A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

“League of Legends” is caught in the middle of a dispute between Hollywood’s actors union and an audio company that provides voiceover services for the blockbuster online multiplayer game.

The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists called a strike against “League of Legends” on Tuesday, arguing that Formosa Interactive attempted to get around the ongoing video game strike by hiring non-union actors to work on an unrelated title.

But at some point, it’ll either generate original content on its own, or rely on content already created by other AI.

What you're describing there is called model collapse and it's not a good thing. A generative AI ouroboros accumulates error until its output is useless.

We're already seeing this, but I don't think that will stop people from using AI (with some human oversight). Countless articles are being generated each day using AI, just so that someone can publish a garbage website that gets a lot of views, and reap those sweet advertising dollars. The quality of the content on the internet is eroding, and i don't think we'll be able to put the genie back in the bottle.

I'm seeing more and more legitimate websites no longer using stock images, but AI generated images for their photo content. It's just too easy, so why wouldn't they, right?
