I'm sure that'll end well, especially as generative AI continues to consume more and more content from itself. What could possibly go wrong?
Amazon is the new Sears and looks like it will end similarly.
Although controversial, I support this move as it will lead to the eventual demise of Amazon. I hate to be a technology accelerationist, but fuck Amazon.
How is AI supposed to throw the wrong item in a box that is far too large without any packing material?
I mean, that is what it would do if it had a physical form, but it doesn't.
The nation’s workforce. Forbes predicts a 25% reduction in the US job market by 2035, and Republicans included a provision in the budget reconciliation that prohibits any regulations on AI technology for 10 years to ensure that happens.
That's gonna be a lot of people unable to afford their bread and circuses.
The only workforce that can be reduced by LLMs are those that just send emails back and forth and don’t actually do any real work.
The fact that Executives and Middle-managers are also the highest paid part of the workforce, maybe it can reduce payroll after all.
Since AI are capable of absorbing vast ammounts of information, and if well coded and trained can avoid a lot of human biases, I would believe that AI could do well in a management position, and since this is simply a way to save money, they should go for the highest position to replace, the CEO.
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.
