terminal western brainworms on China
(thelemmy.club)
Found this comment on a post about how China is "doing capitalism better then the west, socialism is achieved through capitalism, etc".
I was expecting some weird takes in the thread, but this was beyond parody.
Meanwhile China is regulating that many jobs can not be automated even if the technology is able to do it because they want to keep jobs available for people
I think that law was primarily to prevent companies from laying off workers from positions that LLMs can't actually do very well. There is a lot of that happening in the west.
I think they did it for some other jobs too from what I was hearing when I was there last. China has a big workforce of "people standing around" as my friend called it, opening doors and doing a lot of stuff that could definitely be automated. They were telling me those jobs are currently protected from being automated but I'm now wondering if that was a city or province decision or a national one.
