🙁 Booooo for satire getting my hopes up!
Only satire for now
There are jobs popping up around me here in India where the “job” is to be a software engineer whose responsibility is to review AI-generated code as training data. It pays more than my job…
The burn-out rate is high for being an AI error catcher so I guess they need to offer a high wage.
True but it really makes me want to set aside my morals when it pays 8 times what I make right now… Would make life a lot easier
would they notice if you would give false reviews? if its text form maybe you could generate lengthy reviews so that it eats more money, and makes it less likely someone throughly checks your work
Huh… I wonder… I’m not sure. I think I’ll apply and see if I can pollute the well.
don’t let them know your lemmy account if you do it
That’s why they are driving countries into fascism., there will be plenty of police state jobs.
Eventually they won’t even need them. Your smart fridge reported you discussing seditious conspiracy and your smart washer has noted you own a black hoodie, aka terrorist attire. Your smart vehicle has been remotely disabled, and an Amazon delivery drone has been rerouted to terminate you after its final delivery. Don’t bother trying to turn off the tracking device in your pocket, it still pings even when powered down and between Ring and Flock we can see you at all times anyway.
There still need to be people to go in and arrest them, and meat is cheaper than motors and hydraulics using resources that would otherwise remain unexploited.
Police can rid themselves of the loathsome term “peace officer” and revert to their preferred name, “slave catcher”. The violent beatings of minorities and dissidents will continue because anonymously exploding them by remote isn’t as rewarding to the ruling class as watching them suffer.
They aren’t peace officers, they are police officers. That means no peace outside of the exclusion zones( read: Rich enclaves)

I’m constantly surprised and disappointed this hasn’t happened.
In France, we take to the streets for the smallest issue (or so they say), and the world mocks us. Meanwhile the gun crazy crowd in the US only ever uses their god given arms to gun down their neighbours and schoolmates. Great job!France is much smaller; USA is more comparable to the entirety of the EU.
Millions of people are protesting often, but the BBC isn’t reporting about it on the front page.
We have “national” protests every few months, millions of people around the country.
There are big problems organizing here, USA is a surveillance state and if you are an organizing party (like let’s say the Greens for one example), they are watching.
The USA so far has been “too big to fail”, but that won’t last forever
the problem with france is that the nazis have all the guns
Eh, that little shit who get his head bashed in didn’t. But he had a minute of silence at the Assemblée Nationale. That is more worrying that hypothetical guns.
As much as i hate nazis, he was a stupid kid tbh. I spent the whole week commenting about him being an inbred, but looking back, the real guilty ones are those TV cunts who turned his dead into a political shitshow. It was a sacrifice, plain and simple. He was a pawn. The whole thing is just sad.
Sure sure he was manipulated, instrumentalized, whatever. Like Derek in American History X. But this ain’t the US. He was in Lyon, who venerates Jean Moulin, who judged Klaus Barbie. He had every opportunity for an education that would tell him what a fucking idiot he was being. He was a pawn, sure. But at some point it’s just natural selection. Fuck him. And fuck all who made him.
Trust me i know mate these idiots want to “remigrate” my wife. Islamists tried to kill her and they want her back to her country. They’re not any better than the salafists they pretend to despise. I’m not french, i’m waloon, but it’s my culture, my roots, my friends. I’m with the people and i’m with the “extrême left”.
Still my anger goes mostly to the coke fueled parisians idiots on TV who turned that into a shitshow and lied
Stay safe copain ♥️
I like to show my students the clip of French firefighters protesting and how they’re making police pull back. There’s a lesson in there about teamwork and being prepared.
In France, we take to the streets for the smallest issue (or so they say), and the world mocks us.
We don’t mock you guys for that. There’s plenty other things to use for mocking the French. We’re secretly in awe of the liberal application of the guillotine in a class struggle.
The world mocks you only as standard preset punchlines. Its more upholding tradition than actually funny or real.
For rioting over small shit, I assure you you have our utmost respect.
Pretty sure you wouldn’t use firearms against your government if you had them either.
That’s the thing right. I dunno. I haven’t been given the option. And so I ain’t running my mouth about it, because I know I don’t know.
I ain’t spending my days shooting at the range and waving flags and talking about my right to bear arms and how I’ll fuck up anyone who dares threaten my freedom, am I? I just wish those people would actually do what they always talk about. See what happens. Maybe realise they really do have the power.
Our peasants stormed a military garrison inside a castle with whatever they had to go get those weapons to start a revolution. But apparently for the US, eating cake is the preferred option. Seems weird to me.
the world mocks us
I don’t. Go go frog eaters!
Place your bets how long before this is moved into the nottheonion sub
It shouldn’t ever be, because The Beaverton is basically the Canadian Onion.
I think they mean “how long until there’s an actual news report like this”
X-fingers
It’s a joke but that’s sort of what happened in the US during the CoViD lockdowns. People weren’t at work so they had free time to care about unions, racist policing, civil liberties, etc. Even if AI really could take over huge swathes of the work, there’s a fair likelihood of the people who lost their jobs turning data centers into war zones and then autonomous zones.
