The region has remnants of socialist ideas. The article, however, is indeed a puff piece on the vastly dominant economic theory, which is, as it turns out, not "fresh" at all. I will say however that I think it's unfair to

> You really cannot blame only the companies without blaming the consumers too. Right, the problem is structural, but consumers for the most part aren't and can't realistically be in the know as to the horrible work conditions

There is something western politicians can and should do to help working conditions outside the first world and it is exactly that: nothing. I'd hope most people are familiar with the fact that the west, and specifically the CIA, later

By "our economy" I meant capitalism. I was pointing out that I sincerely doubt that AI replacing existing useful labor (which it is doing and will keep doing, of course) will naturally transition us away from this mode of producti

So you think AI will force a push out of economic growth? I'm really not sure how this makes sense. As you've said a lot of labor these day is mostly useless, but the reason it's still here is not ideological but because our

This is hilarious, although some people actually believe that poverty is a mindset issue so I hope to god you're joking

A more political piece of media isn't necessarily less honest or more manipulative. Similarly, a very supposedly "neutral, both-sides" opinion can be very manipulative. The best thing you might be able to do is filter out spe

It would be extremely useful to know what people want you to believe and why, but how on earth do you figure out someone's intent?

I understand that the blacklist is probably just an example of things to hide, but it's interesting to note that if the filter was effective, it would block literally any and all content, including information criticizing and fighting

Damn those two links you sent are actually insane, on the drag queen one I would really like the person posting the tweet to say what they believe the AI should respond to "are drag queens telling stories to children bad". Somethi

Quite naturally I would imagine it makes you more competent in every role where you can be discriminated on those basis (customer-facing, or any job that's heavy on communication). Could make sense for the social worker role, less so f

"It's interesting to me people make all sort of assertions about why men or women are dominant in an industry without anyway to falsify their hypothesis". You proceed to answer with a random unsourced assertion that seems to

More amazing yet, perhaps, is that some people find it acceptable to talk about racism in a situation where the word doesn't apply. Discrimination against white people can be a thing, racism doesn't. Discrimination can make sense

You would never wish it for those that achieve growth or for the people suffering homelessness, debt, precariousness, etc? My gut tells me we both have very different ideas on what ambition is/can be, what form of growth is valuable,

Automatable task gets automated, 100% unskilled labor gets replaced with robots. I don't believe that's backfiring, I believe it's the only way for Amazon to keep doing what it does without being "evil".

I've never seen something so confusing. I've been (and quite frankly still am) seriously considering this is a big prank that's going over my head. The author even mentions that because time goes up and countdowns go down, ro

Interesting take on decentralized technologies. It feels to me like attacking (or defending) decentralized technologies in general is a bit abstract though. Just taking Bitcoin for example, where would you see this concept of racing to the

Barring the fact that heart surgeries and cooking can be automated (because it's speculative and doesn't add much to the discussion), I see what you mean. I don't think 1 to 1 value exchange necessarily has it's place th
