   Yes, dear, strikes are *supposed* to disrupt the status quo. They're *supposed* to make things difficult.

   That's the fucking point.

     @jeff @Archivist @GramrgednAngel I'm not even against AGI replacing all jobs but to define it as "replaceable -> unskilled" just seems wrong

     @Archivist @GramrgednAngel if your job can be replaced by an AI, by definition your job is not high skill

     I never said that AI is high skill, but we indeed disagree as I think that entertainment is high skill. Showpersonship is pretty hard, not to mention that it requires a lot of trial and error to get right

     @Archivist @GramrgednAngel i disagree with the premise that the entertainment industry is high skill and that ai is low skill. it's not the skill that is high, it's thier ego.

     @jeff @GramrgednAngel and behind every entertainment related AI, how many people with high skills do you have?

     Also I mean the opposite, that entertainment is high skill and that it is more likely to be replaced than low skill because it is more profitable to replace 1 expensive human than 7000 "low skills" labourers

     @jeff @GramrgednAngel

     I find this funny because people are currently only trying to replace "high-skill" workers. I have yet to see an innovative startup trying to replace Mcdonald's cooks and street cleaning crews.

     And that is because it means replacing cheap labour (humans) with very expensive labour (humans) because someone needs to fix the bots when they break as often as the ice-cream machines McDonald's tried to use to replace humans, and that cost an arm to fix

     Nope. And you notice. And that's the point.

     Pay workers fair living wages. Pony up.

     @GramrgednAngel @Archivist @jeff >skilled vs unskilled
     
     Can the Mexican walk up to a 35 year-old HIM and, with zero documentation and discontinued (read: non-existent) support from the manufacturer, determine that the controls for this $240,000 motor speak a special variant of RS-485 Modbus+ and that he needs to modify the frequency of his parity bits in the serial packets to communicate with the device in order to change parameters on it?
     
     If the answer is anywhere not soundly and completely "yes", then that represents skilled labor.

     @Archivist @jeff i don't find labor issues "funny." A UPS driver and a screenwriter and an actor and a concept artist each deserve fair wages.

     Stop with this skilled/unskilled shit. Watch a video of a fellow in Mexico working at a food stand chopping an onion he's holding in his hand with a full-size machete and dare to say that's unskilled.

     PAY WORKERS FAIR, LIVING WAGES.

     @Archivist @jeff @GramrgednAngel the reason you don't see farming automation at the level you should is precisely because it's economical for farmers to rely on migrants that will work for shit wages and under dangerous working conditions. This i similar in some ways to slavery. The South could have been far more productive and competitive economically with the north if they automated but they had cheap labor so why bother.

     @Moon @Archivist @GramrgednAngel ironically enough the heavy reliance on slave labor in the south was the only thing keeping the industrial revolution from happening, once automation started being viable, things took off. we are seeing this again and the future looks like it will be more amazing that we can possibly imagine, much to the chagrin of the luddite idpol internet retard warriors

     @jeff @Archivist @GramrgednAngel I am broadly sympathetic to the idea that if productivity is drastically increased through automation that everyone shouldn't have to do make-work jobs to stay alive that occupy 40+ hours a week of their lives.
