Fucking liar, fuck you and your ill gotten wealth
say what u like and get sweatshop cheap prices.
your words are cheap without action.
What do you suggest that has actual impact?
So start it up, Jeff. Hire more people to do less work. Don’t need ai, or automation, or industrialisation, or any of that for the wealthy to share their largess. It’s all technically possible right now or a hundred years ago.
This is a fairy tale told by a psychopath so you let him steal more.
Bezos would rather a steady supply of no-wage laborers sold to him through Jamaica, imported there from Africa. No compensation or healthcare. You are fed gruel, sleep on a floor and work untill you drop from exhaustion.
…like the sugar plantations.
…also like the concentration camps.
I have always said, since the dawn of modern computing, we’ve been becoming more efficient and require less hours. If anything, we could work 3x 6 hour days already even without AI.
It used to take days for insurance quotes, buying a car (financing), and many other technical tasks… Now, everything is so instant. But the workload keeps increasing to keep us poors busy.
Jeff Bezos saying this, is fucking dumb, because he’s just trying to sell us AI in the idea we’ll work less. BS. Even if we did work less, how does that make households survive on 1 income? So fucking full of shit, all billionaires. Detached from reality.
It’s almost as if 5 days is the most sustainable amount of work you can consistently squeeze out of someone and the prices will always rise to ensure it will take that amount or more to survive. 🤔
Sounds like a rigged game on a treadmill to me.
we could work 3x 6 hour days already even without AI.
We can!
If ai could let people do 5 days of work in 3 days, imagine what they can do in 7!
This guy capitalisms
This is exactly what will happen. If you can do your work in half the time, you’ll just get more work. Simple as that.
But the pay will increase :D. Right?
Right?
Yes.
Well no, because now a portion of what you’d be paid needs to go to the billionaires who own the datacentres and the LLMs. :)
I learned that in my first official job. Being a good worker just makes you a sucker. I still am a good worker, the best usually, but I have rarely even gotten an attaboy for it. Luckily I am self (un)employed now for some time.
Now you’re thinking ouside the
boxworkers’ interest!
Is Bezos a child fucker with epstein that we know of?
I think we just might not know about it, but you can be sure Israel knows it.
Fuck off! The industrial revolution should have given us 4 day workweeks decades ago. But, we have been so propagandized and called lazy if we don’t work until we are dead, that people forgot that life is not about the job.
It’s about positioning yourself for the next job. Just keep your head down and work harder, then things will be get better.
If you work hard your whole life and it still doesn’t come, you will be reincarnated to someone with a better socioeconomic standing bases on a formula of how many sick days you use and the stock performance of your company.
Worker’s rights must be fought for with sweat, tears and blood. They are historically not handed down by billionaires, not once ever.
Bezos stepped away from Amazon, so it’s easy for him to say this now to sound like he cares, meanwhile Elon said his workers need to be there no less than 40 hours a week in office. Which is coded speak for “you live here now”
I thought that numbnut was pushing for 60 hour work weeks?
That’s a really effective way of putting it honestly
Bezos wasn’t necessarily lying. You have to look at it from his perspective… you see, he doesn’t see the rest of us as people. He and his billionaire class plan on working 3 days a week.
It’s at least a bit nice of them to plan working a bit more.
It’s at least a bit nice of them to plan working
a bit more.
They work?
They meet online with whatever boards they serve on--they all serve on each other’s boards, btw. That’s maybe eight hours a week. They make a few top level decisions, that’s an hour or two a week. And, they can do this from anywhere in the world. On one of their yachts, on one of their jets. From any of their mansions. Anywhere at all.
No, they don’t work like we work, not even close.
Bezos is right. 100%.
We could have that with AI. But oligarch trash like him will fight tooth and nail to prevent it from happening.
We could have three day work weeks without AI
3 day work weeks? Oh I guess you don’t need benefits as a part time worker!
He’s already given thousands of his employees 0 day work weeks in favor of AI.
Maybe he’s eyeing the fast food strategy of keeping hours under the requirement to provide health insurance.
Everyone getting paid for 3 days only is what he means
Yeah this stuff is rage bait. If workers ever get 3 day work week, they will simply get half their salary as well.
For most people you can’t pay your bills with half your salary.
I’m getting tired of seeing tech make everything worse for human beings. It was not the idea from the start. This is because big tech has become as powerful as entire countries. And their culture is about max profits, of course.
All of this was predicted in many books and scifi movies but still we are unable to stop this development.
Yeah this stuff is rage bait
There are some people out there that have the power to create policies but also for some reason want to do good for people in general. Except that they don’t understand tech. This is to bait them into becoming “for AI”.
Also, to help others make excuses for adding AI.
Bullshit. Capitalist rat-race culture will never normalize this. You’ll just end up managing 33 different AIs for 16h a day and barely paying rent and you know it.
