why would giving up my job be a bad thing? i don’t dream of labor. I’m also against people being fired through but let’s not act like having job is natural, that’s one of the most pervasive myths of capitalism
You are confusing work with labour. Having a job isn’t natural, but doing stuff is. And if you actually stop doing stuff - i. e. just lie in bed, doing nothing - your body quickly start to suffer and then pretty much decompose.
I would go as far as to say you need labour to be healthy. You need some kind of physical labour (be that sport, gym or something else) to be fit, and for your body to function properly. And you need to use your head to not be bored and go insane - to read, to think, to solve problems etc
Yes! It’s incredibly telling when someone speaks positively of the concept of work, it’s not noble, it’s not necessary, it’s not good. We’ve spent millions of years trying to cut labor out of existence, even before we were humans we were avoiding doing more. We invented cooking to avoid labor, less obvious labor, but still. The wheel wasn’t made so we could do more, it was made so the labor we needed to do was easier. And that’s just labor, work as we know it is a modern (relatively speaking, the timescale is massive) invention that made labor way worse.
LLMs aren’t actually useful for replacing any kind of labor, though, and too many idiots don’t even make the connection that the thing that makes them hate most of their lives is bad.

Do you think your corporate overlords are just going to hand out cash after laying you off?
no, where did I say that? I’m disabled and I can’t work, so I rely on begging people to keep me alive
Who are they going to get to buy they’re shit?
correct, if the means of production were owned by the oppressed then we wouldn’t need to buy anything when just taking it is free
