That’s not the problem. the problem is having a “lets turn Chris’ mental illness that’s harmed no one so far, into everyone’s violent problem!” machine.

that’s a bad machine.

I’m getting real sick of the headlines. “Science company says AI will be used to Re-Write the human genome, and identify future Terrorists for the CIA with only random lists of birth certificates, while it designs a 3D printable human heart that has built in wifi controls with 100% police access!”

Didn’t you hear? That’s the problem! The prices must always go up. For the quarterly growth!

Yes. Like all multipliers the heat of the sun requires not only itself the thing that which is acting but also that which is to be acted upon. If you are a handsome wet rock, the distance you are to the sun effects how your heat is multiplied.

What could possibly go wrong?

very hard to convince someone of something when their paycheck requires they don’t understand it. seroiusly “hay I’m one of the people who has been demanding my company finish AI and roll it out and stuff it into everything we sell to look like massive growth so my stocks will start going up even though the language models aren’t even designed to do what were claiming, and they don’t even work well as language models, and we have no real use for them and they’re horrifyingly costly to run, but no, I don’t think it’s a bubble.”

The call buttons at my local Walmart aren’t even corrected to anything. It’s a soothing only button.

Indeed. But ‘starvation’ wages aren’t typical in migrant farm work.

Yes capitalism is a harsh load of ass everywhere, but the farm jobs I’VE WORKED, aren’t lower pay than other jobs available in capitalism. They tend to be better than average, and farms tend to raise the offer year to year as they are straining for more labor.

I live in farm country, and pay for farm labor is usually very fair. It’s seasonal work in remote locations, but the pay isn’t bad at all. Also most the migrant farm laborers only stay for the season, that is if it isn’t too hostile for them to try working the season in the first place.

The people working there definitely don’t have the time or pay to bother stopping you unless you’re actually damaging something.

I’m not sure where the data is that shows this, but it’s pretty easy to find out the law makers aren’t responding to voter demand and they don’t care about protecting children, like most laws this isn’t about the supposed motivation it’s most likely a way to goose up VPN stock value.

Clearly the documentation I dealt with daily was a hallucination. I’m sorry to defy your superior set of facts.

But it gets it wrong TOO! You could be leaning absolute gibberish.

And you have to pay to have it removed!

At this point it’s mostly just to match the dad.

promises promises.

We’ve had worse depressions already. In 08 entire neighborhoods in Reno were totally abandoned, the whole economy seemed to be house construction and repair. At night whole neighborhoods would vanish, not a single light turning on. I knew guys in construction that suddenly couldn’t get work and went around in crews and stripped foreclosed houses of materials to resell or use on lowball job bids, I knew a pretty well off contractor with an adult disabled son who turned to pushing pyramid schemes to try and stay alive basically. I ended up living in an abandoned house for months looking for work. Between the dot Com crash and the housing market bubble my family went from poor to middle class to hoping to survive winter. I remember my dad telling me in an interview they asked him why he changed careers twice and him just laughing like ‘‘you haven’t been in town long then’’ boom and bust. That’s been the nature of things. I still have health problems from getting pneumonia that year when I was basically homeless, I had a friend drag me to a clinic to get penicillin, the doctor had me wait around a few hours so he could have multiple med students come examine me, he had never seen anyone with that advanced of a case in his whole career. And I’m lucky, I know multiple people in their 20s like me at the time that died that winter because they refused to go to the hospital. They knew they couldn’t pay and didn’t want collections. I ended up getting a medical debt bankruptcy a few years later. You live through this and on the news they say things like ‘‘economic recession’’ and ‘‘down turn’’ maybe ‘‘soft raise in unemployment’’ like they guys who used to sign my paychecks were calling me asking if I heard about any work, standing next to me in the clinic line with sunken eyes.

I will say, at that time people were very open handed, you never needed to call someone to help you get your car out of the road, people would jump out and push you to the side, even put some gas in your tank to get home, I used to drive around with gas cans and a tow line especially in the snow, I used to have sand bags too, people would bend over backwards in a second when they saw your situation, it was a time of a lot of social closeness. And no one ever asked in you had a damm job. My god. No one ever said that shit. ‘‘Get a job?’’ Someone might shoot you for that.

Compliance is calculated with previous years costs in workman’s comp, hiring and training costs, and lawsuit and fine payouts. It’s one of the easiest tasks to break down to dollar amounts. If we paid $8k at every site and one site paid $2k because they didn’t get fined on electrical outlets out of code, then one task in compliance saved $6k I’m not theorising with you. I have seen the excel spreadsheets, this isn’t me assuming they exist, this is quantified. This is specified on paper man. What don’t you get here? Marketing is VERY easy to assign a dollar amount to. We made $100k one quarter with $1k paid in marketing, we made $200k next quarter with $2k paid on marketing. Very easy to determine. You want to wake everyone in the morning meeting up? Tell them you want to pull money out of Advertising and redirect it to payroll. They’ll all spit their coffee out. Social media is also very easy to quantify. You just compare metrics across all quarters and pair them to social media follows, this is a huge metric that a lot of business decisions are made on, this isn’t amorphous just because you’re unaware of how important it is to business. Branding also has hard values assigned, and supporting or changing branding is very much a numbers game. Why else do you have companies willing to buy the name of another company even when they don’t need their production or staff along with it? I don’t think you grasp that every single task someone does for a corporation is matched to a dollar figure amount. Seriously. If I could get labor class people to drop one myth it would be that their labor has next to no value. They know what you’re worth and they know how much they aren’t paying you out of the value you produce.

Mopping a floor has a determined metric. I’m not kidding. It’s a metric. Clean bathrooms are worth a determined dollar amount. It’s not simply sales or production, every task has a dollar amount. The amount of time it takes to do the task has a dollar value determined and on paper. Corporations know what every task is worth in dollar amounts. Processing Hazmats? Prevents the fine. Removing trash or pallets? Prevents lawsuits and workplace injury. Level of light reflected from the floor? Has a multiplier effect on sales. Determined. Defined. Training sales people on language choices, massive sales effect. They know how much money every single tasks generates, fines or lawsuits prevented, multiplier effects on average ticket sales, training to say ’ highest consumer rated repair services ’ instead of ‘extended warentee’ these are on paper defined dollar amounts. There is NO JOB in which you are paid to do something of no financial value. There are no unprofitable positions or tasks.
