I think this is the real problem with "AI" and implemented algorithms. It's not that they're biased or whatever, or that they'll target certain people, etc.

I think this is the real problem with "AI" and implemented algorithms. It's not that they're biased or whatever, or that they'll target certain people, etc. That's a small % problem. We have the ability to fight that and fix it. And I'm sure we will, because it doesn't really cost us dearly to make things more equitable. No, it's that these algorithms will squeeze every living cent of inefficiency out of a system and pit person against person on who's more willing to work just a little harder for a little less. To take the momentary breaks out of your day, make sure you're working every second. Because those things mean real cash to some person watching the dollars flow in. Turning up the person-utilization % factor or job bid price -- who's going to police against that? Go and celebrate the equality of working to the bone for an unspecified wage. It's interesting how society goes in waves of dog-eat-dog, every-man-for-himself, until you reach some period of relative prosperity, rest, relaxation, and then something happens to turn the clock back (or forward) some more. In the meantime, let those profits flow in!
