what's your country?
It's a tech company not recognizing a union of tech workers, a dynamic which will impact the development of several pieces of critical software. I would say it belongs.
Everything made by humans can be destroyed by humans. No social system is forever. The rest is just skill issue.
Here "replace" doesn't mean "being able to do the same job". It means you get fired. Automation in most fields never even tried to get close to a level of quality comparable to what a human can do, but it was enough to displace a majority of workers.
The author is a machine learning engineer, so he's perfectly aware of the limits of whatever is called AI. The point is to make those limits irrelevant by lowering the expected level of quality, as it happened with textile, food, and so on.
There's plenty of neo-nazis in the Free Software movement. It's "Free Software", not "Free People"
Pitting different types of workers against each other automatically promotes you to a scab. Purism and sectarianism are much more harmful to labor organizing than union busting.
I'm a union organizer in tech. My downvote was the 8th, not the 1st. I was busy doing a call with striking riders in Greece. Keep up the good work, scab.
Quit this bullshit. A lot of tech workers working remotely are contractors, precarious workers. Content moderators, data labelers, and the likes are not paid 6 figures and they are not privileged. Most of the workforce of these companies are not white, rich dudebros. Stuff like this adds insult to injury.
most cursed take of the day. This is a terrible system that turns workers in self-entrepreneurs, where most struggle and a few get a lot of money.
luck is not gonna help. Only action and organizing can save us. Join a union too.
Don't you think that generalizing to millions and millions of workers around the world based on a few interactions might not be great?
