25 Mind-blowing Reasons This Fucking Sucks
@lolennui awesome, now we can automate away skilled labor, but we still can't solve homelessness and other stuff
@bottlenekdolfin @lolennui This is the equation that no one’s talking about. Tens of thousands of talented people are losing their jobs. And they’re not ignorant to ChatGPT. They can use it as a tool. But companies have stopped hiring, or taking too long to hire, have thousands competing for a single job opening, or discriminating against applicants for whatever reasons. All of these people are out of work. That will cost society much more.
@LGmedia @lolennui not only that, stock prices are through the roof! Think of the shareholders!
@bottlenekdolfin @lolennui Stock rises for as long as you have paying customers. As people pull back on spending, the economy will be impacted past the instant gratification crowd.
@LGmedia @lolennui yeah, Marx wrote about that over a century ago. Henry Ford, despite still being an asshole, believed that so he tried to pay his workers better. All of the neoliberal policies have just wrecked the working class. There are more rich people than before, but also more poor people, and less middle class. It's not a stable situation, not to mention whether or not we strengthen democracy or fall into authoritatianism.
