CEOs Are Publicly Boasting About Reducing Their Workforces with AI
- burnt-resistor 1y agoKnowledge workers and all workers need to unionize, stop work, and/or resign to form worker-owned co-ops to stop being abused with dehumanized treatment as disposable, interchangeable cogs for corporate greed. Stop allowing themselves to be pushed around.
- trod1234 1y agoUnionization worked right up until 1981 and it doesn't work anymore. Its time people stop pushing bad advice. The government came up with a plan to destroy unions that corporate America has used ever since with Reagan v. PATCO. I agree the trends towards workers need to stop, but this is not the way.
- burnt-resistor 1y agoWhy is collective negotiation "bad advice"? You're completely dismissive to workers' rights and the only language corporate owners understand. > I agree the trends towards workers need to stop, but this is not the way. So what's your magic "the" answer?
- trod1234 1y agoThere is no "magic" answer in this environment because our hands as individuals are tied. If we had a functional rule of law, and a functional government capable of enforcing antitrust, and a functional fed not intent on money-printing us into oblivion, then it would simply be a matter of aligning and fine-tuning the incentives. We have none of those, and those must necessarily come first. Anything that doesn't put those first, isn't a solution, and is just a waste of everyone's time.
