Yeah, there has to be a point when they’re going to realize that they’re hosting bots to advertise to bots, and nobody is going to want to pay for that.
I think you're underestimating the level of intelligence that world-wide corpos have. they do have statisticians and mathematicians, and i guarantee you they do the calculations about these things already.
actually, in a few years, maybe the young people won't spend their time on instagram, because it's all bots anyways. maybe then the young people will enjoy living outside of their screen-devices again, and physical life could get a revival.
Company's aren't some kind of "world conspiracy". They don't work together much besides what they have to to make more money.
Company A doesn't care whether company B suffers because people don't have enough money to buy company B's products because company A doesn't pay their employees properly.
Company A only thinks for itself, and if paying employees less is saving it money, then that's what it will do.
Walmarts and such are actually a special case because their employees will typically spend their money back at the very same company. But that's the exception, not the rule. And also we're talking about white-collar labor being automated, not so much cashiers and such.
Humans have 4 lifes, if you think about it, each lasting for roughly 20 years.
It's this way because dogs and cats (and many other animals!) have an approximate lifespan of 20 years. Humans have 80 years, approximately 4x as much.
It is sothat we can feel the consequences of our own actions in our next life.
To tell another story, workers are like kindle of the great furnace of the industrial-capitalist complex, and to stay at home is to take away the fuel from the machine.
I have read the following very beautiful explanation of randomness:
You may very well assume that the universe is deterministic, i.e. one thing follows after another, but even if that is so, you still end up with infinitely many stars in the night sky, and you cannot predict their patterns and shapes from mere computational-prediction alone. You need to venture out into the night and see the stars for yourself in order to find their arrangement and yourself in the middle of it. That is what randomness is all about: The stars could have any pattern, but they have exactly one. The same applies for humans: Humans could have any character, but they have exactly one. The true human character causes free-will, and that is what you and me experience as the wonder of life.
Ukraine war is the third proxy war IMO, after Vietnam and the Middle East. It was never about Ukraine, the Western world does not give a flying fuck about Ukraine specifically. It's just a power play like in the years of the cold war. Just that this time, Russia started it, instead of the US, so everybody is losing their minds over it.
It's especially interesting as a high birthrate causes a crisis for the future economy when AI replaces a lot of workers and company's will have to finance a large number of unemployed people.
It is university's jobs to collect and disseminate knowledge.
As such, it would make sense for university to host its own journal for scientific research. After all, that is "disseminating knowledge" as well. Universities could do it for the greater good, instead of for profit, at least in sane countries where Universities actually operate for public benefit, not for profit.
Such a journal would have no publishing fees and no access fees. It would undermine the monopoly that Wiley & others have built.
