I see now that my making a joke about hunters dick recently was not actually my making a joke, it was discussing the present political goings on in the US, can you fellows pump the brakes a bit, at least give satire a chance to catch up to reality, we'd appreciate it.

The good news, if there is any, is that from what I've heard we're already seeing that AIs trained on the output of other AIs start going insane and producing "Junk", so it may actually be a weirdly self-limiting phenomenon:

I'm not going to say much about this for obvious reasons, but I know of more tthan one artist "salting" and "poisoning" their work as far as ai is concerned, we were discussing it a few weeks ago.

Self checkouts own, I won't hear ill spoken about them

Uh, No, places that have self checkout and cut down drastically on employing staff, are on the other side of the class war. are you sure you want to align with them?

I bet you only shop at farmers markets and never use chain grocers or online shopping

my crack dealer is a free range artisanal small business, with a sideline in glasswares for the house and home.

E: having the choice of self or serf checkout is ok, I am down with that, the 2 supers near me, one is a kinda small (but a large premises with a lot of goods) middle eastern place, all served checkouts, the other is a Waitrose, and as thats "owned" by the staff, you have the choice of self or served checkout, & pretty much all the staff are kind and friendl at both places.

Absolutely.

Technological improvement, accessibility, and ease of use is a good thing actually and basically impossible to stop once it starts. The real problem is the fundamental idea that everyone -has- to work for basic survival when we've been in a position as a society this hasn't been true in a long time. But that might offend how some people think the world should work rather than how it can be better for everyone.

UBI has been on the lips of society for a long time, I remember all sorts of people discussing it in the late 90's as a real;istic alternative.
I think its overall a good idea, that and making sure that ceo's and suchlike cannot ake more than a certain percentage above the lowest paid in a company, thats the kind of capitalism I can get behind.

Self checkouts are fine when they're being added as a convenient option for shoppers, they're like a self-regulating kind of express lane (probably why express lanes seem to have gone extinct in most stores). They're not fine when stores are just trying to cut staffing to the bone. Our local Target has around 8 self-checkout lanes, but that's in addition to around 10 human cashiers on a typical day - this is the way.

Yeah, I totally agree, they are convenient in addition, as I mentioned upthread, also, I agree its unrealistic to freak out (or be surprised), about this kind of thing too much as its a "natural" product of unfettered capitalism.

No doubt. But technological unemployment is always going to happen. The less people you have to hire for nearly the same quality of work the less overhead you have. Even a gay space communist wants to maximize returns while lowering overhead. It's almost literally basic math, there is no way to stop it.

The actual problem is lack of strong social safety nets, lack of strong unions to make sure workers are getting fair wages and fair work/life balance. And a large percent of peoples mindsets towards the very nature of work.

Most probably already know this, However we get the word sabotage not from anything military, (although thats how people try to use it, like a form of terrorism), but from disenfranchised workers, chucking clogs into machinery.
Checking out a higher priced object as a lower priced one is a good way of remembering and paying tribute to those pioneers.

Yeah you've just described a cult

whats even wackier is, yeah, its a cult, of personality, whatever, but what cements it as being a problem is they ascribe exactly the same thinking to everyone, and *Know* that people who rationally think "Oh, Biden, well, "least worst" I guess, heh", are actually "omegacucks who feed biden their firstborn" or something equally insane, and that pardons whatever they do. thats why they are so dangerously out of touch with reality, that's also not helped by the far right echochamber they are plugged into 24/7.
The biggest issue is, there is no "safe middle ground". its completely polarised.

The Inflation Reduction Act is expected to spend $428 billion more than anticipated on green energy projects and such. That would essentially push total renewable and nuclear energy investments north of a trillion dollars. That could help preserve some segment of civilization long term, or help Republicans pay for expanding Trump's tax cuts for the plutocrats in 2025 by abolishing it.

If you need a lol though, just imagine how furious Manchin must be.
