At least here I don’t have to read /u/crankysysadmin telling everyone they’re entitled and need to do better work and ignore their personal problems in every thread
Lenny is also just missing the decade of pcmasterrace and other pc hardware sub content. It might get there in time but for now Reddit is still a font of information and advice from knowledgeable people.
Fine, born and raised Midwest so switching from 55f to -4f in the space of a week or two is no big deal, it’s supposed to be 50 and raining next week despite it being 1 and snowing today lol
Ideally yes, along with programs to teach people to take care of the machines that replace them. Currently my IT team is tasked with taking care of all these job replacers but without any addition to the IT team to make up for the extra work. Its unsustainable
I work in the casino industry (IT) and my organization has already purchased and deployed a bevy of products to replace people. We’ve been trying nearly everything we can since 2020 as calls for higher wages have gotten louder and the company has no interest in meeting that demand. We have machines that read incoming orders and make cocktails, machines making some of the food or at least helping, machines that deliver food to tables, automated floor cleaners, towel/supply delivering machines at the hotels, hybrid tables that are more of a zoom call than a table game, card printing machines, etc. We’ve cut hundreds of jobs at each location in the past few years.
The automation tools shown at CES and other conferences get bought, get tested, and get improved upon. Dont read these stories and articles and think it isn’t really happening, I’ve deployed a lot of it already and have projects in motion for more later this year as capital projects start up.
A lot of these jobs were extremely simple and not worth a human mind to use on anyway but… under our current system people need jobs. I’d like to see an introduction of better social support systems as we replace these jobs en masse.
That’s the Jamie Fox one right? I watched it and didn’t get anything out of it other than in that world people take drugs to get powers which wasn’t the most innovative thing ever
Yea but now people are less likely to get that refill which saves McDonald’s $0.03 in syrup. Think of the shareholders here bub, they need their profits!
They’re probably worried about the legal precedent of a sitting president actually getting in trouble for genocide, since they’re planning one next year and all.
All that will still happen under trump, plus the Ukrainians will lose their lifeline and be conquered by Russians, and we’ll likely have purges in America or a civil war as trump tries to end America’s run as a democracy.
We’ll never reduce to zero, stop engaging in fantasy delusions. What can do is make realistic effort to curb the largest offenders, which ocean shipping isn’t a part of. If you think we’re going to go back to the age of sail and multi-year journeys for items to reach destinations then you’re high
Only need one
