We will (still) allow children’s cartoon characters to be mutilated and put into explicit situations and then push them as child friendly, but how dare you use a swear in the first 15 seconds of a video or say the work kill.

To me, it is the loss of meaningful work.

Alot of people have complained “why take arts and coders jobs - make AI take the drudgery filled work first and leave us the art and writing!” The problem is: automation already came for those jobs. In 90% of jobs today, the job CAN be automated with no AI needed. It just costs more to automate it then to pay a minimum wage worker. Than means anyone who works those jobs isn’t ACTUALLY doing those jobs. They are instead saving their employer the difference between their pay and the amount needed to automate it.

Before genAI came, there were a few jobs that couldn’t be automated. Those people thought that they not only have job security, but they were the only people actually producing things worth value. They were the ones that weren’t just saving a boss a buck. Then genAI came. Why write a book, code a program, or paint a painting if some program can do the same? Oh, it is better? More authentic? It is surprising how much of the population doesn’t care. And AI is getting better - poisoned training and loss of their users critical thinking skills not withstanding.

Soon, the only thing proud a worker can be about their work is how much they saved their employers money; and for most people that isn’t meaning enough. Somethings got to change.

Depends on who programed the AI - and no, it is not Kyoto

Do they still sell those novelty toy mics that broadcast and speakers pick it up?

I’m not telling you what to do with that, but there are many options.

Thirty is cordless and light, because fuck 50 pound vacuums that you have to lug around because ‘it gets better suction’

Forty is a robotic vacuum that doubles as an alarm clock when it wanders into your room at 7 am, eats a sock, and yells at you to unclog it.

Shouldn’t block people. You can make good money by arguing

Tried to get one at 42 - they required a cola-guard screening first. Requested a cola-guard screening and insurance didn’t cover it until 45. Tried to manually buy one - couple thousand dollars. So basically you can’t start getting screened until 45.
