So we're automating repetitive physical work and then shove people into repetitive information work that pays peanuts, has no benefits, forces you to work in isolation and spend tons of time sitting in front of the screen. And a lot of this information work goes towards training more systems that will automate away more jobs.
And this gets semi-positive coverage from the same press who gladly calls for erasure of individuals from the digital society based on the notion that any "incorrect" opinion can potentially constitute grave societal harm. Hah.
Obviously, the solution isn't to delete automation. It is to make AI algorithms into tools directly usable by average individuals. What is happening right now is kind of the other way around.
- Retric 7y agoI had a really mind bending conversation with someone a while ago that actually liked this kind of work. They where supported by their significant other and no job they could take would really change the couples standard of living. It’s competition is daytime soaps not a 9-5 jobs. It’s still flexible and a little extra spending money makes themselves feel better.
