The algorithms are just replacing soul crushing bullshit jobs. The real problem is that there's no recourse.
This is the kind of stuff punitive damages are for.
- ImPostingOnHN 3y agoThe REAL problem is the algorithm was implemented specifically to hide the problem of no recourse, it's a pretty evil decision
- dsfyu404ed 3y agoIt's no less evil when your state/local government does the same thing using meatbags.
- ImPostingOnHN 3y agodefinitely more evil, since the decision was made so they could hide from even the "meat bags" the sort of treatment they're giving to people So bad that even "meat bags" would be sympathetic, so gotta replace them with algorithms my government at least lets me speak to a "meat bag" who has helped me through the bureaucracy, Uber's goal is to eliminate all help, including even that
- mindslight 3y agoSure, but scaling the evil is itself a problem. And electronic computers are much less expensive than human computers.
