I’m constantly surprised and disappointed this hasn’t happened.
In France, we take to the streets for the smallest issue (or so they say), and the world mocks us. Meanwhile the gun crazy crowd in the US only ever uses their god given arms to gun down their neighbours and schoolmates. Great job!I like to show my students the clip of French firefighters protesting and how they’re making police pull back. There’s a lesson in there about teamwork and being prepared.

We don’t mock you guys for that. There’s plenty other things to use for mocking the French. We’re secretly in awe of the liberal application of the guillotine in a class struggle.
The world mocks you only as standard preset punchlines. Its more upholding tradition than actually funny or real.
For rioting over small shit, I assure you you have our utmost respect.
Silicon Valley CEOs like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Peter Thiel have reported mild growth in AI-fuelled productivity, as well as massive leaps in jobless bourgeoisie rabble surrounding their estates and pounding at the gates with guillotines.
I misread “AI-fuelled productivity” as “AI-fucked productivity”
Just the houses? Don’t forget the yachts, planes, cars.
What if we all plan the end of the world next April 1st. We will all pretend to start race and religious riots until all the billionaires get nervous and go into their bunkers. Then we strip off our costumes and masks and start mixing concrete to pour over the bunker doors and air intake.
That’s why they are driving countries into fascism., there will be plenty of police state jobs.
Eventually they won’t even need them. Your smart fridge reported you discussing seditious conspiracy and your smart washer has noted you own a black hoodie, aka terrorist attire. Your smart vehicle has been remotely disabled, and an Amazon delivery drone has been rerouted to terminate you after its final delivery. Don’t bother trying to turn off the tracking device in your pocket, it still pings even when powered down and between Ring and Flock we can see you at all times anyway.
There still need to be people to go in and arrest them, and meat is cheaper than motors and hydraulics using resources that would otherwise remain unexploited.
All of that requires you have money. Which you don’t have anymore, because you don’t have a job that pays you. Unless the system changes radically, at some point enough people can’t even buy food and have only time in their hands. So what are they going to do?

🙁 Booooo for satire getting my hopes up!
Only satire for now
There are jobs popping up around me here in India where the “job” is to be a software engineer whose responsibility is to review AI-generated code as training data. It pays more than my job…
The burn-out rate is high for being an AI error catcher so I guess they need to offer a high wage.
Place your bets how long before this is moved into the nottheonion sub

It shouldn’t ever be, because The Beaverton is basically the Canadian Onion.
AI has already torched my creative side project I have spent hundreds of hours on to hopefully one day it replaces my miserable income. now that AI has been able to generate acceptable videos by the public. my revenue went down by 80%. and people are expecting lower prices in times of inflation
People think there are wins to come, how I see it is that we have already lost the fight.
What was your creative side project about?
Please point me to those people expecting wins.
They must be very misinformed or super stupid.
Beautiful and appropriate.
