Wow, rare Hacker News W:

This is the true problem with AI. It's with who owns it, and what they will inevitably use it for. Whether it can do cool stuff with code or equal a junior developer is irrelevant. What it can do is less important than what it will be used for.

The owning class will use it to reduce payroll costs, which from their perspective is a cost center and always will be. If you're not an owner, then you have no control over the direction or use of AI. You are doomed to have your life disrupted and changed by it, with no input whatsoever. To quote the article, your six shillings a day can become six shillings a week, and you are left to just deal with it however you can. You are "free" to go find some other six shilling a week job. If you can.

And if you think, "Oh, every technology is like this, it's always been this way", you are right. You have always been at the whims of the owning class, and barring a change towards economic democracy, where average people regain control over their lives, it likely always will be.

It's early days and the project is still in beta but we have published an early version of a @coopcloud recipe (https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/lasuite-docs) that makes it easier to deploy Docs for smaller organisations (the La Suite deployment has apparently approx 15,000 users).

We are offering managed Docs instances with full support provided by us. Hosted in the EU by a worker owned tech co-operative.

No bosses, no CEOs and we pay all our taxes.

The targets of the ICE raids are the heartbeat of our communities. They work hard for very little money just for a chance to give their families a better life. They are valued and appreciated and should not live in fear of federal goons. Fuck ICE.
