| Topic | "AI will destroy jobs" |
| bigblu89 04/27/23 9:41:31 PM #91 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] What automation is doing is eliminating low paying, low skill jobs. Jobs that some people have no other choice but to have. Be it skill level, learning ability, or other factors. You think its hyperbole, but telling an assembly line worker that their job was replaced by AI and they should just learn how to service the machines is the equivalent to saying Want more money?

| bigblu89 04/27/23 5:27:11 PM #77 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Correct. So what it's doing is replacing a few hundred jobs with about 20 that require years of schooling and training. Schooling and training that the people who's jobs are being replaced do not have an cannot afford to get. You're basically asking the 50 year old that spent the day shift to ringing up and bagging your groceries for $12 an hour to go to technical school so they can service the self-checkout machines. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. |

People point to their reluctance to get into the online market. They essentially became the demo store for things people would buy on Amazon. This is true.

Only thing you have time for is to watch sleep, and drive to work Really depends on what the shift is. Right now I work a "normal" 9-5:30. If that switched to, say, 7:30-6, not much would change for me. I'm already up at 6:45 to make sure my kids get off to school on time, and it would only add a half hour to the end of my day. Now, if it was switched to 9-7:30 to cover our west coast customers, then that would be different. Not getting home till 8:00 would suck. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. |

From what I've read, a lot of them make those low amounts of money because they hide most of the "good stuff" behind a 2nd paywall (like paying for personal photo/videos, DMs, etc.) so people subscribe for one month then cancel.

It just fell into the same trap that similar shows like Weeds, Ozark did. It started simple, and the story was simple. Mainly because they didn't know if it would hit. But as the shows gained more and more success, they constantly had to top the season before, so the storylines and situations had to get bigger and more involved. Like, a guy making meth in and RV for some small time sales is an easy story to tell, as is a widow becoming the local weed dealer, or a small time 3rd in line money launderer having to take control of the operation. But then you have to make the story bigger and grandiose. And you end up with them all basically taking over entire Cartels. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. |
