he gets the shit beat outta him and then his friends go "damn dude why'd you bail" he doesn't tell them what happened and then everyone moves on. His absence was not significant!

I mean there kinda is. The place where this tech would genuinely be good to use is "inside the city limits of the top 50 american cities" for which is there already existing speed limit data for every inch of roadway

I mean it does bc here's an image of the video on bluesky dot app with no indication that it is AI.
If someone posted a clip from Jurassic park claiming it was real, the comments would indicate otherwise. AI doesn't get that! This has no context other than itself and that's a meaningful distinction

It matters if you go into the video expecting it's real or not!

The difference though is that you go into, say, Jurassic Park *knowing* that it is special effects and didn't happen. The thing I resent about the AI videos is that it intentionally obfuscates the reality

Speed camera discourse esp in cities is so funny because every time it goes:
"I think we should automate ticketing for speeding"
"That's just a cash grab!"
"Okay but people can just not speed?"
"Ohhhh my god do you not get the point of The Car??"

Not any more than "the government already knows where you are because your phone has location services on 24/7", like we already crossed that bridge

I am biased here because when I read the book it clicked so strongly because not only was I in one of the jobs he specified, but I knew and worked with several of the other archetypes.
There's a summary that goes "not every job is 100% necessary and some exist for silly reasons." Pretty true!

I'm getting tangential but this isn't actually graeber's thesis with Bullshit Jobs; Online has turned it into "email jobs are bullshit" but his actual thesis is that within an organization, many specific jobs are superfluous or unnecessary, not that "construction is real and white collar isnt"
