It's funny that I never considered it, but why would they replace the low wage workers? Capitalism would care most about replacing the high wage workers (except for the CEO and other board members. They obviously are worth every penny and are irreplaceable with ai. ~signed CEO)
because robots are still 10x cheaper than the low wage workers (in developed countries at least), and low wage worker jobs are usually easier to automate.
The high earners' jobs are already mostly replaced by technology, but companies keep employing them and paying them anyway. They mostly schedule meetings.
the issue if you don't employ the smart people, someone else will... and you don't want that typa competition, it is cheaper to just pay them.
It's important to not call executives workers
A good AI is the ultimate CEO: tireless, ruthless, informed, fully capable of generating bullshit yet completely immune to others' bullshit. It has no friends, no family, no property, no conflicts of interest, no ego, no drama, no childhood dreams to fulfill, no lovers to impress, and only one ambition: to maximize profit for the company it manages, by any means necessary.
I look forward to finding out whether Wall Street's first loyalty is to aristocracy or to money, because they will soon be forced to choose.
If companies made logical decisions, yes.
Well, at least sex robots will service the undesirables.
The sex robots will be crazy expensive for a while there. Only the rich will afford them.
they don't need sex robots; they can afford to pay for the real thing
they already cornered the sex market as is!
This happens when capitalists own both labor and the robots.
I disagree with that as a blanket statement. Humans have always used tools to augment our artistic capabilities, and AI is just the newest, shiniest tool. The fact that corps want to replace human artists with machines for cost cutting does not invalidate use cases like an independent singer-wongwriter from generating an album cover for themselves based on their lyrics.
You're telling me Planet Mountain Dew isn't a masterpiece?
Screenshots are not memes
We're 10k users. There's not that much content on here. I didn't post almost ever on reddit, but considering we need content, I steal images I find funny off imgur and post them here in an attempt to add content to the network.
If we fragment our 'funny posts' in tens of subreddits from dozens of instances most users aren't subscribed to or don't often browse, we'll have a lot less to keep ourselves entertained.
Instead of trying to gatekeep when we hardly have enough users, why don't you post things you do find appropriate for this subreddit and just scroll past or downvote what upsets you and move on? There's no place or need for this sort of elitism and offering nothing better in return right now.
