Comic Strips

Automation and job replacement is a good thing. The reason it feels bad is because we've tied the ability to satisfy our basic needs to employment. In an economic model that actually isn't a dystopian hellscape, robots replacing jobs is something to celebrate.

And to switch our economic model to one in which a person can thrive without pissing the vast majority of our lives away on the grind; we just need to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps!

What's a personal?

"Personal?" Personal what?

Personal is a career?

Why is lemmy filling up with AI posts? Its worse that this is on c/comicstrips

AI generated slop. Reported

As an automechanic, my job will never replace by AI, but instead we're fucked by low wages and the black box automobile has slowly become.

I wanted robots to do my menial unpleasant chores for me so I'd have more time to do art, writing, and analytics. I didn't want robots to do all the art, writing, and analytics so I had more time for chores & menial tasks 😭

Any personals here?

The rich will always have money to pay better people to make beautiful things for them

Just be useful to the rich and you'll survive

Just like they planned it

Everyone thinks their own line of work is safe because everyone knows the nuances of their own job. But the thing that gets you is that the easier a job gets the fewer people are needed and the more replaceable they are. You might not be able to make a robot cashier, but with the scan and go mobile app you only need an employee to wave a scanner (to check that some random items in your cart are included in the barcode on your receipt) and the time per customer to do that is fast enough that you only need one person, and since anyone can wave a scanner you don’t have much leverage to negotiate a raise.

When I see these kinds of posts I just look over at the vibe coders and just laugh harder than any joke about ai taking our jobs

The image looks like AI...

I am starting to think this is AI, but I am not sure. The irony.

Oh man is translation not possible with AI. You have no idea how little languages have in common. A lot of terms don't mean a thing, but combine concepts you don't have or associate to point at a thing.

My dad said, about learning a new language, ''cat means cat, not gato, don't translate'' and I think that holds up pretty well from my experience.

I'm not mad at translation no longer being a viable career choice. I'm mad at capitalism making it so.

Man itl be nice when surgeons can be fully replaced with robots.
