I say we make all the low skill workers become Youtubers.....wait a minute...

The money isnt coming from nowhere

It just recirculates

thats fair,

That is significantly less authoritarian than saying fuck you you cant use AI because sentimentalism

I am saying that we could choose against automation if it led to outcomes which we found bad for society

Thats still subjective

like, if the bottom of society all could stop working and it made them unhappy to feel unneeded, then you could keep the low skill jobs open

but in this particular scenario, they could still go off to do more fulfilling things and have some money

the feeling of contributing to society by being productive and happiness being tied together are not subjective, and that is what I would measure 'unhappiness' on

Low skill jobs aren't fulfilling to the overwhelming number of people

well yes, but that'd be a choice of an employee versus a choice of a boardroom member

yes

but there's only a superficial difference between the two

employee can choose he wants to work a position all he likes, if the higher ups decide to go with automation, the employee is fucked

The employee doesnt get to determine company policy

Unless its an employee owned company

I'm certain millions of americans would have rather not lost their jobs to automation or imported foreign labour, given the choice

hence, they weren't consulted

But see GM for why employees shouldn't get to dictate policy

I was about to bust if u were going to argue for employee ran companies <:thinkcide:462282415549841409>

dad certainly wasn't pleased to hear he's going to be laid off at the end of the year

i only need one word as an argument

whistleblowers

and you know why he's being laid off?

his contract has become too expensive

Why hire him when Raj from indua will work fir 3/4s his wages

anyway, i did a single whole argue, now I am tired, goodnight

I don't know how many fucking times I have to repeat myself. for good or ill, the coporation's first priority is increase net profit

^

like, seriously, you have no excuse for not getting this the first time

Anyone who doesn't understand that is willfully naive

well Raj from india more than likely doesn't have his stellar reputation in his field, but still

Well I gotta drive home bois

Who cares

He works for less

I dunno, I've seen corps fight over dad's contract

he's a known name

in that particular market, I guess

it depends if the work actually needs to get done

that being said if for whatever reason after the turn of 2020 I dissappear, shit didn't go so well
