas!
@JuraMalopolskaai is evil.
@TheElectroFalcon"Why don't you have us involved because we know the craft?"
This is the biggest issue I have with visual ai stealing from artists and photographers. The technology is being developed for corporations alongside corporations. It needs to be developed alongside artists.
Throwing around "Luddite" doesn't mean you are in the right. There's ethics involved and new technology doesn't give a free pass to screw folks over.
