Cute, but we all know the only way these writers are going to get what they want is if they part ways from their current publishers and start a coöperative.

Sure, I agree with that. However, we also need to consider what a “net decrease in productivity” actually means for the population as a whole, and whether it’s something we want to accept as a trade-off for more free time.

Skill issue. You know turns exist, right? Just hire two turns of people who work 3 days a week, and bam! You cover 6 weeks of work. Heck, you are hiring more people so you are creating more employment!

And that’s all even before machines and AI completely replace the need for that work, anyway.

Pfff that’s coward numbers. I’ll do you one better:

We should get a 3-day work week.

Because the working class is apparently too lazy and coward for it.

Crafting a guillotine is not even that hard compared to most of the compromises taken. You don’t even need to build it up to code: if it has issues, it still gets the job done just cause extra pain to the burgeois that goes into it.

Similarly all those *thousands* of people who are parading up in complain to Trump could easily walk into the White House and solve the problem by themselves. Instead, they are content on just “I was here”-ing for a photo.

One thing the last elections convinced me of: at some point, people at large just want to be let be evil.

The latter part makes sense to me tbh. Machines should not allowed to compete with humans (in creative endeavours) because it is an intrinsically unfair competition that further erodes the rights of those humans who are more vulnerable, in the circumstance that is opposite to the intent of having machines around in the first place. They are supposed to do our beast-of-burden work, not make it so that our only pending value to be extracted by capitalism is beast-of-burden work.

What I’m not sure I buy is the idea that the “countless works” generated by AI actually compete with the original, in particular if they are non-infringing. Let’s say I take the work of an author to train an AI on their style. The author writes exclusively noir; I instruct the AI to generate college drama in the same style. Are the new works competing? The author won’t offer me a college drama in the first place.

Stamping pawseal of approval on every print!

Yian Kulu???

My sources indicate that, as a natural intelligence, I can recommend feeling awesome.

Ahem.

• Photo / audio / video evidence.
• Eyewitness testimony

That the eyewitness was also recording does nothing to change veracity, those are still photo / audio / video and can thus be faked.

Huh. The things I miss out of these days!

I’m only three (3) active (and hopefully semi/official) communities away from ditching r/ and moving completely to c/; for most of everything else I’ve found quite sufficient activity on Lemmy + Mastodon. Alas, since “representatives moving their community to lemmy” is not the kind of stuff you can enhance yourself unless you are an admin of those, I’m stuck on waiting.

I’m quite lost (disinterested) on MCU stuff as of late, what’s going on about Thor? Is there a game?

Already moved from lemm.ee to db0 and the only thing I have pending is somehow migrating my posts. Fortuntately I don’t post images (or, when I do, I only post links).

Oh? Where do you guys get these? I get mine from

That’s a nice sentiment but no, it won’t work. If your family member rattles conspiranoia to your face, it means they already don’t care about you to enough a point to not only openly do that, but also they are probably unvaxxed and likely unmasked at the moment. Or every single time.

At that point, they don’t care for you. Period.

No, fuck that fuck you and fuck capitalism. We are already exploited enough in life, now we’ll also have to not only be sour in that we are also exploited in death, but also that at the first nail through or difficult cough our health services will “mysteriously” fail to treat us so that the kid over next door can have an extra kidney and the interns on the big corpo who made the last donation have an extra body minus kidney to jerk off to.

Wait, it works for you, too?

“You’re doin’ it wrong, hooman.”

Capitalism shows that it does indeed work! Just not for the average us.
