Work Reform
17209 readers

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.

I think that ship has sailed, much the way we use google as a verb for websearch even though Google Search has long lost the honor of being genericized. (I still intentionally use websearch)
LLM generative processing as a service (id est, selling compute) is a failing business model at least for common private use cases. The only way the buildout makes sense is to sell it to governments at gouging prices. And we're in a sorry state when the economy is propped up on government contracts in the service of authoritarian regimes.
It'd be a bit better if compute was being used to facilitate libraries and freight, but instead its surveillance and armies.
