It's where we're headed _if we let these assholes get away with it_. They have the money and guns, but we have the numbers.
The sickle and hammer looking real interesting now.
It is all almost making richer even more richer, instead of properly hiring people for HR, AI bots. Instead of having more people at the supermarket, have the customers work as if they were employees, the only thing missing is fetching stuff from warehouse when missing on the shelves, but still pay the same or more. Instead of paying to artists, do job ads using generated AI images with code magically showing off mon…
At least one of my local, out of town, supermarkets doesn't have a warehouse any more. It's all Just in Time, with a residual amount above the main shelves. If you can't find what you want, they don't have it 'out back', because apart from an unloading area, there's no 'out back'.
Why does society need to learn the same lessons over and over?

The problem is now the company has no skin in the game. If the company spent a large amount of time & energy vetting the candidate then it is a more equal transaction.
Yeah but that is true for any form of interview, if there is a leet code problem set it's the same no? So is if they ask you to write a few answers down in a form.
It's funny how employers try to rationalize this -- take Coinbase, for example: https://www.coinbase.com/blog/how-coinbase-is-embracing-ai-i... > While some worry AI will dehumanize the hiring process, we believe the opposite. Deploying AI will enable more quality interactions, more quickly for the candidates who are the best fit for our jobs– without unnecessary administrative tasks or distractions. We fully believe…
"While some worry AI will dehumanize the hiring process, we believe the opposite." "AI will create jobs instead of destroying them." "AI will solve the climate crisis despite doubling or tripling humanity's energy footprint." At some point it became acceptable to lie to the public with a straight face.
What's so insulting about Coinbase here is they are not even trying to make their lies sound plausible anymore.

Same argument for removing customer service with chatbots or AI. It's entirely untrue, and creates a much worse customer experience, but because people drop out your KPIs / NPS is based off of people who were willing to put up with shit to get to a real human.
Well... is a chatbot for customer service really all that much worse than a human who is not permitted to deviate from their script?

Your landlord demands money every month. So do your local utilities - power, gas, water, sewage, garbage collection, phone, internet, etc. Is magical AI going to materialize food out of nowhere for you, with no need for any raw materials to be consumed in the process? Will it make clothes out of nothing?
> Your landlord demands money every month. As if the "AI champion" will have a landlord. Methinks you've not thought this through. > So do your local utilities - power, gas, water, sewage, garbage collection, phone, internet, etc. Unless he owns all that too. Even if that doesn't play out, safe to say that in said hypothetical future it will be owned by a very small group of people. And while they may still have some…

The key is skin in the game. If a human interviews me, if they're wasting my time, they're also wasting their own. So they have some incentive not to do that. But if an AI interviews me, the humans have no incentive not to waste my time. You want to have an AI interview me? No. It can interview my AI agent if you want, but not me . You want to interview me? Put a human on the line.
> You want to have an AI interview me? No. It can interview my AI agent if you want, but not me. Great points overall here. But I just want to pause a second and and react to the above portion : Wow. I really am living in the future.

It's part of the american capitalist dynamic to protect capital by reframing systemic societal problems to be exclusively issues of personal responsibility. It's largely why Americans are so, so fat compared to other nations.
