    This is the problem with unchecked capitalism. We had so many tech advances nobody should have to work more than 1hr per day anymore.

    Now a person lives in suboptimal conditions and think why not work 2hrs to get a bigger flat. This person competes against all 1hr slackers and wins. Now another person comes along and grinds 3hrs and wins. The whole thing spirales up until living conditions are unbearable and you cant earn more.

    Whats true: AI increases efficiency. Whats not true: efficiency gains will be handed through to the workers.

    The advances we had since the 70’s are crazy. Yet we went from single income to double income while not having enough for a home, children. So history speaks a different language than bezos.

        It has opened up possibilities for me. Got several save editors made, a 2006 game that now runs and controls well on modern Windows, and it is recompiling a Windows v3.1 game to run natively on modern computers. Also can be used to translate games, and it made a plugin.

        Considering that this is with an experimental local AI model, I think the proper release would push things a step further.

        Take web dev as an example. It can click through websites explorative. Test accessabillity. Do codereviews and prototype solutions.
