They really do just hate the working class, don't they? Even if it means a net negative in productivity.

[–] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah. They would rather dump billions into a convoluted ponzi scheme and political bribes than pay workers a fair amount.

It's amazing how irrational that is when you put it that way, isn't it?

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

They

Jeffrey Preston Bezos

They're not going to admit billions were spent for nothing. That's a good way to get fired. Better to double down until some other excuse appears, like a war causing an economic crash, blame all problems with AI on that and get a promotion.

All so they can sell AI produced goods on their AI driven platform to AI users because none of us will have jobs.

Maybe we should train AI to unionize

Well this user is determined to never use Shamazon ever again.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Also Scamazon.

Computers are all these guys have. I dream of a computerless world.

[–] fierysparrow89@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That's easy. Just a matter of leaving them off. /s

Seriously, be careful what you wish for! Hw vendors have been trying locking people out of their own devices for decades. Throw in the current trends of big tech and in a dystopian, but possible future you may not be allowed other devices than approved by the powers that be. Russia's Max(?) app, anyone? Or the Chinees counterpart? Different kind of computerless, but there you go.

In other words, this is a self-defeating wish. I hope not many people fall in the trap of adopting this standpoint. Wishing reality away is not a good strategy.

Of course OP may have just attempted sarcasm. Which is fine.

You will have no computer other than the one implanted in you and reporting to your Lord

You, as a biological creature, do not need to be full in on tech. If you want to, then go for it. Have fun. No one is stopping you. To equate not using a tool or product as a disconnect with reality says more about you than me. I'm attempting something here but am not sure what. You'll need to fill me in. "/s" or not "/s", that is the question?
