Good news, AI monitoring is coming!
Maximum corporate dystopia as a training bed for overall societal totalitarianism.
Unions are the only counter to this, as depressing as that is. Possibly overreach by corporations combined with the collapse of globalism will reempower workers.
But robotics and AI may completely undercut that.
- owebmaster 1y agoCalling it globalism in place of globalization or just capitalism is so cringe
- saubeidl 1y agoCapitalism is the problem and the reason for everything you decry. Until we actually start naming it as such instead of using distractions like globalism, there's no chance at improving things.
- bloak 1y agoTo be honest, the term "capitalism" has accumulated a lot of baggage and people don't always have a clear understanding of what is meant by it so it might be helpful to use a different term with a clear definition.
- saubeidl 1y agoWhile that is true, I believe part of trying to establish a better system is spreading an understanding that the current system is broken - you do that by naming it as such and not leaving the field to competing definitions.
- igor47 1y agoWait so, the thing that is broken is capitalism, and capitalism is the thing that's broken? Doesn't this seem a little circular?

- AtlasBarfed 1y agoNo, you just restated the premise. If I said like Yoda, "capitalism broken is" doesn't make it spherical.
- collingreen 1y agoYoda would say "broken, capitalism is"
- AtlasBarfed 1y agoDon't count me among the people that eagerly defend capitalism, but totalitarianism in the workplace is a function of regulation and a legal system that isn't owned by corporations and the elite. We can have human rights and capitalism to some functional degree, at least domestically. Okay, okay, IF we had a functioning government and elections systems.
- thedevilslawyer 1y agoGlobalization is a good thing. We can't have polluted the earth and gotten ours, and then pull up the ladder on the rest of humanity. It's an immoral position to take. Capitalism is orthogonal. Perhaps we can replace it with whatever..
