i think a core beef that i have with a lot of this "automation is bad" sentiment lately is that there is no inherent moral good in laboring the story of humanity is one of invention, where we improve our conditions by building things that help us do more things more easily

I would also say that the leverage workers have on bosses is our ability to withhold labor from them; certain types of automation hinder our ability to exert that leverage and aren't morally neutral

Yeah something I wish could be more easily distinguished is whether people are building tools to leverage LLMs on their work, or chasing the mirage of the "AI coworker." I think the latter is both more harmful and less likely to actually do something useful!

(saying this as someone who is not opposed to using AI for software dev but also is very interested in the class character of how these tools are deployed)
