Work Reform

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.

MODERATORS
They seem to hate anyone who does anything that requires an education, and love AI making those people homeless and poor and letting any idiot replicate what they did even badly, because they've felt they were looked down on for not having any education.
No AI could ever match the creative genius of Korean animation studio.
"Korean animation studio. Everybody work. Everybody work. We are slaves. Oh no! Tom Cruise!"
"Who's drive car? Bear drive car!"
How can that be?
That's a good question. I think maybe we as a society tend to underestimate bears. They've shown that they're often capable of getting in to trash containers specifically designed to keep them out, and their skill in avoiding racist park rangers in order to make off with pic-i-nic baskets.
Art just requires practice, which is even more rudimentary than education.
Prompt engineering and sifting through slop can appear like practice to anyone who doesn't. This, I find, is the source of the delusion and hate.
Realism takes practice. Art requires insight
Not many people are figuring out things like color theory or perspective from practice alone.
Which is why there's a clear progression for art getting significantly better over the centuries. It's not because artists became more talented, it's because instruction was available.
I don't think art requires practice alone for all people. I spent a long time trying and still never manage to make a stick figure where all the lines connect where they should.
