I suspect we will eventually get to a point where the engineers working on "AI" - at least, those working on the few applications that actually make the #companies #money - are going to start doing what many engineers working in the "defence" #industry do: obfuscating. Lying. To avoid others knowing what they actually do with their days.

"What do you do?"

"I design bomb casements for cluster munitions, to increase the total number of civilian casualties when despots use them against non-military targets" tends to get you #shunned at parties, so they say "Oh, I do structural steel work" or something else non-specific.

Similarly, "I develop language models that keep helpless customers occupied until they give up in frustration so the companies can lay off most of their customer-support staff" isn't going to be a popular announcement to all those at the party whose jobs were destroyed by "AI".

"Oh, I develop and apply algorithms to novel problems."

"Oh, I do data analysis."

"Oh, I'm a plumber."

Shirley stealthy sells
shattered sea shells
by the sandy sea shore

She will surely be
#shunned by decent society
for selling such
shoddy merchandise

Since she socked away
the spoils of her staggering larceny
to such an extent
she could smugly smile
when consumers screamed
about her lax
don't give a shit attitude

Sheriff Simmons
was summarily summoned
by state investigators
to smooth over
the sticky situation

but since he was
secretly sleeping
with slutty Shirley
the investigation was squashed

Just another shocking case
of sexual shenanigans
such as this
subverting justice

@Faylen @lulu_bear Thank you so much for acknowledging this. This day is also rough for those of us who have been #Shunned some of us miss our mums, but our freedom is the price we pay for their absence in our lives. #AmbiguousLoss
