"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Most employment contracts are illegal. They throw in bad terms just in the hope an employee won't fight.
Things should clear up soon once sufficient legal advice becomes trivially cheap.
Hold on, let me get my AI lawyer.
Litigation is probably still going to need a person but working though jargon on contracts you wouldn't normally think to call a lawyer for to begin with will become trivial.
They don't go to litigation because they know its illegal. Most common example are non-compete clauses. No one can stop you from gainful employment wherever the fuck you please. The courts have squashed this B.S. thoroughly, except on extremely narrow circumstances, and no one wants the added costs. Litogate, sure lose and pay both costs and still lose.
